Viability does not seem to me to be the problem. An extraordinary hypothesis supported by the very weak evidence of an anecdote may or may not be correct, but it can never be proven (or even strongly supported) using just anecdotes. It does not...

Exactly, I totally agree with you. This is the important thing to remember. Eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable. And it has nothing to do with them not being trustworthy, intelligent enough, having poor eyesight, or anything like that. It's...

Sure, but which ones. What I've implemented is most of the more common halos, some of which (parhelic circle, and Parry arcs, for example) are quite rare. There are others that are even more rare (like you'll likely never see one)

I can't resist sharing this one. Can you spot the give-away?

That he's capable of good work just makes it more disappointing that he wastes time on alien spaceship claims.

The number of skeptics on the team will not change what he sees everywhere, I'd think.

Done! Version 2.84.0 (2026-06-15) New Features Atmospheric Optics (Halos) (Lighting → Atmospheric Optics (Halos)): renders ice-crystal sky optics around the real Sun and Moon — a 22° halo, sun dogs, circumzenithal and circumhorizontal arcs...

Mick West talked to Jon Stewart (whose ufotwitter claim to fame was saying that telepathic puppet interview was a real alien) about his presumed Havana Syndrome. Source: https://x.com/MickWest/status/2031503513432502342 Jon Stewart is...

Well, I was going to ask if strange atmospheric phenomena might eventually be simulatable in sitrec. The case I was thinking of is the 2007 Alderney Case (https://www.metabunk.org/threads/the-alderney-ufo-sighting.12149/) which at least one...

It looks Penguin/Random House imprint Crown Publishing has taken the bait/drunk the HS kool-aid and has announced the publication of a new book that will show the “evidence” of it. It was written by two producers of the 60 Minutes segement...

You posted that a couple of hours ago. I wonder if Trump has come out with an entirely different story by now.

I actually quite like this idea. Some of the James Webb results are unexpected, and new hypotheses are required to explain them. Loeb may be completely off the mark, but this hypothesis seems reasonable at first glance. It explains the early...
