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...

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've only recently discovered that might not be quite right. In post #7 @owntheissue linked to a video (my post #11 does as well) that I took to be a marketing effort by TTSA. It including shots of the main personalities sorting, cataloging and...

Oh, thank you, I understand a bit better. The TTSA claim, largely based on their belief in the claims of others, was that the material itself displayed mass reduction in some circumstances. It was claimed to be a meta-material, it came from an...

None of which matters if you cannot reliably differentiate between the credible and the non-credible, or the accurate and the inaccurate. If you can't do that (and we can't) then anecdotes are never going to be much use as evidence.

Yeah, I've talked a bit with Philip about this. I suggested he start a thread, but he never joined up. It's a nicer-looking UI. Sitrec does suffer from being over-complicated. I actually just started a push towards modernizing the UI today.

Most stuff concerning TTSA was smoke and mirrors. They were a UFO infotainment and technology company. They were always looking for investors and used a variety of techniques to attract them. One way was to employ what they considered...

I feel that this thread doesn't contain enough traditional bunk, and that needs to change: Source: https://twitter.com/nafoviking/status/2068727261340037170

No I actually meant that even if we were to assume 80% of witnesses are credible, some people might argue that a certain percentage of those “credible” witnesses are also accurate in their descriptions.

I just found this site, https://curiouspilot.com/ , which offers a similar toolset to sitrec - the simulation of Observable Satellites including starlink flares and the ability to put a camera onto a aircraft kml and reply the flight. The UI...

You seem to misunderstand the burden of proof. We skeptics are not the ones claiming there are anomalous cases that may turn out to be evidence of alien intrusion into earth's atmosphere. Those who make the claim must provide corroborating...

It's worth keeping in mind that people in government or in UFO research are, like the rest of us, people. And people are prone to do stuff that makes little sense to the observer . This is not a satisfying answer, our brains want stuff to have...
