This is a two edged sword, though. We can't have human visual perception be so unreliable that just walking to the supermarket would be an impossible task. Humans generally rely on the accuracy of their visual experience. To drive a car I have...
I've long thought that this somewhat oversimplifies things. Just because your brain can and does actively arrange three points into triangles, it doesn't do it 100 percent of the time with every set of three dots it encounters. I think the...
This is a duck....it looks like a duck..and quacks like one...lets call it a duck.
Actually I think the inference with hot air balloons is the other way round to what you suggest. You don't see a 'balloon' and then infer that it is...
One has to consider the context. I was leaving home for work at around 7.20am....20 minutes or so before sunrise...and immediately on stepping outside I spotted this very striking object due south and 40 degrees or so elevation. It was the only...
This isn't a fair comparison, though — we're talking about the phenomenology of three lights in the sky, not 3 carefully arranged Pac-Men accompanied by 3 carefully arranged V's.
You think I don't feel dejected too when I constantly see people posting bugs, birds and balloons? If we focus on those examples of people with poor observational skills, and draw conclusions based on those, natually we'll conclude they're all...
Again, this is making a sweeping generalization. that there's an inability in all individuals to accurately communicate their observations. While the majority of observers may exhibit poor observational skills, it does not imply that all...
Thank you! I appreciate this response very much. I assumed you were stressed on your drive since you mentioned your father was being treated for cancer. That sort of stress would absolutely permeate every aspect of my life subconsciously (my...
I'm always mindful, despite my current skepticism of UFOs, that one of the MOD files on UFOs is my own report from January 31st 1977 ( which I cannot seem to track down ). To this day, I have never found a satisfactory explanation for it.....a...
A few years ago the Weird Reads with Emily Louise youtube channel did a 2.5 hour deep dive on the history of Alternative 3 and it's impacts on modern UFOlogy lore, from Bill Cooper up through modern people like Michael Salla, Corey Goode and and...
I had to look up "photogram".
