Interesting, it seems @Brian Dunning is saying the study/paper showing a positive correlation between detected transients and nuclear testing was based on just 9 transients?!: Out of more than 107,000 transients that had been detected in the...

Farther down "Moist_Cartographer" posts links to three YT shorts. These were uploaded on the same YT channel. I was thinking for a minute, "Hey, these are 3 different videos uploaded by the same witness, not three different witnesses." Then I...

Yeah I said “apparent” because we haven’t proved one so far. I think “instantaneous” is based on witnesses describing a completely stationary object in the sky appearing to go from 0 to a perceived speed without gradually doing so. Again, not...

@jarlrmai I agree that the airliner candidates dont seem to fit. I added some buildings to the stitch to try and get a better line of sight to the light, and after scrubbing the video back and forth I'm not sure that it even is a plane. It could...

"Instantaneous acceleration" is one of my bugbears. It's been used a lot in recent years by UFO enthusiasts to mean "suddenly appeared to move very fast", but never so fast that it couldn't be tracked by eye- if that were the case, the thing in...

In the past few days the US10144532B2 patent has cropped up in discussion in the Claims of Advanced Tech Recovered from UFOs thread, other patents made by Salvatore Pais have been briefly mentioned. The USN's Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft...

Spoiler -- where the thread with is located. It was a great thread, the witness was a very nice lady though I am saddened that she seemed determined to go find somebody to tell her it was something uncanny rather than understanding what she...

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...

If I were to see (or wrongfully perceive) a big metallic disc hovering above my head, I won't scream "aliens" but I wouldn't think "well, there's many birds I don't know". I'd rather think I had some kind of visual glitch caused by something else...

How would you know?

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...

What if it is too far away to see those details? I can tell some birds from behaviour at beyond visual ID range at least to genus and in the UK to species by elimination (we only have one Kestrel for instance) so if it's hovering it's a kestrel...

Interestingly I am a trained bird observer yet when I say things are gulls over on the Reddit UFO page no-one accepts my trained observer credentials..

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...

You seem to do that. If they ever get around to a DSM-6, you might be in there.
