In the literature on hypnosis there's quite a lot about the myths of hypnosis. For example no induction procedure is required, it's not "sleep," and does not require the subject to have their eyes closed or be in a "trance". In fact there's no...

I think there's an important distinction between showing that certain interviewing practices are preferable and showing that the Ariel interviews are therefore unreliable. The protocol is designed primarily to maximize accurate recall from...

Just throwing this in here, since while "there is no body of water on that Calvine hillside" (The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/11/what-really-happened-in-calvine-the-mystery-behind-the-best-ufo-picture-ever-seen) might be...

I read quite a bit of the literature on interviewing children (which I cite here: https://revue.comitepara.be/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Scepticisme_Scientifique_12_2024_SI.pdf) and their reliability as eyewitnesses. Conclusions from other...

I never go to Reddit tbh... But I just tried and yes, it's translated. So it's Reddit doing the translation and I access Reddit automatically just by looking at the Metabunk thread, through the embedded link? Is this how it works?

Re. part 3 of The Mystorian's take on Ariel School, @25 mins 43 secs in, See Johnny [Mack] doesn't even know this fucking word and he's a doctor. Well I mean he has a doctorate, in psychology, and grifting. No, Mack was a doctor in the most...

I’m sorry to hear that; it sounds miserable. As I’ve gotten older I’ve inherited what my mother calls “panic attacks”. No fear or imagery, just waking up with profound feelings of loss and hopelessness. I think regular life and worries can...

I just don't know how you can argue with a recreation that shows the movements of satellites that match exactly the orbs you saw. I guess by just ignoring it

Too late! Source: https://x.com/GoodTroubleShow/status/2002490026593300908/history I sent a message to Bob, offering to explain the issue before he goes on the show. No need to be spreading misconceptions. The experiencers themselves didn't...

I added a Fisheye view. Camera/FOV/Fisheye https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/DAntonio%20all_sky%20streak/20260827_121840.js

This is what a fisheye lens can do with straight lines. I think it likely that a plane made ONE change in direction during the course of its flight (not unusual if lining up for a landing site), but the rest can be attributed to the lens.

Ok, that's bad luck. The way forward would be to raise your issue there. That should give you feedback on whether Xenforo has issues with screenreaders in general, or just that one. If it's just that one, then the developers of that screenreader...

Yes. Embedding content also embeds their code. Like when you have an embedded YouTube video.

what about the the fact that the recreation had foreground and background. No imaged you showed had that. Did that come from the poster? Did that come from Pope or aritst or production team? Did it stop at just the background being added with...

Yeah, this is actually quite funny, since we have no reason to believe this is the actual place where the photo(s) were taken. But, as with Nessie, Bigfoot, and the Jersey Devil, this is a great way for local entrepreneurs to lure more tourists...
