Like.
Loeb is rather unscientifically binary in his approach: "Either we are dealing with a serious breach of national security or with the biggest scientific discovery in history." Very much rules out misperception and hucksterism. -
Ann K reacted to Harabeck's post in the thread Avi Loeb announced to lead new "UAP Science Advisory Council" for White House with
Agree.
That he's capable of good work just makes it more disappointing that he wastes time on alien spaceship claims. -
Mick West replied to the thread New Feature Sitrec: Simulating Halos, Sun Dogs, and Glories.Already done for stars and satellites. Yeah, I was thinking of that. A little fiddly. I think I'd wait until there's a specific case that needs it. -

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... -
Giddierone replied to the thread New Feature Sitrec: Simulating Halos, Sun Dogs, and Glories.Brocken Spectre and Glories would be cool! (not related to the Alderney case). Maybe with a customisable figure / airplane? Crepuscular rays? Atmospheric refraction? -

John J. reacted to JMartJr's post in the thread Is there a “UAP phenomenon” worth studying? with Like.
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... -
John J. reacted to Andreas's post in the thread Is there a “UAP phenomenon” worth studying? with Like.
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...

Mick West replied to the thread New Feature Sitrec: Simulating Halos, Sun Dogs, and Glories.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)
