Might have been her hedging her bets, i.e. if it had turned up nothing, she could've kept silent about it. Or it could've been a sample acquired at the zoo. Or there could really be a big cat around now. Over here, I'd think "wolf", though a large number of dead sheep turn up with dog DNA.

I submit that Halt was familiar with the moon; and if observing Jupiter, would likely have remarked on the object being near the moon. However, I would expect him to recognize a light near the moon as a star. A light closer to the horizon is much easier mistaken for a craft.

They're trained and experienced with regard to their job, not with regard to UFO hunting. They can be good at one thing and bad at another. If you're trying to appeal to authority, you need to establish credentials in the field, but that's difficult because, until today, nobody has successfully...

Generally, yes, but e.g. the 3 lights on the MH370 "portal" circle.

Sean Kirkpatrick, who stepped down as director of AARO in December, has stated this a few times. It doesn't get much more official than this.

Especially if the inner part sprung a tiny leak and shrunk a little. The Debrief published an article on it last week, at https://thedebrief.org/this-well-known-ufo-debunker-is-skeptical-of-the-dods-recent-investigations-into-aerial-mysteries-heres-why/ , citing this thread. They're celebrating...

The non-humorous aurora posts should be added to https://www.metabunk.org/threads/northern-lights-may-2024.13465/ @Landru

We've touched on provenance in other threads, e.g. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/claim-ancient-cultures-inherited-structures-and-artefacts-from-pre-historic-lost-civilizations-with-advanced-manufacturing-capabilities.12240/#post-287000 . This thread here was set up to discuss ancient...

or maybe not Excerpts from ISW: Russian forces began an offensive operation along the Russian-Ukrainian border in northern Kharkiv Oblast on the morning of May 10 and made tactically significant gains. Russian forces are likely conducting the initial phase of an offensive operation north of...

Presumably related to this: NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) — a division of the National Weather Service — is monitoring the sun following a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8. Space weather forecasters have issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic...

I made no statement about what you had seen. But I'm glad you figured it out!

It is not illegal to use the sound, but it can't be broadcast. Section 11.45(a) of the Commission’s rules provides that, “[n]o person may transmit or cause to transmit the EAS codes or Attention Signal, or a recording or simulation thereof, in any circumstance other than in an actual National...

They're using dB(A), which is a measure weighted by frequency. (There's also dB(C) etc. with different weights.)

If you're musing what could have caused the injury if it wasn't the airpods, here's a list: Things that can cause perforated eardrums include: Cotton swabs or other cleaning tools. These can poke through the eardrum. Sudden pressure changes (barotraumas). This might happen when flying in an...

In what way is sound (mechanical radiant energy that is transmitted by longitudinal pressure waves in a material medium) involved here?

Compare: If the boy's ear is that vulnerable, something would've likely happened well before he turned 12.

For a sound source, unlike sound pressure, sound power is neither room-dependent nor distance-dependent. Sound pressure is a property of the field at a point in space, while sound power is a property of a sound source, equal to the total power emitted by that source in all directions. I...

Your webcam shows a reflection on the water. Notice the clearly discernible loom.

Looks more like a zebra, though. ;)

Are airpods capable of emitting 1000W of power? No. (160 dB is the noise of a jet turbine. Try hearing an airpod at the distance you can still hear a plane.)
