Interesting; I'd go with atmospheric phenomenon on that one, too. He mentions seeing a flying saucer before they were commonly reported. As far as I know, the oldest account I know of, without dubious stuff from earlier is the Sternenschiff...

https://atoptics.co.uk/blog/perfect-lower-tangent-arc-opod/ Another example. But this time it's a video. The explanation from the physicist is wrong. This is not caused by reflection off the exterior surface of flat hexagonal crystals...

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...

Aviator (and sailor) Sir Francis Chichester described seeing a "flying saucer" while flying from New Zealand to Australia over the Tasman Sea in 1931. The main part of his sighting is described in his book The Lonely Sea and the Sky, 1964. (it's...

The classic cause and effect error. Disappearance equals tremendous acceleration.

Yes, I’ve run into old friends at museums across the country for the same reasons.

There are some great posts on Metabunk explaining how the Raytheon MTS systems work (OSD, FOVs, tracking modes and other settings etc.) but they are scattered through different threads. It’s not always easy to search for them when you are having...

The number of people who participate in high-adventure excursions to exotic places is limited, compared with the population as a whole. The number of people going to what you describe as a limited-access island because of a particular interest is...

The nature of LSD hallucinations is that they are always shifting, and are atmospheric. You can have a psychological issue, but folks just don't meet entities as solid object-constant visions. I've heard some other drugs do. This is exactly...

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...

I suppose it depends! I've been on a bunch of forums, and no one wants to interview me. My career involved providing good information to people. I think my first case, with corroboration, is actually pretty good, and one of the more interesting...

oh yes, entirely agree, apologies if i was unclear, if i was forced at gunpoint to bet on it, my money would be on the new radar doing weird stuff theory

I would be cautious of Loeb's claim. How would Loeb know this? Loeb has made other claims, more closely associated with his professional field, that are unlikely to be correct. As we've seen elsewhere, patents have been granted for things that...

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...

I wouldn't discount misinterpretation and memory as possibly more likely than full "hallucinations". Sometimes we see something and aren't sure what we saw, then our memory further complicates the situation. Case in point, Tuesday morning's walk...
