Reply is here maybe?: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.15171 We respond to the critique by Watters et al. (2026) of the statistical analyses in Villarroel et al. (2025) and Bruehl & Villarroel (2025). We argue that the critique conflates... -

As "skeptical" in our context would not mean thinking every claim is false, .but instead that we'd like to see the evidence and where it leads...

I realise the prepublication release of the Watters et. al. critique of the 2025 VASCO research papers has already been cited on Metabunk. This article provides an update and brings it all together. A study claimed UFOs orbited Earth in the...

I think the exact location is 33.80139002637953, -112.76146305453676 - the wooden extension is to support the observatory roof when it is open. Note that the observatory has moved from this location recently.

NorCal Dave replied to the thread We need OSINT specialists to identify the location of a UFO sighting filmed from a Tripoli-Kyiv flight in March 2007..I'm not sure much can be done with this, as it's nearly 20 years old. Even if one wanted to try and replicate it, how? These old cameras can be found for $50-$150 here in the US. While this particular model was introduced in 2005, the underlying... -

Mauro reacted to yoshy's post in the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey with Like.
Mentioning the Higgs Boson feels like a false analogy fallacy (or perhaps there's a more accurate fallacy). It just feels like they are using the Higgs to lend credibility to their completely unrelated analysis. The response was 7 pages compared... -

I did yet another analysis, this time about the differences of two full plate scans: IRSA (the ones I'm using) and STScI (the ones suggested by Villarroel). See...

This appears to be their critique of Watters relevant to the nuke paper in the OP: The next issue concerns the temporal correlations with nuclear weapon tests and UAP in Bruehl & Villarroel (2025). The critique by Watters et al. (2026) (Section...
