Oh, he's done that on camera as well, usually at female reporters, who often are the ones he dislikes the most. Here's one from last week (video in article). Unhinged Trump Lunges at Female Reporter Over Embarrassing Question Updated Fri...

I had never really taken a close look at the 1967 PG film before. Sure, I'd seen it numerous times, but I'd never bothered to properly analyze what I was looking at. (Frankly, I've never been that interested in Bigfoot.) As a result, my...

Thanks! That's really helpful. Looking at your pictures, I'm no longer convinced that we can say for sure the video was shot in autumn. To me, it would make much more sense if it was shot during the summer of 1967. We know Patterson was shooting...

I don't know if you've read through the whole thread, it's only 15 pages ;), but a member named jamesrav was the person most arguing the PGF could NOT be a hoax, for a variety of reasons, but the walk was a primary one. He relied primarily on...

Oh, no! No-one told me the *illusions* would be *misleading* - thanks for warning me, I shall now ignore this thread forthwith.

This may be useful when witnesses see a UFO "the size of a football field" again, demonstrating that our perception of size depends on our perception of distance,

I googled "human proportions for artists", and this is only one of many diagrams, all of them quite similar in proportions. But this, of course, is an "average proportion" sketch, and your mileage may vary. FYI, I'm about 5'1", and my hands come...

I checked you assertion that the arms in the above picture are not unnaturally long. In the picture the fists of the creature look to reach a little below the hip. Checking with a normotypical H. sapiens sapiens (myself), the fists extend...

Fermi was rather famous for having a knack in finding approximate solutions with few data. Iirc he calculated the yield of the first atomic bomb by dropping pieces of paper and seeing how they moved when the shock wave came (not that I checked...

Oh, and let’s add The Twilight Zone:Nightmare at 20,000ft to that list

Let's have someone (with better Photoshopping or AI skills than I), do a similar one, but using fraudster Charles Ponzi instead of a car: A Ponzi Ponzo!

Yeah, I guess so. I'm not articulating my feelings about the picture very well. It illustrates the Ponzi illusion, but as a facsimile of a real-world scene it isn't believable (although not physically impossible- different scale models of an...

That's the point, isn't it? We have 3 identical 2D cars; the exact same size, as your yellow lines show. Now depending on whether we think the car is close or far away, the car appears to be small or big. Some UFO that appears to be big and far...
