It's wild how viral that Harvard paper has become. Link to the disclosrue movement. Source: https://x.com/covertress/status/1801261122579775667 also aided by Joe Rogan. Source: https://x.com/SkyFireNews/status/1801324679917191272

Does anyone remember this newstory? I'm not sure what his motivation was but I wonder if this person was looking for CT's? Man kills himself instead of carrying out US amusement park shooting, police say In a letter he wrote “I’m not a killer I just wanted to see the caves" Source...

Funny you should mention that. For what it's worth I think these papers are written using something similar to Chat GPT. Especially the Sol Foundation papers. They simply have a spreadsheet of references and prompt it to write a paper supporting a particualr thesis. [opinion].

Yeah, perhaps there should be a separate thread about how these papers fit into / compliment the "UAP Campaign Plan" mentioned above. Is this the "shaping" stage, because it certainly doesn't seem like we've got to "demonstrate existence" yet.

I think this nugget on page 12 says it all. [bold added]

Yes, the same one I based the thread [#1] on (although I focus on a particular claim within the paper, as you say, it's part of their argument). I think there's just too many individual claims in that paper to talk about it in one thread, especially because to evaluate them you have to follow...

Just picked up by the Daily Mail... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13518373/UFO-mystery-result-advanced-stealth-civilization-living-Earth-say-Harvard-scientists-reveal-secret-bases-located.html

That one has a '96 date in the top left. Also in his article he says: Also, Incidentally, I came across John Howie's An Alarm to a Secure Generation (1780) AKA The Fenwick Visions. It's a sceptical take on aurora or refracted light being misinterpreted by large groups as "armies in the...

This archive footage of Michael Hesemann is new to me. Hesemann went to the school in March 1997 and interviewed 44 of the children. There are some drawings in this presentation mixed in with older ones that were made on 19 Sept '94. Some are labled 8/1/96. I'm not sure if they were drawn...

Wait a minute!...

I think most people would agree the random form of the rock looks like, but is not, a spoon, (there is no spoon...probably). This is pareidolia as we commonly understand the definition of the word: mispercieving randomness as purposfulness. Another image of the same thing...

When we recorded it I spoke with Toby for about an hour. During that time I talked a bit about @Charlie Wiser 's work as well as my own. They included my remarks in the edit of two episodes. S3E2 and S3E3.

Feat. @Giddierone ;)

So - and this is perhaps a topic for it's own separate thread - it seems to be part of the broad "confluence of evidence" argument that is being made by the authors (and others) who are pumping out "academic" papers that throw the kitchen-sink at trying to support the reality of "the...

The dishonesty of those "alien artefacts found on Mars papers" is breathtaking. They deliberatly label rover instruments incorrectly, use heavy photoshop filters, and crop images that otherwise would show the same lens artifact occurs across numerous frames. For example they label this image...

I shortened the title of the post to "Pareidolia is a bias", but this is the fuller question: Is pareidolia "a cognitive bias that hinders us from studying evidence with due openness and objectivity" as the paper claims. There are those, such as Richard Shaver mentioned above, who don't think...

Agreed. Elsewhere in the same paper the authors appear to rely on pareidolia to connect the dots between the oceans being relatively unexplored, tales of NHI bases in the oceans, and the nickname given to a UAP promoted on social media. [p.15 bold added] Similarly they reference a golden...
