    Conspiracy Theory: MH370 was shot down by the US

    apparently she's peddled that story a year ago on netflix. She's pulling that statement out of thin air based on a conversation she had with "someone in the military" that told her we were a big jamming platform. Source...

    Conspiracy Theory: MH370 was shot down by the US

    hmmm • AWACS blocked all transmissions, but • MH370 sent a "code Tango" to the company, but • other pilots heard it (couldn't have been a company call then), and • the "hijacked" aircraft was shot down That's what I listened to, but presumably there was an operation in the South China Sea to...

    Claim: Fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field (geomagnetic storms) causes a myriad of different health problems.

    That's probably where ChatGPT copied them from. It's helpful to remember that ChatGPT operates like the students, who, on the night before the assignment is due, hastily rephrase a wikipedia page in the hopes that the teacher won't notice they haven't understood the subject matter.

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

    Go to the primary source. At the top of the BBC piece it says, They may have been targeted by Russian sonic weaponry, according to a joint investigation by The Insider, Der Spiegel and CBS's 60 Minutes. That paragraph means that the BBC is just summarizing that investigation. It links to...

    Comparing flat Earth and spherical Earth from a geometric point of view

    Yeah, that's basically the gist of it. Science isn't superior because it explains "why" things happen, it's superior because it describes what happens in thorough detail (or tries to). This is why globes are useful for navigation while FE maps do not exist. It's why we can use geometry to...

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

    trying to develop if the Havana syndrome predates this document, the capabilities should be actual, not potential, if that apparatus caused the syndrome.

    Study in the Modern Journal of Physics claiming that intelligent plasma is the source of many UFO sightings and that NASA is aware of this.

    I'd say it makes it easy, not hard. Actual experts don't have to make up their own credentials.

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

    Something like that works well in fiction, but in reality, it sounds like someone looked through call logs for something to use, without being interested what it actually refers to—could be as simple as a Russian phoning his mom on how to operate a joghurt maker. We don't know because there is...

    Google Bard says the Earth is flat (LLM bunk)

    Attackers can use the fact that many people rely on AI; exploiting AI mistakes can do actual damage. AI hallucinates software packages and devs download them – even if potentially poisoned with malware The idea here being that someone nefarious could ask models for code advice, make a note of...

    Comparing flat Earth and spherical Earth from a geometric point of view

    both have been demonstrated at small scales Isaac Newton didn't really know why, either.

    Phoenix Lights

    A formation of military craft would typically look to ATC like one craft; to avoid clutter, only the leader would transmit their position, which is sufficient to deconflict the whole group with other traffic in the area: if the leader is safe, so are the other aircraft close by in the formation...

    Peings and von Rennenkampff: Reconstruction of Potential Flight Paths for the January 2015 “Gimbal” UAP

    Well, yes. "commonality" means "the appearance of U is caused by parallax induced by the motion of V", and you need a benchmark by which you can compute the parallax—that'd be T. You could, with some effort, maybe make a probabilistic case: given V and U, but at random locations in space, how...

    Peings and von Rennenkampff: Reconstruction of Potential Flight Paths for the January 2015 “Gimbal” UAP

    We can't. Parallax happens when you look at a distant point, and the observer moves. (I used the example of a "jumping" mountain in a previous post.) But if the data allowed an ummoving point, @Edward Current would have found it. But what we have is the straight-line T path, which we know is...

    Peings and von Rennenkampff: Reconstruction of Potential Flight Paths for the January 2015 “Gimbal” UAP

    Method 1: highlight a section of text in someone else's post, wait for the word "reply" to pop up next to it, and click/tap it. This will add that section to your ongoing reply, formatted as a quote. (It doesn't always work.) Method 2: reply to the whole post to quote it, delete what you don't...

    Peings and von Rennenkampff: Reconstruction of Potential Flight Paths for the January 2015 “Gimbal” UAP

    First, I ought to say that I am not familiar with the whole video. I've watched the minutes you're referring to. If I'm missing other parts you'd like us to comment on, please point them out. I am familiar with the analysis of the flight path. Marik says, it's a J-hook because that is...
