Prompted by this thread: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/a-way-of-simulating-the-effect-of-a-camera-bump-on-night-sky-images-of-flaring-starlinks.14940/ I implemented a reasonably physically accurate long exposure simulation. The issue with...

Searching for UFO related events triggers the “UFO BS / AI slop” invasion, been there!

No, I searched for Ariel School. Most of these new videos are probably created using AI tools like Google NotebooLM. All the "creator" has to do is feed it the websites of some researchers and click "make me a script" or "make me an AI voiced...

@Gaspa well the most robust empirical result of ~80 years of UFO research is that under similar observing conditions, individual humans have a high propensity to make the same errors of observation, interpretation, and attribution that humans...

NorCal Dave did a good summary of this case. I was the one who provided Brian Dunning with the general timeline and Brophy connection and all that. Quick recap: Pinotti got those documents, it was a relatively mild story, nothing in the telegrams...

Well damn! Had I been a Twitter guy and seen all your posts, I'd have just used your post for the OP. Would have saved me a lot of time ;) I've harped on this case repeatedly for good reason. As you point out, it was a minor thing from likely...
