Did you know there is actually a website of spurious correlations? https://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations?page=4

This is one of the reasons why Metabunk, in its own way, is important. These are the forces of 'unreason', superstition and irrationality, actually forces of barbarism, that have never changed. Humans haven't evolved one joe since we trembled in...

A good demonstration of the effect. However, in some ways you don't even need to reproduce it to detect the problem, that nonsense is being spouted: you can't claim something is simultaniously "raw" and "enhanced" (from just a few posts back) -...

What does "could not explain" even mean? Both UFO and UAP contain a "U" for "unidentified". In the case of persons, identification means being able to determine their names. In the case of projectiles or aircraft, it means, for example, being...

Over the last few days the algorithm thinks I want to see police officers either being mean to children or rescuing kittens or old people because a dog did the "Timmy's down the well" thing and led them to where the rescue was needed. AI (at the...

Unreason often hides within ideology, whether it be cultural, economic, religious, political, or social etc. Simplistic ideology remains an easy gateway for manipulation and exploitation of the human mind. This is because it is easy for people to...

Hmm, @jarlrmai - thats an interesting anomaly, but I think I've worked it out (maybe).... The actual time for launch was 3.50am BST = 2.50UTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Starlink_and_Starshield_launches Confirmed by the SpaceX...

Very interesting. The "movie" part was still obviously slop, and no, you didn't sneak the resheathing of the katana past me, that had me facepalming, but the "making of" part of that was quite well done. After some of the usual tells he owned up...

Lots of reports here: Source: https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1sgey0p/what_was_spotted_in_the_skies_over_europe/ So on 7/4/26 at between 21:13 and maybe 21:40 a Starlink train was apparently visible across the UK But which one...

Q: It only takes about a half dozen satellites at GEO to provide 24 hr surveillance of ~90% of the planet. If we are seeing a lot more transients than that, doesn't that strongly suggest aliens are not involved?

One example of an "unexplainable" report by an officer is https://www.metabunk.org/threads/newsnation-benfield-police-officer-robert-klein-fairfield-county-ct-2022-orb-ufo.13792/ . It turned out that the officer likely saw an aircraft (and we...

Dr. Villarroel posted about another preprint from an independent researcher that allegedly shows the transients correlate with geomagnetic activity. Source: https://x.com/DrBeaVillarroel/status/2041812524174033300 Kevin Cann, Geomagnetic...

I've interviewed him on my podcast and I had a nice chat over beers with him at AlienCon in Pasadena. Nice chap, even though we disagree about a lot, he was great to talk to.
