    Can You Validate Earth's Curvature with a Drone?

    I think it would be difficult to keep the drone centred in the theodolite. It would be easy to have it maintain a fixed altitude above the sea, but that would of course result in it dropping below the crosshairs as it went away. You'd need some pretty skillful flying.

    How To Make Starlite - The Miracle Insulating Material of Maurice Ward

    There are plenty of official NASA memos of various eras available online. It seems pretty clear the Starlite one is a fake - the layout and formatting are all wrong, even without the "smoking gun" incorrect logo. Examples:

    How To Make Starlite - The Miracle Insulating Material of Maurice Ward

    The "NASA memo" looks like a pretty poor fake to me: it looks as if someone has just used a basic MS Word template and pasted in a NASA logo. It's not even the correct logo: the font for the "NASA" letters is wrong, as is the orientation of the "orbit" in the logo, and the pattern of stars -...

    November Fires in California: Paradise / Camp Fire, Hill and Woolsey Fire

    One of the ingredients in the fire retardant (attapulgus clay) that is sprayed on forest fires is actually an aluminium compound. :)

    The 747 SuperTanker is back - fighting Cal. wildfires

    I was going to ask what the red stuff actually is, so thanks for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phos-Chek Some of the main components of Phos-Chek retardants include ammonium polyphosphate, diammonium phosphate, diammonium sulfate, monoammonium phosphate, attapulgus clay, guar gum (or a...

    November Fires in California: Paradise / Camp Fire, Hill and Woolsey Fire

    The usual conspiracy theories about houses being burnt while trees are untouched, directed energy weapons, and Agenda 21 are circulating:

    Explaining the white smoke from the base of the South Tower 9/11

    A comment left on a blog post which includes these photos, at http://stevenwarran-backstage.blogspot.com/2010/11/cryptome-and-nist.html Peter Humann said... I didn't read all the comments but one of the questions asked was why was that lot only a quarter filled it's because it was over $50...

    Why Does the Atmosphere Not Fly off into the Vacuum of Space?

    This is my atmosphere simulator. The grenadine syrup is the air, and the orange juice is the vacuum of space (only with more tequila in it). There is no barrier keeping the syrup at the bottom, and yet it gradually becomes less and less concentrated higher up the glass, until by the time you...

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Like this more aged one I saw the other day. Not a great photo as it was snapped on the move.

    Blowing out Candles with a Single Punch

    It seems to me the bulky boxing gloves would help with displacing more air. Although in the second video, Khan still blew out three candles with no gloves on.

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    I don't think there's any evidence of that from the videos we have seen. It looks to me far more like some very out-of-focus images that could be anything at all. They look far more like blurred reflections of some sort than any physical object.

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Contrail glowing pink just before sunrise this morning, with another plane passing by.

    Photos of Clouds and Skies (That you took yourself)

    That's from NASA Worldview, which shows images from the Terra MODIS satellite. It only passes a given place once each day, but the resolution is pretty good. https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov

    What You Can do to Help Promote Escaping the Rabbit Hole

    The only thing I can think of is that "dumbed-down" triggered the offensive-words filter.

    Unexplained Shutdown of Sunspot Observatory by FBI

    More details have emerged. Fairly mundane, although the reason will probably raise yet more flags for the conspiracy world... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-new-mexico-observatory/new-mexico-observatory-closure-stemmed-from-fbi-child-porn-probe-documents-idUSKCN1M001P (Reuters) - The...

    Debunked: Fake photos-Novichok attack Russian 'agents' (side by side gates)

    Not even that much, I would think. I don't know exactly how long these gates are but it looks like it would only take about something like five seconds to walk through them. So if the two men arrived at the gates together, as would be natural, then their speeds walking through would have to be...

    Plane Image on Google Maps in Cambodia - MH370 Speculation

    That doesn’t mean anything. The ground shape in Google Earth is taken from digital terrain models, so any object, no matter how high, will appear to be draped on the ground. (See the example I posted upthread with a plane appearing to fly down the side of a mountain.)

    Plane Image on Google Maps in Cambodia - MH370 Speculation

    How about this stunt plane captured in Austria? ;) Planes being captured in flight are a pretty common sight on Google Earth.
