What we shouldn't forget is the hard won methodological lessons learned.
I would say the current UFOlogy culture thing is just another turn of the vinyl LP with one circular groove. It just goes 'round and 'round. On this turn there is less rigor.
Totally agree. I'm so disgusted by sick and troubled people being exploited and used as pawns. It's fine with me if someone wants to speculate about alien visitations and space ghosts. But personal tragedies shouldn't be exploited like this. And...
Yesterday, Beatriz Villarroel commented on the disappearance of McCasland and others in an article in the Swedish newspaper Expressen. She said (my translation)...
I'll raise a question based on that which I do not know how to answer, (but perhaps somebody else here does), preceded by a little background info about mantis shrimp, which I promise will be relevant!

At some point you'd think people would have learned not to take Elizondo's claims at face value. We've heard "overwhelming" evidence and extraordinary stories from him before, only for the actual evidence to remain unavailable, unexplained or far...
I'd advise caution when using wind data and how wind might have impacted an object within a few hundred feet of the ground (or of the tallest up-wind obstruction) unless you are dealing with wind coming over a wide expanse of water or an open...
I'd be a little cautious of relying on Open-Meteo Historical Forecast results. While they might be a good general indicator of weather conditions, as far as I know they're modelled on weather data from other sources. Major meteorological...
Method note / disclaimer. I do not have professional experience in meteorology or wind-trajectory modelling. This is a highly compressed summary of the checks I have carried out using the supplied Open-Meteo model output and simple passive-drift...

I checked the Open-Meteo Historical Forecast data for the sighting location (52.595371, -2.197843) at about 21:00 UTC / 22:00 BST on 23 August 2026. This is modelled historical forecast data, so I would only treat it as a...

no, no, no, yes, don't know, no
3 is a straight "no" because we do not have any better evidence than the Navy videos leaked in 2017.
4 is a straight "yes" because of Congress taking action, and survey numbers concerning belief in UFOs.
It's not...
I was looking for the location of the same landmark, checking every plausible spot that could be seen from the presumed flight track in the next few minutes after the last identified landmark in my previous post. I have come across the above spot...
A little update. As I mentioned earlier, Andrew Robinson asked for an experiment that would produce six sequential negatives showing a jet passing over the scene while a UFO hovers stationary just above it.
Yesterday, I did my best to recreate...
