If I saw something I thought was genuinely interesting, I know that on a phone from the late 2000s I'd have a photo taken within under 5 seconds. I know this, because I saw a very interestingly-illuminated cloud structure between two buildings as...

Yes, but we don't see it as noise, but as social indicator of the prevalence of the idea in the population, so even false positives and misintepretations can be used in meta analyses

Yes, but the public doesn't have the same access to evidence than the jury. But society accepts that the judicial system acted lawfully, even if each member of the society didn't have access to the evidence himself to make his own opinion. For...

I'm glad that you have such a self confidence, really, but what I explained comes from dozens of witness reports. But you ask a real question, I could run an analysis in a sub selection of data to check the average time of a witness taking a...

As I did many times in my post, I added text inclusions to simplify the point of view as seen by an interlocutor. I'm sure you understood it was not a direct quote, interesting that you are trying to accuse me of misquoting you. In the canadian...

If you feel so strongly about Stephenville, please edit your critics in a report, and send them to the SCU, I'm sure they will be very glad to anwser any question. For the last part, you are missing the point, once the witness bias is known...

Then don't announce to the public your conclusion, instead just release your data. If there's only one possible conclusion, everyone will reach it, and you're golden. Don't Pons & Fleischmann.

Hoax signals are probably an important consideration for anyone involved in SETI. Incidental noise from terrestrial sources at least as much. The discoverers of LGM-1 (pulsar PSR B1919+21), the first pulsar detected, 1967...

That's the most interesting (to me) thing in this thread! I've always wanted to see one of those Dutch East India Company phones!

And SETI is actually operating in a rather narrow specialized framework. Radio communication that appears to be from aliens. With emphasis on the APPEARS part, since the potential for spoofing by clever humans would have to be investigated...

Not the same thing. The intelligence community is getting data through satellites and electronic listening stations, not F/A-18s and Patriot fire control radars.

There is also a great abundance of evidence that claimed sightings of flying saucers have been demonstrated to be false. With the failure to present any actual evidence to the contrary, it can be argued that flying saucers also can be assigned to...
