John J. replied to the thread Avi Loeb announced to lead new "UAP Science Advisory Council" for White House.Aliens. Extraterrestrials. Extraterrestrial (or alien) beings/ creatures/ organisms. Pretty much anything whose meaning is clear in the context, but which doesn't reward (e.g.) Grusch, or his confidantes, for making up new science-y terms without... -

Read something I found a bit interesting. Yesterday, Avi Loeb wrote about the latest batch of UAP files released, calling them "the Most Intriguing Release Thus Far." Hm, intriguing is probably not the word I would use, but that's not something...

The whole "transients correlate with nuclear tests and UAP sightings" debacle leaves me less inclined to interpret her other claims charitably.

Yup aliens can be as advanced or as limited as you need them to be to fit your theory.

Winner.
Presumably they think that any civilisation that has the ability to put objects in geosynchronous orbit around Earth would have such advanced technology that they can monitor us from a distance. But then that poses the question as to why they... -
Scaramanga replied to the thread Reddit - Strange glowing orb. No sound, emitting a bright glow. NOT a spotlight. NOT a helicopter..True....but its not automatically obvious that the object would be reflected in the car roof, especially given how low the angle is and how small an area of the image it is. Maybe I'm just un-observant...but I don't think I have ever seen Venus... -

Agreed, I'm surprised Shermer quoted this but didn't challenge it. Strongly agree. We need to understand what claimants and UFO enthusiasts mean, but that doesn't mean we should adopt examples of pseudoscientific jargon. As mentioned in other... -
JMartJr reacted to Scaramanga's post in the thread Calvine UFO Photo - Reflection In Water Hypothesis with
Agree.
Its hard to see how the object can have been accidentally presented as being in the sky. It either was genuinely in the sky or it wasn't. I haven't heard any rendition of the story where the photographer goes to the papers and says ' We... -

Informative.
Villarroel recently posted this in a Swedish Facebook group, commenting on a post in which someone suggested that the UFO community follow Mick West and Metabunk for a more nuanced approach. Translated to English: "The scientific method is not... -

Maybe not, but will Busko say that publicly on X, directly challenging Villarreol?

Funny, I just finished a show on this. Damn it was a lot of research, and I got to talk to the folks at the secure archives where the original glass plates are stored. Super crazy fun research project. I found early on that there was no point...

Villarroel on X: Source: https://x.com/DrBeaVillarroel/status/2064285561653727309 PhD astronomer and former NASA engineer Ivo Busko has single-handedly driven a final nail into the coffin of the contamination-based hypotheses (e.g. plate...

Another recent arXiv that seems worth adding to the pile is @Ivo Busko Fast Astronomical Transients in Archival Photographic Plates: Using optical aberrations as a tool for discerning real images, from plate artifacts. Source...

Scaramanga replied to the thread Reddit - Strange glowing orb. No sound, emitting a bright glow. NOT a spotlight. NOT a helicopter..As Ann K pointed out, at about 40 seconds. Its the car next to a building. I didn't notice it until the third or fourth playing of the clip. Just a little detail that to my mind confirms its a genuine video....though with AI these days you can...
