Still a bit of a work in progress, but coming along very nicely. Enable 3D buildings (Terrain), then under the Lighting menu, click "Shadows". This will give you shadows in the look view that are very accurate for the precise date and time. You...

I understand the principle of apparent motion at different distances, and also how parallax can affect apparent motion. I agree my speed estimate is near the water, because the main hypothesis for this fast-moving dot is that it is a diving bird...

Besides the obvious "What in the world would the motive be?" question, why on earth would someone go on national television and NOT have the long flap (seen in your video) below that can easily hide the real neck? At the very very least, if this...

Can't think of any reason why he would wear a mask of himself. Do they use smoothing filters on TV, like those on TikTok? Maybe the AI didn't quite know what to do with this shadowy part of the neck.

He looksss as human asss I do. Hiss...

As skeptical as I am about the transient claims, I can't give much credit to Loeb on this. As an astrophysicist with little background in planetary science, he was way out over his skis attacking other scientists about the interstellar comet...

There is a 2nd release out. Not sure if there is already a thread on that one.

Who are they talking about? There's multiple people in this segment. Just because a bunch of people on social media think something is "viral" doesn't mean there's anything to it. A mask? Like in the old Mission Impossible TV series?

On first seeing it I thought it was a mask. But hearing about clamshell lighting I can see the shadow. And only conspiracy theorists would be stupid enough to make a realistic mask that reveals itself at the neck (I hope that's not crossing a...

I don't think you've categorically demonstrated that the object has to be traveling at 100+mph. Your suggestion is that IF we were looking straight down on the sub from a perfectly perpendicular altitude and the sub is a known 48m in length at...

Um, my impression while watching the video was of a rather slower rate, but I could easily be mistaken. 10 Hz might not rule out birds: While most birds flap their wings at a rate of 5 to 10 times per second... "Learn Birdwatching", 16 May...

note the wide collar on these masks

Makeup might also be in play here.

Looks like a lighting artifact to me. There's a light low in front of him that creates a shadow from the loose T-shirt neck that he's wearing under the black dress shirt; and then there's some light coming from the side (I think) that creates a...
