Ann K replied to the thread "The craters that never were: Anthropogenic origins of alleged impact structures in the Chiemgau region".Whenever the source of the counter-information gets attacked as a substitute for providing more rigorous evidence of a premise, I tend to suspect that the motivation of the authors has taken precedence over the facts. -

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... -

Chief Gleeby reacted to Smythe Bacchus's post in the thread NYT: What Is Out There? The Findings So Far of a Trump-Backed U.F.O. Panel. with
Agree.
Dr Loeb is just repeating the core frustration of the Big UFO movement. What they have historically and repeatedly presented as their “narrative” and supporting “evidence” is only convincing to those “who want to believe”. The LIZ makes it much... -
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...

Ann K reacted to Mauro's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with Like.
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...

Ann K reacted to Andreas's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with Like.
I agree that examples of rare events being photographed demonstrate that such events can be documented. But there's an important difference between showing that something is possible and establishing how probable it is. My point is that we're...

Ann K reacted to JMartJr's post in the thread Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs with Agree.

Ann K replied to the thread Balloons, how many are there?.I once found one in the Cuyahoga Valley close to Akron, and returned it to the class in Michigan where it had originated. There was almost nothing remaining of the balloon itself, but the tag had been written in permanent ink and was clearly...

Yes. I didn't mean to be pedantic or a PitA, but you brought a good topic, so it seemed like a good time to help you with how things get posted here. We all had to learn. It's a bit more complicated that something like Facebook or Reddit, but the...
