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...

...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...

The woman who appeared to him does know Jesus was Jewish, doesn't she? I'm not sure the Jews had an enormous reverence for the Egyptians, what with the plagues, the slavery, the exodus and whatnot. Maybe she's thinking of Omar Sharif. Maybe...

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...

@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...

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...

Hi Silverado, welcome. The paper lists one author. It is common for academic/ research papers to have a discussion section. Unless it is clearly stated otherwise, the reader will be under the impression that the discussion section is written by...

Given the weight attributed to the FWHM by the author attempting to point to short duration flashes, an enterprising person could go back and compare the FWHM for the removed X-Y scan direction defects and see if they are similar to the FWHM in...

A new paper has emerged, see: Post in thread 'Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey' https://www.metabunk.org/threads/transients-in-the-palomar-observatory-sky-survey.14362/post-365884 I will definitely try at least one of the methods...

We may have to respectfully disagree there. As far as eyewitness testimony goes, his seems as good as any (in my view, that is not very good, as I have mentioned frequently in the past I put little value in unsupported eyewitness testimony) but...

Just start a new one. You can organize your thoughts and evidence from Rogers various claims in a new opening post and then others can post about it. I agree, it keeps the discussion cleaner. You can also ask Mick to split this thread with the...
