    CNN — At least five people were killed and over 100 injured when missile fragments scattered over beachgoers during a Ukrainian strike on the city of Sevastopol in Russia-occupied Crimea, authorities say. “Unfortunately, we currently have 124 victims, of which three [are] dead children and...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    My intention, when I first set out to do the show, was to do a more balanced kind of storytelling. I wanted to expose hoaxes. I wanted Agent Scully to be right as much as Agent Mulder. This is, of course, not "balanced" at all. You can't balance "the paranormal exists" with "the paranormal does...

    I think it's a special case of argument from incredulity. "I can't imagine they faked it like that."

    Burkes Flat (Aus): The Bent Headlights case - another fire tower?

    The weather conditions would be important to determine if there was visibility across that distance, and whether it could possibly have been a mirage.

    Redditor says he saw a Gnome, entire comments section believes him

    His mom was driving him home after he had parked his car at their house, to save him from walking home in the heat. Anybody who would consider climbing a wall and pulling it off should still be at an age where their mom would be able to drive that much.

    Bugs and Suggestions for Metabunk.org

    It is possible to post a poll as a new thread on Metabunk. I have done that on occasion. Examples: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/poll-do-you-think-that-threads-should-be-closed-after-being-debunked.1296/...

    Bugs and Suggestions for Metabunk.org

    I have posted polls before, typically with interesting results. Whether a poll is "desirable" or not depends on the specifics. However, my poll above seems to be failing.

    Axiom of the Launch

    What does the symbol "÷" mean? What is your source for these numbers? 123⁰ is not a position, it is a direction. Do you have a source for this? Your whole argument is based on the idea that the ground track of the missile was straight, and that the missile did not maneuver as it approached its...

    Redditor says he saw a Gnome, entire comments section believes him

    Don"t forget the 1976/1977 book, "Gnomes". The book is written like a biology book, describing the habitat of the mythical creatures known as gnomes (Dutch: kabouter). In the book, Huygen and Poortvliet say they've spent at least twenty years observing them and call their study the "first work...
