Whatever shows up, I'm sure someone will point a laser at it. No possible downsides.

I think the cases reflected in that thread are slightly different. Many of those are linked to an event that leads up to a photo/video or IP/Ring cameras that run 24h a day. The difference with a UAP is that there's no build-up to the thing...

EDIT: Cross posted with @John J. above, not trying to gang up on the same quote. 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 think some people, not necessarily alien believers, would conclude that some witnesses could be actually reliable. I think most skeptics think that if this were the case, these cases would not have been unidentified or anomalous in the first place.

But it isn't. You claimed, and agreed to the interpretation when pressed, that it was the difficulty of obtaining good evidence that explains why there is no good evidence. Mauro's now pressing you on the alternative explanation that there are in...

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...

Thread about the patent here, US Navy "UFO" patent by Salvatore Cezar Pais (also relevant post #41 by @FatPhil in the Meta Materials From UFOs thread). In that thread, @flarkey linked to The War Zone article "The Navy Finally Speaks Up About...

This is a bit of a tangent from the original discussion, but since so much of this thread has ended up revolving around eyewitness testimony, I think it's worth addressing. One point that keeps getting lost in these discussions is that honest...

IMHO, the statement: "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" while logically true is not the absolute "get out of jail free" card that many "believers" seem to think it is. For 80 plus years we've been hearing that any day now, we are...

It's literally the opposite of what my words mean... I don't discout that possibility, i litteraly do count that possibility as I said. I just think there are anomalous objects. Thats my opinion for now.

Would this apply to announcing that the next interstellar comet is a spaceship (like the last ones)? If so, I wish them luck getting compliance.

I suppose the difference comes down to SETI.org knowing it's membership while the requirement for becoming a fairy hunter is an internet connection. Maybe.
