Absolutely. If my sensor can clearly resolve a balloon at 1 mile, and balloons at 1.1 miles can be detected but not resolved (and so become UAP), I can build a better sensor and resolve balloons at 2 miles -- at which point balloons at 2.1 miles... -

Then you've misunderstood @jarlrmai's point and comitted a category error. He's not discussing individual cases to which light can be borne, he's discussing the class of all UAP reports: no matter how good a sensor is, there will always be a...

This is totally off topic for this thread, however if an anecdote and a fuzzy photo is a "good example", can you provide the source for this so we can start a dedicated thread? There is no sense in debating the merits of this case, or others in...

You said: I understand it as "it's worth believing one might be red". A lot of things "have been said", including unicorns, fairies and leprechauns. Nothing is worth believing just because "it has been said". -
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? -

Agree.
The cherry on top is the irony that the LIZs are now geometrically larger, so more things can and will fall into them - the more we can know the more we won't know. [* I'm reticent to suggest by which scaling factor. One could argue that it's... -
Fritzkquzerk replied to the thread War.gov/UFO - Department of War Releases UAP Files - 2026 Release 1.I gotta be honest again, AARO and NASA do not use my money, if they were, I could even agree a bit. I’m still curious if something of interest could come out anyway, if anything, we end up with better instruments. -

I guess to some extent, I think it is. One would assume the various agencies and contractors that build and run these sensor systems are constantly trying to improve them. As such, the resolution improves and the UAP just move out beyond the new...

I’m more scared of humans gotta be honest here!

Gary C replied to the thread War.gov/UFO - Department of War Releases UAP Files - 2026 Release 1.If the volume of the [hemi] sphere being observed is defined by the probability of a positive ID out to range R, shouldn't LIZ scale roughly as the surface of the that space making it a square function? Granted it might have a definable thickness... -

No matter how much better sensors get there will always be things just beyond their range. The solution is more sensor locations. If your sensor can identify out to three miles, and I build an identical sensor five and a half miles away, then...

Hopefully they won’t look for you! -

Winner.
I guess I disagree a bit here. Yes, more data is always better and maybe there is something interesting, but the history of UFOs is largely a history of mostly explainable things. Misperception, faulty memory, bad photos, outright hoaxes and as...
