HoaxEye replied to the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey.Stars don't have PSFs, but this paper contains some good ideas. Radial profiling of nearby stars is awesome. I'm going to try that. The method of comparing two plates with overlapping FOVs is also great. Sadly this method cannot be used with... -

Informative.
I find this very sloppily worded: "While the analysis is ongoing, one notable result is that our findings independently confirm that these transients exhibit systematically narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) compared to stellar point spread... -

John J. reacted to Mendel's post in the thread The 1933 Hugh Gray Loch Ness monster photo with Like.
Welcome to Metabunk! It's always good to discuss with people well versed in the facts of a case. The paper at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/362866103_Empirical_Analysis_of_the_Hugh_Gray_%27Nessie%27_Photograph lists Roland Watson... -

...and there is nothing that says you have to pick sunrise -- you could pick sunset, or midnight, or moonrise, or moonset, or the time any of the planets rise or set, etc. Nor does it have to be Regulus. SOMETHING will be at pretty much the...

Gary C reacted to Hevach's post in the thread Claim: Chris Bledsoe says Sphinx will face Regulus on Easter 2026 with Like.
Simply put he changed the date because he made a prediction based on an easily predictable celestial event and botched the date, but the correct date is easy to find, and he chose a bright star aligning with the sphinx and that has a history of...

Dr. Villarroell posted on X about a preprint that reports finding similar transients in sky survey from the 1950's conducted at Hamburg Observatory. Source: https://x.com/DrBeaVillarroel/status/2036379674477998209 I haven't had a change to...

@MonkeeSage - beat me to it! Another paper has been released stating that they have found "evidence of transients similar to those previously reported by the VASCO Project for POSS plates" but in other plates. https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.20407...

JMartJr reacted to Charlie Wiser's post in the thread Travis Walton case: Crew boss confesses hoax with Like.
I'm calling it low quality because there's no indication that what he saw was the Phoenix Lights. He didn't even describe it as a formation or a V-shape. -
