All things change with time. Once upon a time talking about UFO's would get you laughed at, especially in government and academia, and ignored. But we may now be at a tipping point where some people are willing to take the chance. Some out of...

A "pivot point" feature certainly makes the illusion stronger, as in my previous post, where a hilltop antenna is the "pivot". But I have also seen a few "hanging planes" videos just in the sky with no obvious pivot feature. The one thing they...

To me it's when you use the bridge as the fixed point the plane just doesn't seem to go over the bridge, its because the pivot point is there that I think the illusion would be strong in person.

This is very much appreciated, just wish there were some more cases to get stuck into at the moment.

Historically, Sitrec was just updated whenever I added a bit of new code or fixed a bug. I'd just press some keys, and literally 60 seconds later it would be up and running on metabunk.org Over time, with the increased complexity, there was a...

When I first saw YT videos of this phenomenon, I thought, "parallax," and moved on. Interestingly, one time on the way to our Edinburgh office (train going eastbound), I saw a plane coming in (westbound) to EDI Airport. The angle had it above a...

I agree. It doesn't even look like the plane is "not moving". Simply comparing the relative positions of the plane and the overpass bridge from when you first see them together to the end of the clip shows that the plane is obviously moving...

And religion doesn't seem to ever go away.. Or the human need to feel special. And search for meaning in the face of mortality.

Yes, a thermal camera focuses radiation through a lens (or via mirrors) onto a sensor. There are various types of sensors, even for visible light. Older film and plate cameras relied on one of several photochemical effects. It's a camera. It...
