Informative.
Another recent arXiv that seems worth adding to the pile is @Ivo Busko Fast Astronomical Transients in Archival Photographic Plates: Using optical aberrations as a tool for discerning real images, from plate artifacts. Source... -

Mauro reacted to Andreas's post in the thread War.gov/UFO - Department of War Releases UAP Files - 2026 Release 1 with Agree.
Why do we have to confirm that the U.S. government doesn't have secret proof of UFOs? Should we also prove that they don't have evidence of Bigfoot or unicorns? And how on earth do you think it would be possible to prove such a thing? The only... -

There will always be unexplained stuff in the LIZ; we will never, ever explain everything captured by sensors, even if we could expand their sensitivity so that they covered the entire Solar System. Improving the sensor range just moves the LIZ...

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

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 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...

Not "uninterested", just satisfied with the answers we already have. I quit believing in Santa Claus when I was four, and in Nessie when I was about ten. I see no reason to revisit either of those conclusions. Curiosity is not. The belief that...

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.

Shoulda gone with "mad software mogul". (John McAfee being the prototype, but there are others.) Technically, that's mad computer scientist.

I just think we have to agree to disagree on this point. Personally, I don't think we "need the data and the research." It's not about proving or disproving alien visitations. It's about disproving individual pieces of "evidence" put forward by...

Winner.
"Me: They should release the data and research that the UAPTF and UFOlogists claim exists or confirm that it doesn't exist, so that it can be debunked." Let's role play Release the video of you saying you owe me 1000 pounds. -
