Oh and FYI - things aren't looking good for the believers:

I completely agree. That is exactly why looking at old, isolated videos is a dead end for science. My point about further analysis is precisely to move away from that: proactive, systematic monitoring with multi-sensor networks and open data in...

Wait, you mean they're not?

I might buy into that if the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park films had been the good guys.

Evidence may not be binary, but existence is. Either something exists or it doesn't. So the spectrum and the available weight of evidence points to a binary conclusion. Before working out what something is we need to determine if it exists or...

The problem is, if you give me a two-year-old video of, say, a dot of light over the ocean that appears to show anomalous acceleration, what am I supposed to do with that as a researcher? I can't go back and set up sensors and there's no more...

But you preceded that with In other words, they reached no conclusion. They could not be "wrong in their conclusion". The items they studied remain unidentified. The reason for that could be any of the several reasons already discussed: perhaps...

Oh and FYI - things aren't looking good for the believers:

I think it's possible that things will just bump along with some anomalous footage coming out but with the problems jdog mentioned. But the sightings will continue and the military will continue to report them. And things might just go back to a...

Fair semantic point. But “no explanation' is exactly what I find interesting. Simple as that. I think you can study UAPs as many do. We agree no conclusive physical evidence has been found.

Logically, there doesn't seem to be anything weird going on around NHI or aliens. And in this day and age with AI, no one is going to believe it unless the alien/plasma/cloud/animal holds a massive press conference and walks around as real...

Absolutely.

In some ways that reputation is a trap. If Villaroel were to publicly come out and announce that she had recanted her previously held opinions because she found the evidence did not support it, THEN the stigma would be coming from her previous...
