Regarding what you said about the "amplitude" of what someone sees (I take that you mean the apparent size of the object), I would expect that most people seeing something very large, so, less likely to be a misinterpretation of something...
I don't see how that analogy works.
If someone has photos/ video of (e/g.) a UFO, and doesn't share it, that material can't inform the opinion of others. It is not evidence for us.
It is only evidence in the narrow sense that it is a record for...
2.5 million data points reduced to 187 data points, some of which show absurd jumps. That seems to show that even radar-visual cases cannot alsways be relied upon to give confirming data.
There have been some comments in this thread that have suggested that for various reasons, such as fear of ridicule, or of missing something happening when attempting to taking a photo/video, may be the reason for clearer recordings of anomalous...

A similar argument...
I'd say that's largely correct as those "centuries of hindsight" included a lot of what we now take for granted as science and technology. Our current understanding of the laws of nature and the development of human biology and culture have...
Calls to mind one of Ronald Reagan's favorite jokes, here abbreviated as much as I can without losing the point...
One must admire the optimism of the UFO believers, I guess... however unfounded the underlying assumption.
Yep. Essentially, the claim seems to be "Well, THIS would not work, but we had this other thing that would work, trust me bros, but to hide it we patented non-functioning nonsense."
It would seem simpler just to not patent anything.
If I were...

So, is he claiming it doesn't satisfy #2:
I'm lost here. Does that "clear description" need to contain clear descriptions of all precursors and/or equipment needed to make it work? Can the patent be properly issued if it references...
