The photo looks quite blurry. I wonder if the 'blurry air' is a simple example of confabulation between what the pilot saw at the time and what they may have seen later when looking at the photos.
I am fairly sure this happens a lot in witness...
I have read the Mufon report, several years ago. The lack of videos and photos is suggestive, and it could easily be just another flight of terrestrial jets flying over an unsuspecting town.
Here's Tim Printy with another detailed analysis...
If the 8:00 phenomenon was caused by a flight of separate aircraft, (as seems likely) then the wide range of estimates of angular size could be caused by at least two factors.
1/ the witness may not have seen, or noticed, all the different...
Naturally occurring meteors don't enter the atmosphere at less than 11km/s, because they are attracted by the Earth's gravity as they approach so are falling at that speed (at least) when they hit the top of the atmosphere.
Some re-entering...
I dont like people pushing drugs on Metabunk. Not medical drugs, or alternative drugs.
I've done enough psychedelics in my day, and been around enough peers, to know not everyone can handle them (that's why the psychiatrists keep saying "under...
Not at all! However, the idea that the sound of a previous meteor might be confused with the sound of the current meteor only really works in meteor showers, and since meteors arrive at random intervals, even this explanation doesn't work very...
Concerning the 'sound' of a bolide or meteor; most meteors or bolides are tens of kilometres away from the observer. Any sound from the meteor itself will arrive many seconds after the meteor is visible; if you hear a sound when the meteor is...
As "Air 2" never saw an object, we can just say "light". Also, in the audio, "Air 2" pilot is more specific than "near", he said:
[00:52:41.04 -->00:52:50.04] So, if you're a celestial geek, my partner is saying the middle star of Orion's belt...
I should point out that oxygen also glows green at high altitude when excited; that is why many auroras have a green tint (the green and the red glows from aurora are both caused by excitation of oxygen).
I have seen a 'green' aurora, but the...
Scott Bray, Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, confirmed it was just bokeh during a congress hearing on "UAP" - May 17, 2022.
The night time video of the triangle-shaped objects flying over the USS Russell was shot in 2019 in the Pacific and...
Hmm. I'm not so sure. Betelgeuse was directly above Orion's Belt in a vertical direction, and high enough that the twinkling would have been a relatively minor effect. Betelgeuse is one of the widest stars in the sky, so it tends to display less...
Mars has a broad spectrum, and includes a lot of green and blue light in its reflectance. One interesting characteristic is that Mars doesn't blink or twinkle, whereas Betelgeuse and Sirius both do. From Arizona, Betelgeuse was almost directly...
Yeah. The first part of the sighting might have been a real drone; someone said they saw a quadcopter. But the chase segment might easily be a celestial object, or maybe several.
