Come on the description is so clear! You just need one or two neutron stars to use, and then the craft will fly. Easy as that!

Could it be they fell foul of a disinformation tactic originating from China/Russia?

And just for the record, the reason I have never gone public with news that there are 5 leprechauns living in my east walk-in closet, is less that I fear being made fun of, for believing there are 5 leprechauns living in my east walk-in closet...

Tim Printy shows that there are only really four (spurious) returns which seem to show excessive speed on the part of these presumed objects; the first two (otherwise isolated) returns would (if causally connected) indicate a speed of 2100 mph...

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...

@Gary C What: The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) has ratified updated protocols governing how scientists evaluate, verify, and announce evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. This policy concerns an official body making...

Yes, in any individual case. The weakness in the "you can't expect good pictures because people are surprised and need a moment to recover, think of their camera and pull it out" argument is that it has to work EVERY TIME. A similar argument...

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.

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...

Tim Printy's analysis of the Stephenville event and the MUFON report has been online for eighteen years, and yes, MUFON (or certain individuals associated with MUFON) have responded). Indeed, one individual from Texas MUFON was quite impressed...

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...

No indeed, I'm rather trying logic vs. the purely rethorical assertion you made: This assertion has exactly zero epistemological value, as demonstrated by the fact that you can change the subject at will to fairies, leprechauns, angels, demons...
