We have a rich vocabulary, there's no reason to keep using sloppy terms, several alternatives are already in use. I quite like the D/R/I and D/R/C/I distinctions in imaging, most used now in surveilance of humans, but aerial phenomena seem to...

Oh lordy loo, please don't let the UFO conspiracy folks notice how they just landed Artemis 2 so close to where the Tick Tack stuff happened.... I'm not sure I have the patience to cope with that...

I got some of the code running and experimented with visualizing the filtering. What the pipeline is doing is finding all the blobs of light in the planes, and then rejecting ones that are known stars or that don't look like points of light...

Been following the replication efforts and wanted to share some things that might save time. I spent a few months building an independent reimplementation of the Solano et al. (2022) pipeline from scratch, and separately had a colleague run...

Yes. But it's not a misleading paraphrase. I think that's legitimate. Loeb does think that AARO doesn't have a valid explanation for these reports, based on what he said.

Something deep within me i suspects that Big UFO promoters will be late adopters of this system!

To an extent, I guess. Though assuming every distant light with no details is an alien spaceship does not feel pareidolic to me, strictly speaking. A stronger case could be made that it fuels Bigfootology, Nessieology, and Ghostology.

It has been some time since I hung around the 4chan Paranormal board much, the toxicity of the rest of the site was seeping in there as well. But "UFOs are demons" was a thing there for awhile -- with that site, it is important to remember that...

Handy link for pre-launch TLEs of upcoming and previous launches...
