"Precision" is perhaps a bit much, maybe "apparently precise", as really what it is is lucky, or really just "apparently lucky." It's quite a popular genre. So certainly could be used as an educational tool - like, there's tens of thousands of flights every day, eventually one of them is going...

There's no rights issues any more than someone copying a post they made here and posting it elsewhere. A planned feature is to export all the files need to your local drive. https://github.com/MickWest/sitrec/issues/26 For sharing across installs, it would be useful to be able to export the...

I cannot. Giving any information about who they are or are not would be like 20 questions, allowing people to narrow in on who it might be (and probably get it wrong).

It's all open source. It's on GitHub, meaning anyone can download it. I don't own it. They don't own it. "Sitch" is short for "situation", as in "Situation Recreation" (Sitrec)

I keep getting questions about if I get paid. I didn't want to have to craft convoluted answers, so I thought it best to explain what the situation is. I'm in favor of full transparency, but the org wants to be anonymous. I asked them what I could say.

Should all be fixed now. As of version 1.2.2

Me too, but unfortunately that's up to them.

I posted the following on Twitter this morning. For the past five months, I’ve been working with an organization to add functionality, increase usability, and improve the documentation of my UAP/UFO analysis tool, Sitrec. Part of this process included making Sitrec open-source so that anyone...

Sorry about the slow speed, that's something that needs work. I'm spoiled with gigabit internet at home. Missing parameters ... darn! Looks like I broke something. I'm a bit busy today but will try to get this fixed ASAP. People can report bugs here, with a GitHub account. I've added that one...

I've not tested this with the Night Sky / Starlink sitch yet, and I don't think it will save the current TLE correctly, so keep using the "Permalink" button for that for now.

If you are logged into Metabunk, you'll get a new button "SAVE MOD". This will give a URL that will have (hopefully) all the changes you made to a sitch. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?mod=https://sitrec.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1/chilean_mod-3047f5ed74aba8db4036d31c28b3a629.js (I might...

And in that episode he said it was a bird, which was impossible based on the wing speed.

They showed both a photo of the monitor and what looked like a crop of the actual image. Ideally they would release original data for everything. I've been asking Brandon do this for years. But he seems convinced I'm some kind of enemy agent or something.

I'm not sure, it's hard to wrap you head around exactly what is happening at the pixel level. I think maybe it would be slanted (which is obviously isn't)

Probably an empty evaporation pond for a mine e.g. https://flsi.us/portfolio-items/solar-evaporation-pond/
