Yeah, and frankly, the Daily Record had no reason to believe that it was some top-secret craft not intended for the public to see. Had this really been some military platform, then it was flown in daylight over populated areas. The MoD would...

I had this famous alien appear in my room one day; it was actually an example of lucid dreaming, one of the few times in my life I've managed to achieve this. I'm sure that many or most such encounters are some sort of lucid dream, apart from...

As I recall my first impression was "not very plausible". If those are eyeBALLS then the eyeballs and the sockets that enclose them take up 100% of the interior of that skull. Give that picture to an anthropologist who does reconstructions of...

Of the number of times the book is mentioned in the UFO literature (or today's podcast circuit) I'd say the rate is very high, like 9/10. "Eerieness" is frequently brought up even without the conversation being specifically about the book...

I think we are starting to see the dawning realization that releasing videos is not the Great Disclosure people were hoping for. So Burlison is pivoting to that other concept, the government gave everything away to companies and universities. So...

The system seems to be, in part, just picking up the diffraction pattern. If a mask with the shape of the aperture is used, the resulting diffraction pattern matches what you have noticed quite well: What you perceive as a "diamond pattern...

Besides that, it's a bit of a non-sequitur. Burlison suggests MIT, and others, are engaged in long term research projects for the government. As in now? There is an ongoing long term project about UFOs at MIT? It's unclear, but the video in...

Oh noes! Not research on *projects*. That pretty much condemns them. You can do research on technology, you can do research on the cutting edge of science, but you're definitely trying to hide something if what you're doing is research on *projects*.

Post #20 wasn't really about the objective reality or accuracy of the Hill's accounts. It was more to point out that the Hills did not describe "Greys" as some people (and now Google AI) claim.

(My emphasis) Betty and Barney Hill did not describe anything that resembles a depiction/ description of a "Grey". The Google AI summary is inaccurate. Retellings of the Hill's accounts in books and magazine articles about UFOs, and more...

Like @Smythe Bacchus in post #2, I'd go with "crappy DSP in the digital zoom". Alas, I only have experience of good DSP in digital zoom in the 90s, but our silicon and energy budget was higher.

This is a key point. I suppose most folks alive and engaged in the culture saw the cover of that book (or subsequent books ... though many who weren't struck by it might not recall it at all. We know anecdotally that some number of them were...
