Short answer for the UFOlogists, in the `80s the oil companies were near the top of the economic heap in the western world and had the money to do this sort of promotion.
Imagine you have a big pile of dirty marbles, so dirty you cannot tell which colour they are. With some effort you manage to clean one and you see it's black. Then you manage to clean another and it's black too. You go on in your cleaning effort...
What a silly show.
Did any of the orb "summoners" have Micks new Starlink predictor app on their smartphone?
Will the "summoners" allow anyone WITH that app on their phone to take part in an event like this? Or will they be banned from attending...
I'm not sure about this. Castor and Pollux don't really seem to line up, and while the motion of the ISS and the satllite looks correct, it does not keep up with the video.
Here, I partially stabilized it. The horiuzon seems level, so the stars...
Carl Crusher has posted a long video recorded at the recent Contact in the Desert conference in Palm Springs. They claim the video shows them summoning orbs with their minds. This is the video ...

There's no problem with saying "a realistic depiction". The difficulty comes when you add "of an alien", when technically it really should be "of an imaginary creature". @JMartJr 's point is valid.
Yeah the simulation will not be 100% atmospherics can vary, your lens might distort slightly differently, there's a few factors that make some satellites show not quite as they did in reality.
It's possible the full picture is birds, balloons, other people's drones, misunderstandings of visible spectrum imagery of intense IR sources etc. etc.
If this is the case, we still learn something from working out what is being seen/ detected/...
"You are technically correct... the best kind of correct."
But I didn't mention hyperealism. And I wouldn't count the Amoco alien, kept mostly in shadow and lacking crisp details, as an example.
I'll stand by "you can't say this is arelistic...
The Amoco alien was meant to be a "realistic" depiction of an alien conforming to popular culture depictions/ "experiencer" reports of that time (which are much the same now).
At approx. 37 mins 33 secs into the video Bob Ochsler says
The fact...
But your (premature) assumption is that "believe in the possibility" is somehow the default position. I disagree, categorically. The tales of "something mysterious", however that's defined, are surely the extraordinary claims for which...
I was thinking along the lines of artists like Ron Mueck (his work starts in the 1990s) who creates incredible hyperrealistic sculptures often at massive scale. Seen in person they are very powerful.
Or there's Duane Hanson whose work preceeds...
AARO hasn't claimed that any of the May 2026 releases, or anything else, show anomalous things in the sense of something likely to be of extraterrestrial origin or new to science in some profound way. AARO receives reports of things that the...
