I'm going to say that the connection to Flat Earth "gravity is fake" stuff, while tenuous at best, is sufficient to allow this to be posted:

Absolutely wonderful! :) I'd love for first contact to involve baby elephants visiting the United Nations and shaking trunks with all the world leaders. Perhaps that's the perfect plot for Disclosure Day II?!

Sheaffer ;) As the resident bad speller, especially with names, I couldn't help it. EDIT: It appears I also added a "c" to Mr. Sheaffer's name up-thread, before completely butchering it abain with some extra "rr" for some reason. EDIT 2...

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...

Some people have difficulties spelling, and names are rarely in autocorrect (and if they are, they can be wrong). I would not attribute any error to malice, unless the person persists in not correcting it if asked politely—and Schaeffer Scheaffer...

My bad! The red plate was time stamped 8:52:00 and the blue one was 9:45:00. I mistook the 8 for a 9. I think the point is, NBC was using red and blue plates from the same session to illustrate transients, both in the intro and in the b-roll...

Going back to the earth's shadow question, which I haven't really looked into since the data is rather opaque, doesn't that also assume something about the altitude of the supposed object? Granted these are all shots from the northern hemisphere...

When you get to geosynchronous orbit, the Earth's umbral shadow is very small, (about 2% of the sky) and I am not particularly surprised that there are random irregularities in the distribution of 'transients' that might appear to be significant...

Footfall is a 1985 science fiction novel by American writers Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. The book depicts the arrival of members of an alien species called the Fithp that have traveled to the Solar System from Alpha Centauri in a large...
