    Here's a higher-resolution recording. It's a great example of this type of thing. The spider silk is especially apparent towards the end, in the upper right, as it drifts over the camera and out of the illumination of the IR lights.

    Disagree with 1 Agree with 2 (any timeframe) 3 will depend on the timeframe, but multi-sensor platforms like AARO has been developing should be ready to deploy soon, and their LIZ might be something different than what we're used to 4 I expect...

    There is plenty of unambiguous evidence, but unfortunately its unambiguous evidence that everyone who's pushing for Disclosure who thinks they have good photo/video evidence is actually just terrible at video & photo analysis. - From Jay...

    Can you elaborate on this?

    I never thought they would release anything of substance; why would they?

    Regarding "disclosure" and the PURSUE project: I was a bit skeptical on the whole "scraping the bottom of the barrel" hypothesis, but the last tranche of UAP documents are all text and renderings, no videos, no photos, nothing. Of course we can't...

    And to add to this, I've seen many videos of "startling events" on the internet that not only capture the "startling event" but often show multiple other people filming the same "startling event" in the foreground. ... and satellites, mostly...

    Billions of people carry smartphones with them that can take high-resolution photographs and video, with sophisticated autofocus, image stabilisation, low-light capabilities and, on some models, powerful zoom. Compared with the consumer...

    This, frankly, is why I boycott every party I'm invited to. That, plus I just don't like spending time with people unnecessarily.

    Mylar-type balloons end up as litter. But latex balloons disintegrate (AI tells me six months to four years for complete disintegration). Our local balloon fiasco (latex balloons) pointed out some of the problems with mass balloon releases...

    Because congress members are in a sort of perpetual campaign to be seen and to be perceived as doing something useful. If a part of their voters are into UFOlogy (or they themselves are) then this sort of thing happens. It would be a mistake to...

    Please forgive my source impropriety. I had multiple sources which do not agree, and took the lower counts and estimates as conservatively as I could. There are multiple discussions on the impact of helium shortages impacting volumes. IN...

    That's a start my friend. But this post would violate what we call the "No Click" policy. As explained in the Posting Guidelines: Posting source links to back up statements is a must on Metabunk. Statements made without a linked source, and...

    I'm seeing estimates that on the order of 21 million party balloons are sold and possibly released each day globally. Around 5 million each day in the U.S. The flight time depends on many factors, but flight time can range from an hour to...
