Hi all, I'm a 3D generalist from the UK, so I've enjoyed reading debunks on here over the years as it crosses over well with replicating reality (cameras, optics, material science etc). I've visited occasionally for quite a few years but with...

It seems awfully symmetrical for that -- compare to: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-big-bang-enthralling-photos-of-exploding-bullets-3534366/ For her project "The Big Bang", photographer Deborah Bay captured macro...

So is your position that the spiky shape may represent a real spiky object (that happens to be face-on the the camera throughout!) or that it is an optical artifact but is caused caused by something other than diffraction? Or a third position...

There's a suggestion on Reddit that "It's a bullet impact on the protective dome surrounding the camera." I can see why someone might suggest this as it does look a bit like a bullet hole. But is that even possible? Are we able to determine...

Yeah, there's a wide range of possible solutioins, as there's several variable, like with all these cases: wind, and the drone's altitude, heading, speed, and FOV being the big ones. We can get approximations, but it's probably impossible to...

I was thinking more about this. And I am trying to find a example of a far IR diffraction pattern. So far the only examples I have seen are visible light diffraction, and composite IR/visible diffraction (which I assume is just the visible). I...

- Unusually low video quality - Wild and continuous camera movements - Two different types of static - Random meaningless numbers - Lack of interest in the UFO.

Good morning, Yes you are correct. I do not know that the cameras used in both videos are identical. Based on the UI I suspect they are not identical. But they are both military grade IR of the same era. So I don't think comparison is out of...

The first thing that struck me was "just as a gut reaction, due to the static and the general appearance of the UFO, and such, this looks fake." Of course "this looks fake:" is not a good debunk. But it still looks fake to me! The second and...

I don't think it is. Most videos from the release are dated 01 Jan. I think it's the default day used when they only want to disclose the year.

Status update on Vasco60 work: I've spent some time building a controlled "surgical" test harness to compare individual MNRAS candidate coordinates against SExtractor/PSFEx outputs on the same tile centres, including parity logic such as the...

Hope is free...

A rough fit for the object suggests it's a small windblown thing. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/PR39%20Farsi%20Island/20260512_101130.js
