But it does not 'hint' at a technological breakthrough. Rather, it's a plain advertisement for what Amoco thought was a tech breakthrough (and it might well have been one): THORNEL® (I guess the breakthrough was a novel method to make carbon...

If we're going back, let's go WAY back! It is only "real looking" if there is a real thing that looks like that, which has not been proven and can't be proven by pointing to this image! The reasoning here seems a bit circular... (One thing...

Exactly. By admitting that we are dealing with “low information zones” and “imperfect sensing technology”, you are confirming my point: civilian science has simply never had the calibrated, high-quality data networks needed for a rigorous study...

The problem is the UFOs can (and do) always just move into the gaps and low information zones of whatever sensors you have deployed. However at some point you sort of have to do a reset, you take all these reports and recordings from the past...

Why would you give that any credence? Such a claim is indistinguishable from any other claim about any other colour, why do you think the red one is worth believing?

Academic science is being conducted every day by real astronomers, physicists, and engineers. Obviously, they're (for the most part) not studying flying saucers and space ghosts, because these are not real things, but they teach us more about our...

I see your point. However, none of those systems are calibrated to track atmospheric anomalies. Wide-angle astronomy looks for deep-space transients, weather radars filter out aircraft-sized clutter, and consumer cameras lack telemetry. That is...

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...

Astronomy is not limited to deep space there's a lot of wide angle astronomy; Vera C. Rubin, ZTF for transients (at Palomar ala the recent controversial transients linked to nuclear tests study), Pan-STARRS, ATLAS etc Then there's web camera...

I don't know if you could call this a pilot study. What it does: Establishes pretty good preliminary evidence introducing new action-contingent perceptual illusions. Hypothesis generation. What it doesn't do: Establish any mechanism...

https://www.metabunk.org/threads/the-discovery-seeing-code-in-a-diffracted-laser-on-a-wall-after-smoking-dmt-and-my-apple-watch.13680/ This seems to be the same effect as discussed in this thread a couple years ago started about a video in which...

Isn't the trench coat look, a longstanding intelligence services (particularly in the USA)/detective/clandestine skulduggery aesthetic/trope, that goes back to the 1930's. that the Matt Freer character leant into?

Of course not. But there is a fundamental difference between civilian scientific instruments and tactical surveillance networks. Academic institutions point telescopes at specific deep-space targets for astrophysics or track known orbital...
