May I ask, if pushing the LIZ further away continues the trend we've seen to date, of the UAP/UFOs also moving further away as the LIZ is pushed our, would you agree that this wold suggest that the UAP/UFO phenomenon is basically just stuff that...

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".

It's closer to post-modernism than it is to science. It's constructed to not be usefully analysable.

I saw a spider on my front walk today, moving faster than I would have thought possible for a spider to run. Then the cottonwood fluffy finally came down and met its shadow...

I don't think that's happened in the past. Consumer video camera are vastly better and more common than before, but the nature of UFO video (blurry dots) seems to remain exactly the same.

Agreed. But I think that's because it's really hard to do science on something unidentified. Again, we have an 8 page thread on this very question. The first major hurdle is defining what an UAP is? As they are by definition "unidentified", it's...

But developing new technology is nothing new. Obviously, this technology isn't being developed specifically to hunt flying Tic Tacs, since there's no serious reason to believe such objects exist. What we can now see and identify are more distant...

I doubt anything significant is happening at NASA. There's no indication they have done anything since the 2023 report. The "Director of UAP Research" position timed out after a year, and we've not heard anything about a replacement or any...

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...

If a video reveals two blurry pixels in one frame, it's simply unknowable because the information is simply not there to be studied. "Deploying the right sensors" is not a thing that most sightings can do, if the thing is fleeting, or (as happens...

Exactly! Better instruments don't really help. It doesn't matter how great our cameras are; the "anomalous stuff" will still be just out of reach.

And at the same time the number of prosaic objects in the air at all ranges has, ahem, ballooned. More than 15,000 satellites in low earth orbit, including 10,400 Starlinks. (https://planet4589.org/space/stats/active.html) More than 44,000...

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...
