The only thing I consider a bit controversial, or silly, or whatever, is some of the statements made by AARO directors, not just Kirkpatrick but also others like Kosloski, regarding "truly anomalous" signatures. However, nobody within AARO has...

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...

Hi, I'm Francisco, from Spain. I've compared the La Pava photographs shared earlier in this thread. After correcting perspective and aligning marks in the cement, I don't find the whole face moving across the surface. Video: Did La Pava really...

Checked. You're right on the parts that can be verified, with two corrections and two additions. Confirmed: SHAP really is computed on one model of four - shap.TreeExplainer(models['rf']) at pipeline_train.py:135 and pipeline_score.py:40,44...

Separately, on the "Recommendations for future replication efforts" that the challenge points entrants to. I've tried to follow this path for a while now, so here's what someone attempting it actually hits. Where do you start? The advice is to...

Thanks, but I'll pass, and for a reason that has nothing to do with the rules: I've never taken money or donations for any of this and I'd rather keep it that way. Anything with a prize attached creates a conflict of interest or the appearance of...

AFAIK there is no evidence that it was "released not long after the plane disappearing". The description of the original YouTube video was written to give that impression ("Received 12 March 2014") but you can type anything you like in there...

When I've seen the question of "how long would it take to cgi the video" it was going with the claim that the video was released not long after the plane disappearing, so the argument is that the video has to be ready fast, not that nobody would...

I don't doubt that all. However, if someone was interested in creating this video the time and cost may not matter much. The cost would be tied up in the computer as they weren't spending money on AI tokens back then. As for time, if someone is...

Also Shattered by The Rolling Stones.

If it is a helicopter the green position light would be on the right (furthest) side of the fuselage and we would not see it (post #55) if we are viewing the port (left) side of the (probable) aircraft, which I think we are. If it is a fixed-wing...

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...

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...

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...

Couldn't the sounds at aprox 13secs be an aircraft? Its been mention that military aircraft may not appear on flight tracking data. Lakehurst is base is approx. 30km away and Saturday activity may be unlikely but it maybe an error to rule...
