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...
There are two issues in one here that I think are worth separating in order to frame the debate more clearly.
First, evidence in science is not always binary. It is not necessarily just "proven" or "nothing at all." It may be more useful to...
If we look at those who applied the most rigorous scientific methodology to the phenomenon, such as GEIPAN, CISU, Project Blue Book, and the COMETA report, the professionals who actually conducted these investigations consistently conclude that a...
Can we not? If you want to use such a query as the starting point for your reply, that's fine. But just pasting that stuff into the thread is a waste of space. I think the mainly relevant part to this was that scientific interest in the topic is...
Can UFOs, UAPs, etc. be studied scientifically? I'd argue they already are.
While reading the thread on the first data release from the War Dept and the comments from the Disclosure advocates, I started making notes on some of what we already...
No, because the movie is relevant to the attitudes of UFOlogy. There's going to be more to say. For example, now we're going to get different flavors of copium:
-The movie is bad. Not a masterpiece that will change the course of human...
Great example of glare and diffraction spikes in PR076 at the 2m20s mark

Obvious sky lanterns. Excessive deference to the witness.
That is old, not part of the release. The link https://www.dvidshub.net/search/?q=uap&view=grid&sort=publishdate is showing all files tagged UAP, but only the first nine are part of Release 3. And of those, only four are actual videos. And of...

Since the question of whether "there is a phenomenon" is central, I wanted to ask something. In the discussion on another thread that led to the creation of this one, I mentioned unexplained cases investigated by GEIPAN. My view was that it might...
I've been accused of posting off-topic unrelated stuff on this thread.
Please remind me again if what I ask is totally off-topic.
The thread is called "is there a UAP phenomena worth studying?"
Many people agree on the fact that there is no...
It might be useful to start a new thread for each individual case studied by GEIPAN that you or others might want to discuss, Posting Guidelines https://www.metabunk.org/threads/posting-guidelines.2064/
Or maybe have a more general thread about...
