There is no confirmed direct detection of a dark matter particle either. But that does not make dark matter equivalent to Santa Claus, does it ?

Good arguments, but you'd have to know you can hide the signatures once you sign up. And signing up to every site you read is tiresome. I don't think either choice is really better than the other, it's ultimately a design decision and Mick...

Is there a "UAP phenomenon" worth studying? As a cultural oddity and psychological phenomenon, sure. We can compare and contrast it with similar collective self delusions such as the early 20th century wave of interest in garden fairies and...

Yup aliens can be as advanced or as limited as you need them to be to fit your theory.

Yeah, it makes little sense. But the beauty of it is that it doesn't have to make sense, since extraterrestrial probes or satellites are hypothetical objects, and there's no reason to assume they would function like human technology. That's why I...

I note that the article says 'each object spins around an axis that also has precession', which means the object need not ever show the same surface to the telescope in any given period. Basically saying that these satellites are spinning all...

The US and Egypt have maintained a close but quiet military relationship for some time. US AFRICOM operates multiple aircraft types in the region and routinely transits Egyptian airspace in cooperation/coordination with the Egyptian government...

Perhaps you're right, but when reading the whole article, one becomes a bit more concerned. Her conclusion is: "Maybe it was the most brilliant manipulation in history to stigmatize the term "flying saucer" and reshape the problem into a dumping...

I tend to agree with you here @FatPhil that this is a good thing, but I dont think it contradicts what she does in her papers. In the paper Aligned, multiple-transient events in the First Palomar Sky Survey (Villarroel et al 2025) she does...

I think we're talking past each other a bit here. My fault, as I'm using the common UFO world meaning of "meta-materials". There is a a proper use of the word in material sciences: A metamaterial (from the Greek word μετά meta, meaning "beyond"...

As I understand it, AARO sourced these videos from a collection of user-uploaded materials held on a classified network, responding to a request by members of Congress. Each video carries a disclaimer that their chain-of-custody is, or may be...

I quite agree and recall two common American phrases from the `60s and `70s. "Pictures don't lie" "A picture is worth a thousand words" (possibly dating to the 19th Century) Possibly the average persons' experience with film cameras to record...

Presumably they think that any civilisation that has the ability to put objects in geosynchronous orbit around Earth would have such advanced technology that they can monitor us from a distance. But then that poses the question as to why they...
