    That's probably because Trump paints himself as an anti-establishment president, tantalizing conspiracy theorists with the idea that he might expose secrets of deep-state powers. So that can include UFOs, Kennedy, anything really.

    From what I have read there seems to be 2 ways to look at it 1. People may think Trump is unpredictable, different and somewhat narcissistic so "maybe there's a chance he blabs about aliens" because "Biden wouldn't" or something. 2. An effort...

    Here's another example I just saw on Twitter X. It's two different photos, but the camera is in the same position (you can see that by pasting one over the other). Stacking them one above the other gives the illusion. (edit, here's the...

    I was thinking about what level of perspective cues are needed to maintain the illusion. Here I just traced two of the lines on the side by side images. With the background, the illusion is there - the purple line in the road looks more slanted...

    We can infer that the aliens have a 5-based number system as well. :cool:

    I think that's pretty much what I said, isn't it? It's certainly what I meant to say. Our brains are comparing the lines in the right photo with the vanishing point in the left photo, which makes them appear to be angled. As I labelled here...

    Same. It's a very powerful illusion, but even when I look at it and understand why I am seeing it, I can't stop seeing it. The source of the illusion, of course, is that our brain knows that the lines of the kerb and paving are meant to be...

    There is actually a second alleged video of the same object. I can't find any reference to it other than in this guy's commentary on Youtube....at this spot... Source: https://youtu.be/001yx19AymM?t=48

    What I see is the road in the leftmost picure is a little inclined to the left, in the second picture it starts leaning to the right, and leans more to the right in each following picture. And I can't avoid seeing it that way,

    I was thinking the “full” cup was still sealed. And I ran across this: Source: https://x.com/NgReddot/status/2106351836865388874

    The cup of water is a nothing burger. The footage in the Sky News video posted by @Matt33 (post #13) looks like it was the source of the still in the OP. It appears to have been filmed after the incident in the cockpit, and while the plane was...

    Yes, the logic is backwards. Loss of cabin pressure triggers the oxygen masks (automatic) and a rapid descent (via the pilots), but a rapid descent does not trigger loss of cabin pressure or the oxygen masks. What we can deduce is this: because...
  • Gary C
    Another issue. I think there's a good chance that these are frame captures from a video taken well after the incident. I haven't found that video but this is a similar one. (Can't embed video directly.) Some of the shots appear to have been...
