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...

Just to point out something I noticed that might aid future readers of this thread when looking at something similar... The brightness of the mystery light fluctuates as it passes across the clouds, getting brighter where the clouds are thinner...

You provided all the information that was needed for a swift identification, all is good. OK, Mick and flarkey are absolute wizards at this, but still, sometimes it has to go via a shortlist before they find a positive ID. To be honest, you made...

Well, you have cited the proper legislation, let's look at it: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.225 14 CFR § 91.225 - Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment and use. [...] (f) Except as prohibited in paragraph...

I am willing to believe that, but have never noticed it nor heard it mentioned -- is this based on personal knowledge of helicopters, or can you share a source? NOT disbelieving you, it's just that if I am going to explain this to somebody...

David Chandler has created a video for AE911Truth that, he claims, contains evidence for the sound of explosions at the WTC7. Here is the video, hosted by ae911truth: Skip the first 2 minutes with some other truther claims (Sunder; McPadden...

At this price you could hire a freelance developer with a few years of experience for about a week (or longer for an in-house developer) which seems enough to code this at a glance. So neither good nor bad deal cost wise.

And here I hoped I could get away with being lazy. :p https://www.mdpi.com/2226-4310/12/10/903 Acoustic Experiments for Special Forces Helicopter Operations W. F. J. Olsman Aerospace 2025, 12(10), 903; https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace12100903...

So, if I'm reading this right, it would have cost someone around $3500 to use the AI coding bots to help write this noise detection "plug in" ( I don't know what else to call it) for Sitrec? And that's with an experienced manager running the...

Please call it a strobe. I don't think the analysis that led you to make this determination is detailed enough to be reliable. And likewise here; a phone microphone typically dampens the low frequencies that would carry the best in humid night...

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...

Without any context of the video, this describes a helicopter or light civil airplane. The expectation that one would hear an aircraft in these environmental conditions can cause a perceptive disconnect. I went back and listened and I do hear...

This isn't quite right. ADS-B Out is required in certain airspace as defined by 14 CFR 91.225. Mainly, it's your larger airports (Class B and C, including a 30 NM "veil" for Class B airports). And yes, for anti-smash, you get it. To others...

Don't be sorry, your observation report was excellent.
