Mick West replied to the thread Seaside Heights, Ocean County, New Jersey - Claimied drone sighting weekend 11th - 12th January 2025.It looks more like 90 blinks per minute to me, about 1.5 hz The video has a variable frame rate, which can lead to some software, including Sitrec, which I'm fixing, playing back some segments at the wrong rate. And the light layout seemed a... -

Almost any serious study group on UFOs, even civilian ones, usually come to the conclusion that 95/98% are prosaically explainable, whereas the 5/2% remains unexplained due to lack of data or lack of determinant data. Quite a difference from what... -
Gary C reacted to NorCal Dave's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with
Agree.
Yeah, I used to drag around a small mediocre Panasonic Micro 4 thirds with a couple of lenses. Then in 2022 I was out at Burningman in all the dust and heat, so I just left it in the trailer and pulled out my iPhone 13(?). I managed to record... -

Winner.
tldr; the model is just a prediction of BV's opinion. "BV in, BV out" The current study addresses several limitations of our prior work. Arguments that all transients are platedefects12,13 have been addressed by developing and validating an ML... -

Some more thoughts/questions on the ML paper. Figure 2 shows the SHAP values (Shapley values) from their model. SHAP values are used to quantify the contribution from a feature to the prediction, similar to the betas in a linear regression or GLM...

"Based on criteria below". I kept scrolling and never actually found the criteria lol. I did find it on their other page Lost Light Project Criteria Transient searches should be based on pairs of images of the same field obtained during a single...

Like.
I'm reminded of the various "it only matters who counts the votes"-related quotes. Who are the judges? [* Quote Investigator has an interesting and fully-referenced deep dive into those here, there are more than you might expect, almost all... -

Wow.
Project Lost Light invites professional scientists, citizen scientists, and students from around the world to participate in a challenge to replicate -- or challenge -- pre-Sputnik transient studies using historical (pre-Sputnik) photographic... -
I don't agree that that's an "error". It's the explanation for the illusion. Our brains are trying to apply a single vanishing point to two side-by-side objects that have different vanishing points. And that is why we see the lines as being...

I made another variant on the illusion idea some time ago. It is drawn a little messy, but here you go. It looks like it has spirals, but there are none. -
Ravi replied to the thread The "Disclosure President"?.I doubt you do not understand. It is clear Stratton is a True Believer and rejecting obvious explanations is an asset. -

Ravi replied to the thread Optical illusions.Just a small remark from my side. With my contribution of my drawings, I did not intend to claim they are the same kind of illusion/effect. In my drawings it is an illusion caused by contrasting shapes etc. There is technically an explanation...

But you both used the term that I quoted - "the perspective", a definite article and a singular noun phrase - which implies there is a single perspective (one of you saying it "does work" and the other saying it "doesn't work"), which I consider...
