To be fair, i don’t really like the typical false dichotomy of “either it’s aliens or just prosaic clutter and conspiracy theories”.
It’s just illogic, to me.
Since they look virtually identical in both photos, cars or other moving objects seem less likely. Instead, they appear to be stationary lights on the ground. For someone who lives in the area and is genuinely interested in finding out what they...
Fun -- you could challenge them to a game -- here is one picture of road paving happening in Brazil:

If they can match that with an equally clear and...
The funny thing is some self-professed Brazilians in the reddit discussions argue it's implausible for the lights to be from construction vehicles because infrastructure never gets fixed in Brazil.
So it's more likely to be aliens?
I haven't really looked into the details because, personally, I think it's a waste of time. But in cases like this, my default assumption is always that it's a small influencer creating content to gain more followers. It's the same story with...
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...
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...
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...
For the stigma :
First, the stigma is not imaginary. NASA's 2023 independent UAP report explicitly identified stigma as a problem because it can reduce reporting and therefore lead to data loss.
Using UFO Sverige to say there's no stigma in...
