It can now! Under Video/Long Exposure When you nudge, only the brightest things get visible trails. Although it's JUST visible on some stars. -

Informative.
I think the illusion you are seeing is related to Mach bands. The static functions as a bright neutral gray. Your finger is the figure superimposed against it. Vermeer and many other painters have deliberately used this illusion and created... -

Yeah, well, I think this is quite telling. Also, here's a direct quote from a text written by Villarroel in 2024: ”To break this cycle, we need to focus on clear hypotheses for what we believe we are studying, no matter how crazy or stigmatized...

Just saw this. You're lucky it didn't go off. Kids do crazy things. We used to have medieval neighborhood wars. Bucket helmets made from cardboard with cut garbage bag crests. Shields, and we used to beat the hell out of each other with...

I’m a good sky observer, never seen anything I couldn’t prosaically explain. But I’ll keep you posted if that happens. -

Dislike.
I'm okay with it. Not going to change a thing for me and many others. Just a better tack. I’m tired of scientists telling me they exist or don’t. Lots of bad scientists, lots of bad doctors out there. Passing tests means not a lot. -

I'd take it a step farther: While I might stop listening to repeated, unsubstantiated tall tales from my illogical, conspiracy-minded neighbor, a congresswoman might feel the same as me, but calculate that she needs to pretend to take it...

With the note that, before cameras were so ubiquitous, when it was not to be expected that a Very Close Encounter UFO report might have pictures, there were reports of UFOs getting very close. Sometimes even disgorging occupants to outer about...

And this is the important part: the strange stuff always appears just beyond reach, just beyond the line of sight. Throughout human existence, people have probably always seen things they couldn't identify and interpreted them as various...

100% agree. Let me try to phrase it differently, see if that helps with understanding of the point... Pedantry ensues: ---------------------------------------------------- Anything detected by a camera is either: 1) going to be resolved to the...

Todd Feinman replied to the thread Is there a “UAP phenomenon” worth studying?.I didn’t know this until just now until just looked up. Luna is passionate about UAPs because she had an encounter in the past? Had no idea.

Funny.
You're gonna be really sorry when you find out that the real truth is: bipedal plasmas. -
