Agree.
I don't think we know that, do we? -

No, we do not and I'd argue they do not. The Hambly and Blair paper pointed this out and Hambly had been involved with the digitizing of astronomical photographic plates. He knew what he was talking about. I should have been clearer, as I was... -

John J. reacted to Giddierone's post in the thread The Ariel School, Zimbabwe UFO sighting - has it ever been debunked? with
Like.
I came across this mention of Mil-Mi17 helicopters during some local newspaper archive searches a few week prior. The round / square windows & doorway configuration interest me. Source... -
Edward Current reacted to Harabeck's post in the thread The 'Gimbal' UFO: Marik Claims "New Findings" Falsify Prosaic Explanations with Like.
That's a prediction by Mick based on an understanding of why the bumps occur, not a prediction built into the code. So why is this a salient point? You seem to be conflating our total understanding of the system with what is actually implemented... -

There are two theories, and it's a mistake to conflate them. 1) The Glare Theory - which I think is very well demonstrated, and does not rely on the distant plane theory. 2) The Distant Plane Theory - Where there's a set of possible traversals...

I think those are more hypotheses than data. Triangulation, for example, rested on a heap of assumptions and seemed like something AI spat out without really understanding all the variables. Your continued insistence on its validity was, IIRC...

Yes, AI seems to have completely done away with most people’s sense of what is and isn’t real. Even ones who are trying to be sceptical are trusting AI to tell them what is and isn’t AI. And AI images are now at least superficially quite...

They've been problematic as evidence since Photoshop. The problem is that AI inserted in people's knowledge acquisition may be worse than social media, and the combination is deadly.
