Was always funny to me that this case is brought up by UFO believers & serves as the finale to James Fox's The Phenomenon. These super advanced hippie/environmentalist aliens decide to communicate their ultra important message through a brief...

Nobody has a right to rebuttal. Especially if their work does not classify as science, since it lacks evidence underpinning the theories. You cannot publish a rebuttal to a kook in a reputable journal, so that has very little academic value to...

I think we should move this discussion to a different thread as it's pretty much irrelevant to the identification of these supposed UFOs. I'm aware of the witness's exact address (now). (I'm also aware that his house is not visible in any of his...

It's 3 guys. The American Physical Society, a professional organization for Physicist and related fields has 50,000 members: The American Physical Society (APS) is a not-for-profit membership organization of professionals in physics and related...

Classification vs Incentives If you under classify a piece of intelligence and it gets out, you could face anything from a reprimand to prison time. If you over classify a piece of intelligence, chances are you will retire before anyone notices...

Keep in mind a thermal camera is super different from an optical camera, because thermal wavelengths are much larger. The best sensors are still 640x480 — that's what these Reapers have. And the germanium lenses are big and heavy and crazy...

The particles sound similar to the "fireflies" seen by astronaut John Glenn during Mercury-Atlas 6 in February 1962, and later identified as ice crystals by astronaut Scott Carpenter during Mercury-Atlas 7 in May 1962. Mercury-Atlas 7...

We have long realized that no "disclosure" will satisfy the UFOlogy crowd unless it reinforces what they already think. No disclosure? Angry response: "They're hiding stuff from us!!!1! Disclosure? Angry response: "They're hiding the GOOD stuff...

We probably shouldn't discuss this further in this thread, as it's indeed a bit off-topic. But I'm honestly not so sure about the claim that "science isn't taking it seriously." Here in Sweden, you can study ufology at an academic level (and...

But that's exactly @Andreas ' point, isn't it? We have all those reports that were released to us in the last few weeks (that is, NOT "dragging this out") and instead of demonstrating transparency, the UFO crowd, angry at not having found any...

In English we call that "proving a negative", something that can't really be done. In various subjects like UFOs and the paranormal, those who make claim often use this rhetorical argument to shift the burden of proof from the claimant to the...
