Agree.
Just me, but I would think there's a number of reasons. One group already, for various reasons, believe in alien visitation, so anything perceived as unusual, is seen as confirmation. Betty Hill famously in later years would comment on all kinds... -

UFO Redditors =/= credible stories

Like.
A large number of Reddit UFOs sighting reports are from people who WANT to have seen a UFO (in the sense of an alien spaceship) the language they use, the way they equivocate when the explanation is presented with painstaking detail, the way they... -
NorCal Dave replied to the thread Nimitz Timeline Revisited.In addition to what @flarkey posted above, it may be that sometimes "Nimitz" gets used as a catchall for the whole event. It's often collectively known as the Nimitz case or sometimes the "TicTac" case, so it's possible that IF Kirkpatrick was... -
I have two questions... The first is the narrative that the SPY-1 picked up objects at 80,000' and that these objects went to the surface. Is it mere coincidence that W-291 (the warning area where this occurred) goes from the surface to 80,000...

Mechanik reacted to Z.W. Wolf's post in the thread Sir Francis Chichester's "Flying Saucer" 1931 with Agree.
It immediately struck me that this seems like an atmospheric optical phenomenon. But I think there's a better candidate than a subsun. First, which way was he heading? And where was the Sun? Wikipedia... -
Giddierone replied to the thread Sir Francis Chichester's "Flying Saucer" 1931.Here's the earliest version of the story from Chichester's book Seaplane Solo, published in 1934. He described his route from NZ to AUS as a "rainbow curve" with stops at Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. ...Always, I flew on west; I had always... -
Ann K reacted to JMartJr's post in the thread Sir Francis Chichester's "Flying Saucer" 1931 with Like.
My layman's take-away to this point... Therer seem to be several possible mundane-if-unusual things that Chichester might have seen. It may be possible to identify which particular one it was, or it may not. However, several ordinary... -

Ann K reacted to Smythe Bacchus's post in the thread Major UFO experiences are specific to the observer with Like.
The common theme with "experiencers" is poor or zero effort to use date, time, location, and direction to objectively try and identify what they saw. It is replaced by a mental leap into "I know what I saw was not natural or human" territory...

MMapperGuy reacted to JMartJr's post in the thread Major UFO experiences are specific to the observer with Agree.
We probably need to be aware, though, that after a call went out to send on your strange videos this may have changed a bit. This encourages a subtle sort of hoaxing, or at least something that is hoax-adjacent -- that is, it incentivized...

MMapperGuy replied to the thread Major UFO experiences are specific to the observer.When you ask for 'odd looking things' you should expect to receive at least a few videos that the sender knows exactly what it is, but is not telling you what it is. "Can you figure out what this is???" challenge puzzles, to be solved by the...

NorCal Dave reacted to Fritzkquzerk's post in the thread Major UFO experiences are specific to the observer with Agree.
What I meant is that reading random reports on Reddit is practically useless. The government videos are most likely all prosaic but at least there's something to analyze, sometimes. And generally we don't expect official military videos to be...
