No, I think I was wrong there. The two bright stars have identical-looking little curves, so they can't have the same center of rotation, so it's really just all from camera motion without rotation. I think the "or quicker" is actually the...
Not bad actually.
Doesnt look as similar to Calvine as the "dangled Xmas tree star" recreation in the other thread but it is at least feasible.
Given the lack of support from the UK aviation spotter community on the reality of the alleged jet -...

TTSA was never going to do anything with "internal mass reduction", they were just throwing the term around. DeLonge was making claims about hitting their sample...
I've in the past tried to recreate the photo using both a sheet of glass and small models suspended on fishing line, and found the latter relatively easy to do. (The former, not so much.) In a way, I'm quite happy with the conclusion that the...
As much a fan of recognizing our biases and blind spots as I am. I really have to ask.
Is it really biased if it tracks with reality?
How many times has this story played out?
Am I being biased by siding with the skeptic, here?
Not saying...
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...
Recently, while going through some of my old stuff in the basement, I found a few old issues of UFO Magazine.
I couldn't help but notice a lengthy two-part interview with Nick Pope in the July/August and September/October 1996 issues. He talks...
so a bit late for a 1933 crash, and i can't find any record of it crashing at all, but in 1940- 1941, the Italians were flying around, not especially secretly, the Caproni Campini N.1, one of the first jet aircraft, and to my eye at least, one of...
"Alternative 3" is something that had me wracking my brain for years, on and off, as I'd seen it when it was first shown on TV, but couldn't remember the title, or much of the details. It was only 2 or 3 years ago that (much to my relief) I...
Exactly. This case was considered debunked by most researchers (including Italian researchers) for 2 decades before Grusch made people talk about it again. Pinotti is considered a particularly credulous researcher. Basically his group CUN...
Re-reading the OP, a minor ahistorical detail from Brophy; in the text labelled "Reproduced from Filer's Files #25 - June 16, 2010", George Filer states that William Brophy wrote that his father, Lt. Col. William J. Brophy
"...told me the...
