    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    I'm fairly sure Corbell's Mellon's confidence is misplaced. https://thedebrief.org/the-pentagons-new-uap-report-is-seriously-flawed/ Page 1 of the table, page 2 of the report. Mellon: AARO: I expect that the investigations Mellon lists are not "programs", and therefore they're not listed...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    I wonder how much evidence actually exists that proves Doty was not acting on his own. If AARO did not find records of it (or witnesses), they wouldn't have added it to the report.

    Iran's Drone and Missile Attack on Israel. April 13 2024

    Today: Shortly after midnight, "three drones were observed in the sky over Isfahan. The air defense system became active and destroyed these drones in the sky," Iranian state TV said. Iranian media and officials described a small number of explosions, which they said resulted from Iran's air...

    Kona Blue - AARO Report on the Proposed AAWSAP Successor

    The people behind Kona Blue, the ones accused by Kirkpatrick, and their friends, aren't going to push this topic. But AARO didn't name them, so there's not a lot of news story there. Is it possible that Grusch found this proposal and assumed that this program was actually stood up, in secrecy...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    Well, it seems that the AARO report put severe pressure on Mellon and friends, judging by this reaction. Chris Mellon is almost certainly among the clique singled out by the report for spreading/creating misinformation. Whether AARO fulfilled its mandate is for Congress (and the recipients of...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    It's a hit piece and gish gallop. If you want to focus on individual claims, it'd be useful to quote them, perhaps in individual threads.

    Kona Blue - AARO Report on the Proposed AAWSAP Successor

    This is rude, insulting, and unsupported by evidence. Cal OES does not monger fear (Earthquake warnings). The NOAA NHC does not monger fear (hurricane warnings). Metabunk exists to point a finger at bunk, even though you could argue that myth and folklore (and thus, bunk) are as old as humanity...

    Kona Blue - AARO Report on the Proposed AAWSAP Successor

    no, it's "wouldn't it be a danger if the Russians have magic wands and we don't". It's playing on fears, and the precedent of the Sputnik shock. It's the same fearmongering that Graves & co do, with "what if those UAPs were foreign adversary technology". Fearmongering is the #1 method of the...

    Iran's Drone and Missile Attack on Israel. April 13 2024

    It all reminds me very much of the Iranian reaction to the assassination of Qasem Soleimani in 2020, attacking US bases in the region, except that this time, no airliner got shot (in fact, nobody seems to have died). On 1 April 2024, an Israeli airstrike destroyed the Iranian consulate annex...

    that was awareness of a single factor, trained into the dog who had the advantage of superhuman hearing situational awareness is holistic, it means being aware of possible threats and pissible options you have.

    Havana Syndrome: "Sonic Attacks" at the US Embassy in Cuba - Mass Hysteria?

    That is usually because a suitable mathematical model has been chosen (that does not leave important aspects of the issue out), and then measurements are made as inputs to that model. Your approach is a cargo-cult version of this, where no suitable model has been introduced, and no quantities...

    Phoenix Lights

    I wouldn't believe the BMW if it was important. Witnesses in crime cases have been known to even get the color of vehicles wrong, so I'd need more information than that to be certain. I would believe the witness saw a car (or motorcycle). If I could ascertain that the person who made the second...
