    Explained: Washington State Island "Mystery missile" - Helicopter

    Strangely it seems like the smaller lights are at the front (in the direction movement) on at least some of the cars: look at these consecutive frames and note the movement of the vehicle that starts just above the S of "SkunkBayWeather". That seems backward, especially as the fainter...

    Explained: Unburned trees next to burned down structures as evidence of secret "energy weapons"

    The same claims are circulating on Facebook about the Greek fires earlier this week. Rather than realising that such behaviour is normal with forest fires, the conspiracy theorists have to claim that all fires are suspicious. It’s just like the 9/11 – Plasco connection. When “unusual” behaviour...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    So in fact it doesn’t look like the canopies have been moved. The ground-level photos are confusing as it really looks as if the canopy is further back and closer to the building. Just shows how hard it can be to gauge from a single 2D photo.

    I think it’s something like this (not to scale).

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    The aerial view on Google Maps doesn't seem to match the ground-level photos. In the ground-level photo, the front of the blue roof is fairly close to the building line, and the far edge is almost to the midline of the building. It also looks like it reaches inland almost to the end wall of the...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    The lighting is puzzling me. The sun is off to the left of the photo and yet the left edge of the window recess (if that is what it is) seems to be brightly sunlit. It looks more like a mirror to me, but the lighting still doesn’t really make sense: if it’s a reflection of an object then the...

    "Mars will be as big as the Moon" no, it won't.

    From the transcript: "I have a hunch that we might see a surge in these chain e-mails come the lead-up to July 31, 2018." Mars is pretty spectacular low in the southern night sky at the moment, BTW (at least from my location in England) but anyone expecting a second moon will be pretty...

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    A pair of parallel contrails at sunset last night. Both planes followed a very similar track a few minutes apart. The second one (left) was a couple of thousand feet higher (41000ft vs 39000ft) and the later part of its contrail dissipated.

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Almost looks like skywriting, but they are just contrail fragments. Time from first to last photo is 23 minutes.

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Was that today? This is a snapshot of the humidity at 250mb (roughly 34,000ft) at 1800 UTC (11:00am California time). The humidity is quite patchy, with drier air north of San Francisco and moister air to the south. The plane was heading south, from the drier air into the more humid air...

    And in fact it definitely can't have been that hotel because it has only just opened. It was still under construction in January this year. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFlfvQNY4sw

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    I don't think that can be it. Right sort of direction but it seems to be too far away, and hidden behind hills (see the foreground hill here). Plus there are houses in front which would surely show up extra lights etc. Better pic of front of hotel (actually this is the side facing away from...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    To illustrate what I mean by the lights. The photo quality is pretty poor, but the red circled object at the right is fairly clearly a lamp. The more distant ones also look similar (there may be a third there in between them). The taller poles I have arrowed in yellow look more like flagpoles...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    There's another photo nearby, a 360-degree panorama on Google Maps. It's not brilliant quality, and it's not geolocated accurately, but it is close to the UFO camera location: Link here. Comparing the buildings to the aerial view shows that this photo is taken from the location marked with...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    That shows how the lights along the shoreline could easily be hidden by moving the camera, as there is a wall (and tree) blocking much of the view in that direction.

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    Yes, there's a bit of tricky editing where a zoom into the star (Fomalhaut?) then cuts to a zoom in on the four lights, which the earlier footage showed was actually close to the horizon, some way below and to the left of the star. Yellow is the star, red is the cluster of lights: The...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    This video seems to show an identifiable star, Fomalhaut: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baQa0GRAS6M From Stellarium (NB time zone incorrectly shows Turkey as UTC +2, so I have adjusted the time by one hour) It then cuts to six minutes later showing a series of "UFO" lights...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    From another page about these videos: Duarte [Chilean researcher Andrés Duarte] also notices that the cameraman seems to deliberately play with a nearby tree to obstruct the lights of buildings that should be visible to the left, as well as with the camera exposure to have only the object and...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    Also from looking at all of these videos there seem to have been "UFO sightings" by this same person on multiple dates over a period of two years. It seems highly unlikely that there were repeat visits by UFOs to the same area, where this same hotel security guard could repeatedly video them...

    2008 UFO Footage From Kumburgaz, Turkey

    You would also need to show that the time on the video camera was set correctly. In the days before times were set automatically using GPS, how many people kept their camera clocks correct? Moonrise on that day was 1.48 am. If the moon was too high by 3.07am then it must have been in the right...
