The reason for the broken dashes of contrails is simple, but something often not seen from the ground. Air layers, perhaps one moist and the other dry, or one cold and the other warm, can meet each other in a ripple pattern, and a plane traveling...

Remember, there are new generations of young consumers now who have probably never seen the older films. I saw the first Star Wars only after being urged to see it by my son, a teenager at the time, who had biked over to the nearby theater...

Hi there, I tried myself to analyse the relevant frames on this video. I don't know how to use more sophisticated tools so sorry it's not perfect work but enough to ask my question. I tried to find a suitable area to follow on the frames in the...

True. I once read an account of workers in the fields, reaping grain in the all-night twilight of midsummer somewhere in the western USSR and marveling at a strange bright sky in the east that they (much later!) found to be due to the the...

Blue Origin New Glenn rocket explodes on launchpad in the background on a Ring camera, at the exact moment that a pizza is being delivered. And the driver doesn't seem to notice or care. Source: x.com/huntermanley/status/2060178188462850358

They're just throwing in every trope, cliche, urban legend, bit of folk lore, traditional imagery, pre-packaged conspiracy theory, and recycled Spielbergania they can think of to pad out this cranked out cash grab. Maybe it will be a less...

I had never realized before, but my back yard appears to be populated by aliens! When listing their characteristics, add this to the list: aliens show an inordinate fondness of bird seed.

I made some videos to help compare the background motion frame by frame before / after the zip off. I used the frames from the 25% slowed down portion as suggested above. Here I've compared the frames just prior to the zip off to get a baseline...

I'm seeing a plane in this image and similar ones -- added here are the features that I am seeing, and hopefully it is clear why I think it' a plane rather than a broken contrail. The winglet and vertical stabilizer are indistinct, but note...

I was just coming in to make the same point Short, isolated contrail segments are usually caused by an aircraft briefly passing through a thin layer of very cold, ice-supersaturated air where contrails can form or persist, while the surrounding...

And don't neglect War of the Worlds, where long-buried alien spacecraft are activated/possessed by bolts of lightning-like energy, and even A.I., where the frozen artificial boy is eventually revived to complete his purpose by evolved robots /...

Note: he has done both in the past -- space aliens in CE3K and ET, and interdimensional flying saucer and grey-alien-type creature in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skul.

Possibly as it's just a random flash from below his local horizon and the sound does not appear to reach his location during this video segment?
