There has been a significant uptick in satellite reentries in the last couple years. More space launches than any time in history, more consistent disposal of top stages, a large number of temporary smallsat rideshares, and mega constellations...

Exactly. I think it might be an artifact in the film, but if was impossible to recreate it too, it would be closer to a debunk. But it's actually possible for it to be an object, that's all I tried to prove. Yes I made the Blender camera with...

That is unexpected! Either there's a bug in your pipeline, or in theirs, or the paper is incomplete/junk. How did you pick those 7 candidates? Have the star catalogs you are testing against been changed recently?

Catalog matching was done. That can be tested: three MNRAS 2022 datasets are published here: http://svocats.cab.inta-csic.es/vanish/ Select the list of vanishing objects in POSS I red images (5,399 rows) and perform a cross-match against Gaia and...

2b: Does this show an inverse pattern in the Southern hemisphere? (That is not the way to word it, but it's a point I'd be curious about.)

"do comments across social media show an increase in talk about chemtrails around the month of march" means you're expecting something special around the month of march "do you have data about social media mentions of the chemtrails topic by...

Fresh questions: 1. Are contrails more noticeable near sunrise and sunset? a. Do people notice contrails more readily if they are closer to the visual horizon? b. Do people notice contrails more readily if they take on the color tints...

See Solano(2022). https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/515/1/1380/6607509?login=false This is explained upthread. Vilarroel references that paper, but it's unclear which of the steps have been applied to her data set, since it doesn't match...

This is what I'm trying to work out - where and when is this validation process done, and by whom? Edit - i think maybe here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.10813 Launching the VASCO Citizen Science Project

It wasn't. Villarroel's own data with regard to plate edges strongly suggest that the flaws/"transients" are more dense near the plate edges, though depending on the algorithm, this may be exacerbated by plate overlap. Remember, the graphs of the...

That suggests that the questions should be about the witnesses rather than the the objects themselves. Don't discount the possibility of "bandwagon" sightings, the urge to be part of the crowd that makes people say "me too, I saw it" when all...

We apparently may be (or have recently been) in a new shower as well, M2025-F1 discovered last March. Between March 18-22, 2025, a new meteor shower from the constellation of Puppis was discovered by cameras of the Global Meteor Network. It is...
