Agreed. Not being flipped makes more sense to me, since in that case it could almost have been a coincidence. Just some photos snapped in the heat of the moment, when the conditions happened to be exactly right.
I also agree that just because...
I vote for not flipped. The object in question is light above, darker below.
But Ockham and I remain in the "reflection, not faked" category. The fact that something CAN be faked simply isn't evidence that it WAS faked.
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...
Apparently, at least in some extent. I had a lengthy email conversation with him in late 2025 and early 2026. It was mainly about the Sec(AS)2a investigation and what happened to the photographs and negatives. However, we also discussed his views...
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...
A few years ago the Weird Reads with Emily Louise youtube channel did a 2.5 hour deep dive on the history of Alternative 3 and it's impacts on modern UFOlogy lore, from Bill Cooper up through modern people like Michael Salla, Corey Goode and and...
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...
@Gaspa - I was kinda playing devils advocate here in recognizing that many of our resolutions aren't proven and that many people disagree with our position. The skeptics' biases make them believe the simplest, conservative, most likely, least...
Has there been any official announcement ? Not that I think Mr Loeb would get trolled like the community with alien.gov but who knows with the social media Presidents.
I'm going to attend the seminar. But I really disagree with this characterization of Baptiste Friscourt. He is clearly more on the convinced / pro-anomalous side, sure, but he is not someone who treats every claim as established fact. From what...
Toward that end, we have proposed a rating scale meant to help citizens and scientists alike assess the reliability of UAP reports based on the type and quality of evidence. This won't solve most cases (more than half of the sightings reviewed by...
