Funny.
@Mendel Well, here's an improbable one currently in the news - -
Mendel replied to the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey.Our take. We've said this before. -
FatPhil reacted to Eburacum's post in the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey with
Like.
My take; if I'm wrong it would be nice to know the counterarguments. The idea that aliens put thousands of satellites in orbit before 1957, and then they removed them immediately the first real Terran satellite went up is extremely unlikely. The... -

Informative.
They don't calculate FWHM from photographic plates, but from digitalized high-resolution scans. They carefully estimate intensity from density and fit stellar profiles. With these you can derive an effective FWHM although it's not pure "seeing"... -

Sorry, but if they were detectable by the original plates they would be detectable by any similar system in use since and by all of the newer and more sensitive systems that have come into use since. Are they still being detected? If not then...

I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell the original POSS-1 plates still exist, along with first-generation copies. According to Caltech's archive page showing they retain photographic prints from POSS-1: "The original glass plates are stored...

MonkeeSage reacted to Ann K's post in the thread 1971 Lake Cote / Lago de Cote UFO Aerial Photo with Like.
"It's a hoax", while sometimes true, is often the lazy way to dismiss a thing. That's usually what we DON'T do here. If it's a hoax, we want to know how and why it was done before drawing that conclusion. If it's a mistake, a misidentification, a...

MonkeeSage reacted to UAV Hive's post in the thread Copenhagen airport closure due to reported drone activity with Like.
sUAS News updating on the Billund incident crediting all the effort of @ThomasH and Metabunk. The airline have refused to reveal if any British or American tourists were onboard the flight, but they have disclosed that they are in dialogue with...

Jjdog replied to the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey.You also have to remember that the nuclear paper also claims (based on a somewhat weak correlation, as pointed out in Critical Evaluation of Studies Alleging Evidence for Technosignatures in the POSS1-E Photographic Plates by Watters, et.al.)...

Ann K reacted to Ravi's post in the thread 1971 Lake Cote / Lago de Cote UFO Aerial Photo with Agree.
@DarkLight A hoaxer would've have to create fake aerial images in an obscure format, that are not possible to make if you are not in an aircraft using a dedicated camera, photographing the scenes. Unless you believe it was recreated using...
