UAP reports can be studied. But commissions have established 50 years ago that there is little scientific value in it.⁴ However much the believers claim otherwise, a UAP phenomenon has not been shown to exist¹. There is no set of characteristics...

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...

I take some comfort in your assertion that you don't know more about those murders. :) Oh, I think intelligent beings would have multiple reasons for not talking to us... 978-0393316049 In all seriousness, I am shocked at how much hay (and...

Psychology is a science and maybe applies best to the study of any kind of UAP phenomenon.

Yes, but I checked my maths, and, unless you're as not in the nordics, or equivalant, at any point in time there are well over 500 starlink satellites in your field of view. (Assuming all starlinks are at 530km, and they're all tilted at 53o, and...

I find signature lines to be a bit of a distraction, and most posters don't use them. So, shall we get rid of them?

I think a psychologist would need the answer to this thread's topic first, because he would have to consider whether a subject is believing in real things, or unreal things.

Also the claims depends on the existence not just of UFOs but ones that have "crashed." Why did it crash? Why should it crash? Why does it need a pilot? The crashed UFO is a trope, not a fact. Some discussion here -...

I'm willing to dump it in the laps of the True Believers for now. I disbelieve there to be any inter-stellar component or non-human entity behind the sightings which get the UFOlogists all a-twitter, and that s true for the "anomalous"...
