Mendel reacted to Andreas's post in the thread The Calvine object – a secret US reconnaissance platform? with
Like.
Well, the F-117 was indeed operational at the time; it had even been used in combat. The B-2 first flew in 1989, so quite a lot of research into stealth technology was underway at the time. However, these projects are now well documented. Most... -

Agree.
I totally agree. But some people (with lively imaginations) seem to believe it was some kind of (almost) operational craft, beyond the stage of night flights over White Sands—and that makes it even less plausible, in my opinion. An early-stage... -

Informative.
Thanks - I was implicitly referring to this scheme as well: the D‑C‑R‑I scheme (Detection, Classification, Recognition, Identification). This appears to be the quasi‑official version used by the DoD / US Army since 2005. It is definitely worth... -

@Mick West As you've noted, the distant lights at 22:01:12 are almost certainly a vehicle ahead passing over a hill and out of view. I've narrowed the location to 59.9695725,-127.9937562. https://maps.app.goo.gl/S1bHgitvdc2yiqRB7 -

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

Detection: dark shadows crossing my woods. (Or should that be "implied detection"? "Detection of implied objects? I didn't see the objects until after I saw their shadows.) Classification: birds. Big birds. Recognition: Turkey buzzards. Cathartes...

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...

Winner.
The subtle (or not so subtle, depending on who you are) difference between "it is unexplained" and "it is inexplicable" can be played upon with some success by promoters of various flavors of Woo. You have to give it a bit of thought to realize... -
The hatch isn't on the same side as the docking windows (which are facing away from the camera here, in the slightly wider gap between the top balloons). It also has an inflatable ring around the base and five airbags around the docking tunnel to...

Mendel replied to the thread The 'Gimbal' UFO: Marik Claims "New Findings" Falsify Prosaic Explanations.It's also been called a "J-hook". See e.g. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/peings-and-von-rennenkampff-reconstruction-of-potential-flight-paths-for-the-january-2015-“gimbal”-uap.12990/ for details. It's a solution for the target's flight path if...

On the subject of AI slop, this fake image of the capsule has been circulating with the claim that the badge not being burnt shows fakery. I'd say there is a bit more of a problem with that fake. Not to mention the engineering issues...

I have a sleep paralysis joke to tell, but something's holding me back.

I dared. And my g/f now hates you. By about 6 minutes in I thought I was starting to feel queezy, but then I realised it was just my intestines attempting to crawl out of my body so that they could wrap themselves around my neck tightly enough...
