@HoaxEye compliments to your code quality! Thoroughly documented, type annotations, clean structure. Great work!

I feel late to the party, yet with good stories to tell, and I want to learn my way around here. Thank you for your generous support towards this cause. I am still trying to understand my place in this world of “ours,” and this forum has been a...

First Case: Time: October 3, 1998 (The third day of China's National Day holiday) Location: Somewhere on the hillside of the cemetery behind Qiongzhu Temple, Kunming, Yunnan Overview: A railway worker named Han Jianwei was visiting family graves...

I agree the longer straight line looks like a possible contrail. Though could be something else. If the background is the cold sky I'd expect a contrail to be darker, not lighter than it, in black-hot. I also was thinking about the viewing angle...

Lending support to that hypothesis, there are other frames from the various Apollo missions showing blue artifacts, sometimes in areas of the film outside of the exposure window. Frame AS14-66-9274 from Apollo 14 is a good example, where two...

If we look at the highest resolution version of this image, we can compare the granularity of the photo at the edge of the Moon's horizon, and the sharpness of the 'triangle' itself. The Moon image looks fuzzy and granular when seen in close-up...

If the footage for PR-46 — INDOPACOM 2024 is inverted: And the description is examined: "(...) a football-shaped body with three radial projections: one oriented vertically, and two oriented downward at a 45-degree angle relative to the...

Excellent work geolocating and ruling out the sun. I was thinking there are a lot of ships in the Persian golf. Could this be a direct reflection of the sun from some mirror like object on a ship? Just spit balling theories here, as a daylight...

The second shape is not parachute but a lens flare . The "parachute" / "chandelier" pair is rotating in sync around the red cross, which would be the optical axis I guess : Comparison of frames 313 and 3192 : The north indicator show that...

The key point is this: none of those questions require alien craft or exotic technology to explain them. They are exactly the kinds of ambiguities you expect from low detail infrared footage of distant unresolved targets. People keep jumping...

It is rare to find a daytime shot of a parachute flare used for air force target practice. While it cannot be confirmed that the PR38 is definitely one, its erratic trajectory, the fleeting glimpse of a "parachute," and the long smoke trail...

I think flare is still probably the best guess. But it's not a perfect match (see video I posted of flares with military IR). Whatever it is it is VERY VERY hot/bright. Like the sun but smaller in size. And if the trail represents the movement of...

And if the 14:06:17 at the bottom is the time of recording within the video, and the 5 is elevation angle and 115 is the bearing, then the hot point cannot be the sun. It does look like a different UI element style though, so could be the time on...
