I think we can all agree that even scientists can see UFOs or other unproven stuff. We cannot apply the trained or informed observer UFO principle because it has been shown to be very fallible. But I agree a bit with Todd here. If a random UFO...

The problem is, as has been pointed out many times here and elsewhere, things like sprites are eventually captured on camera. There's a thread on here all about rare things caught on camera. UFOs are seen, therefore its safe to assume they are...

I had not one but 3 "close encounters" with the classic "black triangle" ufos between 2007 and 2008. I don't want to go off-topic with the details of those here in this thread. I'm just trying to offer a bit of insight/speculation regarding your...

Hello, dear Metabunk community, Mr. West has kindly allowed me to present my case here. It concerns a video I recorded on May 13, 2026, at 9:47 p.m. over Radebeul. The video was recorded with an iPhone 16 Pro. The first part of the video was...

Adding to what others have said, I would not expect to necessarily hear a helicopter on a windy night. How sound propagates depends quite a bit on environmental factors. When I first saw this video, my initial thought was that it looks exactly as...

Lights in the sky must be either natural or artificial. Something in the air or near Earth with clearly visible, regularly strobing red and white lights is unlikely to be natural. Artificial lights in the sky come from many sources. All known...

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...

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...

"Clearly" may be overstated. I haven't noticed that.

@Fritzkquzerk It's not a matter of trusting AARO over UAPTF, it's just that one of the two groups came to certain conclusions without having sufficient evidence to support such conclusions, thus making it a case of bad science done on UAPs. I...
