    Claim: DNA evidence confirms existence of black panthers in the British countryside

    Looking at the video I really can't see anything other than a black domestic cat. Can anyone work out what the things on the left of the video are? This article says the video was shot out of the back window of a house in Bayley's Close, Empingham, which might help with getting an idea of size...

    Debunked: 2017 patent refers to mRNA vaccines as "agents of biowarfare". (It actually refers to using vaccines to treat people exposed to such agents)

    A claim is circulating on social media that a vaccine patent was granted in 2017, which describes the vaccine as an "agent of biowarfare". In some cases the patent is specifically stated to relate to mRNA vaccines. Examples: In fact this is pretty easy to debunk by simply reading the...

    Using moon viewing angles to demonstrate a distant moon

    Actually it is within the range of distances to the moon: that distance is not fixed because its orbit is not a perfect circle. The maximum and minimum distances, according to NASA, are 252,088 miles and 225,623 miles. I'm not sure but I assume that those distances are centre-to-centre, so the...

    Something on a NASA photo from Mars [Cosmic Ray]

    Could be a cosmic ray? I have seen similar artifacts on Mars photos before. The size and shape depends on the angle at which the particle hits the camera sensor. Edit: although the one I was thinking of appeared as a light streak, rather than a dark one...

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Only if it flew inverted. Which would probably be a breach of protocol, or at the very least considered to be showing off.

    Reverse engineer the mechanical failure just from grainy video

    Good spot. Maybe this was take two!

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Contrails certainly seem to be back to pre-pandemic levels this morning. Sundog just above the TV aerial too.

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Contrail with shadow. The plane was flying almost due north, just after noon, leading to this pretty striking effect.

    Timeline of Porter Goss 9/11 clip - After the Pentagon Attack

    Based on the timeline in this article in Time magazine, I don't see how it can be the Pentagon attack. Porter Goss says that he was still inside the Capitol building when the Pentagon was hit. The press conference occurred afterwards, when there were fears that the Capitol could be next to be...

    Dmitry Medvedev and the aliens

    Paging @Trailspotter - can you confirm the translation is accurate and provide any context?

    Chris Letho's 2006 Stationary UFO Observed from Nottingham

    Can anyone explain what Chris means at 13:45 in the video in the OP about the airliner giving a reference for the object being closer? How can you possibly judge that from a 2-dimensional video where neither object obscures the other?

    Debunked: Diving Triangle UFO Photos from Reddit [Fake]

    That assumes that what was recorded on that fuzzy video was the same "ball lightning" that has had near-supernatural powers attributed to it (passing through walls/windows, exploding on contact, etc etc). From the evidence of that video alone it could just be a fireball caused by something...

    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    One of Matthew Blythe's pictures shows the Grand Pier So was taken from somewhere around the blue circle here. Matthew Evans's photo was taken from around the red circle. Clearly the one replicating the UFO pic wasn't taken from exactly the same spot as the pier is not visible. The pier...

    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    If they were on the same day then that photo must have been taken before the one that matches the OP, as the moon was rising out to sea in the southeast. (Moonrise was 9.45pm.) The quote in the OP about the light "zooming off" is clearly incorrect. From Matthew Blythe's photo it looks as though...

    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    The Devon Live story posted yesterday (4 July) says "last week". Which if you count the week as running Monday to Sunday is correct, as 24 June was the Thursday of the previous week. Moonrise was 9.45pm BST that day. The direction looks right too based on the location I found above.

    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    Edited to say I agree with Mick as I had just posted exactly the same floodlight. It is hard to work out the perspective from the high-level photo, it looks more kike it is coming from the building to the left (Vision Express) based on matching the rooflines, but this could well be it.

    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    Just working out where the photo was taken from in Teignmouth. A couple of buildings to identify: This is the Courtenay pub seen at the left here from a similar direction And the distinctive pointed turret on the roof in front must be this one: Looking at Street View up Clampet Lane...

    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    The full photo is shown in a different newspaper report: Looks very much like a simple case of a reflection from the bright streetlight in the foreground to me. Could be that the story was made up or embellished to fit the photo.

    Debunked: Diving Triangle UFO Photos from Reddit [Fake]

    Off topic but do we actually know that? I don’t think its existence is proven at all beyond hearsay and legend.

    Debunked: Diving Triangle UFO Photos from Reddit [Fake]

    Thanks. Looks fairly indisputable to me that this image was used to create the fake. Boosting the contrast of the "UAP" photo, you can also see a trace of the land skyline behind the splash (red circle). I suspect the splash to the right has also been created by rotating the splash from the...
