New Starlink Horizon Flare web app, for (hopefully) easy predicting if a location or a flight will have sightings of Starlink Horizon Flares (SHF) https://shf.sitrec.org This is designed as an installable web-app, so once installed it will...

It's not even about one person disagreeing. AARO has limited resources, if they were asked to release Luna's videos as fast as possible they can't send 50 of them through the identification pipeline. Luna's list is from March 31, release 02 from...

that isn't fully accurate: "A Response to Watters et al. (2026)", Villarroel et al. say the dataset "might include plate defects, scanning artefacts, and variable stars" and that "up to two thirds may be false positives". So even if the reported...

It seems Villareol et al are working in reverse. They identify transients, then show that they correlate with things like UFO sightings, nuclear tests and sun shadows. Therefore they can’t be defects or misinterpreted sources. Assuming the...

Here's a prime example. In fact this one goes to extreme lengths to describe things that never happened ("teachers rushed outside to find 62 children staring at nothing," "psychiatrists tested them for weeks" etc) and uses comic book zombie...

We have enough to know plate production, and nuclear tests correlate with Tuesdays and October of 1954. Lots of plates made and nukes tested on Tuesdays and lots of plates and tests in October '54. This can be figured out just using public...

Perhaps many people making UFO reports aren't experienced skywatchers (e.g. amateur astronomers or plane spotters). And people who we might expect to be familiar with the skies can be deceived, in 2016 an Air Canada pilot put his plane into a...

That seems like a good fit.

"To a person with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." If someone is convinced that aliens are visiting us, every light in the sky evokes that suspicion. In much the same way, I've been in the woods without watching the time, and as dusk...

I do not find it too strange. I am pretty conversant with things astronomical, I have once mistaken Venus for a plane's landing lights, though I did recognize the error eventually. (If it ever happened and I did not recognize my error, I don't...

Perhaps partly because it was on the list of Luna's videos, which came from Corbell.

I'm not sure this will be useful, but good quality ATFLIR footage is very rare. Here the F-18 is maneuvering more dramatically than in the other videos, but we see a similar set of passive track acquisition and lock. I think this one is a balloon.
