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...

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...

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...

Yeah, but Sheaffer attributes the error to Villarroel (now spelled correctly), not NBC. I don't trust journalists to get everything right. That's why I always seek out the source, if possible. In this case, that would be the published papers...

Informative.
Actually, now that I'm watching the TV segment @Robert Sheaffer was blogging about, the guy is clearly comparing the red and blue plates from 7 minutes apart and claiming things are missing in the blue, though he doesn't seem to indicate there is... -

The continued misspelling of BV's name – is it a mistake or some sort of satirical mangling of her name? Neither really contributes to the seriousness of the piece.

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:

The Italian edition of online magazine Vice had an article "Gli 'X-Files fascisti' e la strana teoria del primo avvistamento Ufo in Italia", machine translated as "The 'Fascist X-Files' and the strange theory of the first UFO sighting in Italy"...

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...

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...

The set of documents sent to Bologna newspaper lIl Resto del Carlino seem to have been photocopies. I don't know if the documents sent to ufologist Roberto Pinotti were also photocopies, but if so it prevents age-testing of papers or ink that...
