AAndreas reacted to Ann K's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with
Agree.
There has never been demonstrated that "the" phenomenon has ever existed. To the contrary, all sorts of different phenomena have been reported, along with a collection of natural occurrences, hoaxes, dreams and hallucinations, and complete... -

Mauro replied to the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs.I agree. However it was just a long 'beep', a pulse rising and then falling, so not particularly promising as a communication, but more probably instead some (unknown to these days) glitch or natural phenomenon (up to astronomical proportions I... -
I recently revisited David hackney's work on the use of a camera camera obscura in art and the Tim Veeners documentary which lead me to "The Eye as an Instrument: TIM'S VERMEER". This talk was given by Dr. Tim Chupp a professor of the Department...

When I say "the perspective works", I mean that the composite scene could be modeled in reality to look like that. The composite image contains no "perspective errors" if we accept that the second road is more slanted and the second tower is more...

Jjdog posted the thread "The craters that never were: Anthropogenic origins of alleged impact structures in the Chiemgau region" in Science and Pseudoscience.An October 21, 2026 paper in Meteoritics and Planetary Science touches on some interesting bunk that had been presented as science at planetary science conferences and published in less-rigorous journals: Public fascination with impact craters...

Like.
This ^^^ is important and is what happens in the generally recognized scientific disciplines: The results from astronomy agree with those from geology The results from geology agree with those from chemistry The results from chemistry agree... -
Yyoshy reacted to JJB's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with Agree.
I've always liked the Wow! signal because it was genuinely intriguing, even though it was never repeated or conclusively explained. A repeating signal with a clear, structured pattern that strongly indicated technological origin would be...

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...

Kyle Ferriter reacted to jarlrmai's post in the thread Google Maps oddity for South Korea with
Informative.
Right clicking on google maps and selecting the lat long to put is something I do many times when investigating a sighting however I was looking into geolocating a sighting in South Korea when i went to grab lat and long it didn't work. It seems... -
MonkeeSage reacted to John J.'s post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with
Winner.
I think you might be right. Maybe it's not people identified as skeptics who need to be convinced but a consensus of relevant scientists. A single photo might not be convincing evidence in a context where quite a few such photos have been... -
JJB reacted to Mendel's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with Like.
I think it was ok to elevate it to that stage once; that happened 60 years ago. However, there's no point to doing it again when the evidence hasn't progressed much since then.

John J. reacted to yoshy's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with Agree.
Agreed. A single photo or even multiple photos of the same event likely wouldn't be sufficient. There would need to be sufficient supporting data that was independently verified. E.g. a radio signal that was captured by independent scientists...
