John J. replied to the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey.I suppose the telescope had some form of tracking to keep it aligned on the chosen area. Have no idea about the process of changing plates, but 7 minutes might not be a problem. If the exposure and collecting of each plate pair (1872 plates, 936... -

Certainly other sources should be consulted. If the transients are seen by one telescope they could have been seen by others. One of the hallmarks that always gives me pause is when one source is examined, the "right" result is found, and further... -

That is only needed to confirm specific transients. Finding transients within another telescope imagery independently of Palomar plates would already be a step in the good direction.

Agree.
My point stands. -

Disagree.
No, because we understand the physics of how things behave in our atmosphere, for example. I'm not talking about "how could an alien civilization break the laws of physics at home", because that's not something we have any way of knowing -... -
Ann K reacted to Andreas's post in the thread Claim: A UFO crashed in 1933 Italy and the US Recovered it with Agree.
Personally, I find the word "impossible" largely irrelevant. I can make up a story about a strange exoplanet inhabited by elephant-like creatures with a technologically advanced civilization and argue that it's not impossible for such a... -

I have noticed that I have consistently made the etymologically-curious (though I am not a language scholar) single 'r' spelling mistake multiple times. I now genuinely feel bad about that, given how pedantically correct I have tried to be with... -
Eburacum replied to the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey.Something doesn't add up there. These plates were 50 minute exposures. How could they be seven minutes apart? If there was a seven minute gap between exposures, the total time involved would be 107 minutes. -

The politeness of spelling someone's name correctly is of substance.

What are the odds this Tom Dongo fella has an interest in promoting Sedona as a UFO hotspot? Let's see. Yepper. It seems he has a series of books about aliens and Sedona: Looks like he had his own website of some sort, though the domain is... -
