Actually the explanation put forward by my colleague James Easton many years ago was that he saw pelicans, and it made good sense. So either Shermer mis-remembered what Easton said, or you mis-remembered what Shermer said.

Might not seem like such a scoop soon Source: https://x.com/matthew_pines/status/2072123763479417138/photo/1 Might just be a B21 though

Still excited but that's definitely something different, as that plane has the "flying wing" aka "flying Dorito" shape. But! It could still be something new. See this video I posted earlier, starting at 10:30. A flying Dorito was filmed about 6...

AKA 'airplane porn'. (I have some friends even nerdier than I am who crave this stuff.)

Well, no; that is just a supposition on his part. I expect that if Shermer had been in the cockpit with Arnold he would have probably reported the same subjective experience, or maybe one with a few minor differences; this is common for cases...

Obviously, it's impossible to tell exactly what Arnold saw. It could have been alien spacecraft, it could have been geese, or he could have made it all up. But what we do know is that there's no evidence of strange crescent-shaped craft flying...

In the USA most commercial pilots are not ex-military. After Vietnam larger percentage commercial airline pilots in the US were former military. With the post cold war draw down and massive retirements the percentage of airline pilots that are...

The null hypothesis is fine, and it’s the default hypothesis for anyone who takes this seriously. I just don’t get how you can be so certain that there are no cases at all worth looking at. That’s all I’m saying. I have no idea on what Arnold or...

If they're redefining terms to put their spin on a narrative, that's propaganda, and I feel we ought to call it out when we see it. Like, I know we're not controlling the narrative about the "UAP threat", but I'm still going to keep calling it...
