I think the idea is, if a bird fooled you, you wouldn't know it. At least not when it fooled you, maybe something afterwards revealed it to be a bird, but if that didn't happen, you may have gone off fooled. That's the problem with so many UFO...

How would you know?

It is common for people--myself included--to misperceive things. Sometimes later circumstances strongly suggest to us that our previous perception was probably in error. But much of the time there is no "correction," and we never find out that...

Journalists, no matter how well they do their job, are seldom capable of understanding science and telling the real stuff from fake. Serious outlets like newspapers and television stations ideally should have contacts with a few experts in...

ProPixel is just Billy's photography business; it's just him doing standard photography (weddings, portraits, real estate, etc). It's nothing to do with video or photo forensics. Based on his X timeline, he seems to have got caught up in the NJ...

As Monkeesage pointed out in post #54, we did: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/us-navy-ufo-patent-by-salvatore-cezar-pais.12080/ Now we have two, I guess? ;)

Those video are videos of videos he took from a private facebook group, they are hosted on his YT channel as they are screen recordings from his phone. There's no time data nor geolocation possible for them to perform triangulation

Tentative scenario. Red: Substation Blue: "Moist _Cartographer" line of sight. Pink: The line of sight for the folks on Wood Street. A Mystery Light moved east along Fuller St. then reversed course and moved back west. Moist _Cartographer saw...

I don't see it going away. As Mr. @Baptiste Fr has made clear, there is a huge emphasis on witness testimony in UFO research, likely because that is the most compelling. There's a few questionable radar hits here and there, some claims of health...

Jeez I forgot to mention "living flying things" in my previous list! Edit: I think I'm a good bird observer, not trained. I can't recognize 5000 species, but if it has wings and feathers, I can point to it and say "bird!".

Exactly. We see this all the time. In criminal investigations, everyone who was at a specific location at a certain time must be interviewed, regardless of whether they believe they have anything important to say. This almost never happens when...

An issue seldom addressed is that this interview process will usually leave out witnesses who saw the same thing and interpreted it as "Oh look, an airplane" and forgot about it because it was not interesting

"Trained observers" is a problematic phrase, and we should probably avoid it. It's almost entirely a rhetorical device put forward by UFO enthusiasts. Some very small number of scientists might be a trained observer of their particular object of...
