Agree.
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... -

No, that's not what "critical" necessarily implies in the field of academia. Common words can have subtly different meanings from their normal use. For example, most well known, "theories" quite often aren't just theories, and Hardy wasn't sorry...

Winner.
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... -

Informative.
I guess there might be a broad correlation between weather at the Mount Palomar Observatory and the former Nevada Test Site which is very roughly 410 km/ 255 miles to the NNE; tests there from 1951. (There were no tests in 1950 as far as I can... -

If we take into account the reflection hypothesis, it is difficult to say the exact location right away, if we focus on the airport and the river, and then on Bucharest, then the trajectory is this place, it was not there yet in the 2007 images... -
Z.W. Wolf 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..This is an out of focus sky lantern. A defocused aperture-shaped highlight. Not primarily a diffraction effect. The lantern is, more or less, a point source. The image is badly out of focus. The lens maps the light from a point source into a...

It's not the motor its the iris blades Looks like a plane in the sky, I am not sure how geo-locating it solves anything given how long ago it is there are no ADSB etc records. Looks like at the time the plane was beginning descent presumably to...
