Agreed. I guess when I saw your post, I was transported back to late February of last year. My 12 year old work truck was acting up, and while we managed to fix it (new turbocharger and variable fin controller), it was a fair bit of work only to...

One of those “I didn’t see that when I took the photo”. (A twofer?)

Compare (April 7th): https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2026-04/pope-leo-xiv-appeal-to-journalists-castel-gandolfo-7-april-2026.html the Pope said he wished simply to say, once again, what he had said in his Urbi et Orbi message on Sunday...

Your periodic reminder that Loeb's Galileo Project involves putting him in charge of a billion-dollar budget and giving him the authority to commandeer any or all of the world's telescopes on a whim if he thinks something alien might be passing by.

I noted (Tim Phillips): I briefed Representative Luna while serving at AARO and wish she and her staff spent more time vetting their sources and witness UAP claims.

I don't know the answer to this, are TLEs reliable for just-launched satellites? For some period they are still attached to the launch vehicle which may still be providing significant acceleration, and even after that there's a period where the...

I wonder if they, and the other phenomena described, had anything to do with the son's almost classic description of sleep paralysis which he describes happening after the encounters. (I think we can think of the son as the primary witness)...

Ah , I've looked at the Celestrak prediction for the upcoming G17-21 launch and it has the Launch Launch time as 2026-04-11 02:39:00 UTC and the Deploy time as 2026-04-11 03:40:58.960 UTC, which is approximately 1hr later. That matches the...

My immediate thought would be that people are very bad at judging motion and distances of context-less dots of light. A little over a year ago we heard many firsthand stories from people who believed they were seeing mysterious orbs fly just...

But we know that some people are seeing things! The thing on GIMBAL exists! It's just not where and what people think it is. And at that point the call is coming from inside the house: the people who make them think that these are...

This must be the launch from april 2, on the other one they were much closer

Using this file (attached) https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/supplemental/sup-gp.php?INTDES=2026-073&FORMAT=TLE I see the train pass near Norway, Iceland and down off the coast of western europe around 20:40-20:50 UTC EDIT: the 19:20 UTC...

Indeed. I'd argue he's well aware of what he's triggering, that's the intent. Besides the hustling, the political maneuvering, the grifting, the search for clicks, views and relevance, at the core is a group of people that seem to hold a...
