    Was the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza hit by an Israeli airstrike or PIJ rocket?

    Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters rockets fired by the PIJ passed by the hospital at the time of the strike, which he said hit the facility’s parking lot. Hagari claimed there was no direct hit on the facility and said military drone footage showed “a kind...

    1994 NASA STS-64 Mission & Lights Seen in the Sky Over Africa

    A single lidar laser doesn't make a row of green lights. And the Space Shuttle has never looked like a meteor shower either (with the exception of Columbia's last flight), and would generate a sonic boom only on re-entry.

    House Oversight Hearing on UAPs - July 26, 2023

    That's an interesting data point, but it doesn't "dispel the theory". It's highly likely that Grusch met Stratton in 2018, who is a believer.

    1994 NASA STS-64 Mission & Lights Seen in the Sky Over Africa

    Better than to make wholly unfounded claims. The ISS has never looked like a meteor shower, and does not generate a sonic boom.

    Pinned post on the relevant forum is better. I believe many people ignore the navbar.

    1994 NASA STS-64 Mission & Lights Seen in the Sky Over Africa

    You made reference to the Ariel school sighting, which had a landed craft. If we agree the ISS didn't have anything to do with that, then that's fine. There are no newspaper clippings of reports of lights in the sky included or quoted in your post. The post shows the laser not too bright...

    1994 NASA STS-64 Mission & Lights Seen in the Sky Over Africa

    The Lidar would not have been visible in daylight. Compare https://www.metabunk.org/threads/green-lasers-in-the-sky-remote-sensing-satellite.12864/ . The other two would also have been hard to see (if at all) during daylight, and certainly not at a low angle where they could be mistaken for a...

    Google Bard says the Earth is flat (LLM bunk)

    Now we have some meta-bunk: Online AI image detecting tools that may or may not work are labeling real photographs from the war in Israel and Palestine as fake, creating what a world leading expert called a “second level of disinformation.” AI trying to detect AI-generated bunk has bunk output.

    Claim: DNA evidence confirms existence of black panthers in the British countryside

    The idea here is that nobody bothers sending in any random hair they find stuck on a fence to be DNA-tested, but the person running the centre might do that with any hair they encounter on their daily afternoon walk. So if any such hair (and nothing else) is identified, it'd have to come from...

    Claim: DNA evidence confirms existence of black panthers in the British countryside

    That's putting it mildly, given that someone at the Centre for Fortean Zoology has filed the "the best photo of a British big cat that exists" away without telling anyone, and throwing away the envelope it came in. I find this slightly less likely than the person who runs the Centre sending...

    Claim: ''UAP researcher'' released clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    How wide do we expect the original to be? About 19-20 pixels? Do we have a version like that?

    Claim: ''UAP researcher'' released clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    Here's what I think happened: His car broke down. The panorama was nice, with the moving cloud shadows. He propped the phone up on the ground, maybe using a small tabletop stand, and took a sequence of pictures. One picture happened to catch the "orb".

    Claim: ''UAP researcher'' released clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    But it's 720x1279, close to 9:16, and probably resized from the original.

    Claim: ''UAP researcher'' released clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    That's a 4:3 image. The posted metadata says, 2268×4032 is the original format, which is 9:16.

    What is this thing to the lower left in this NASA solar photo?

    I don't understand this at all. First, we live in a 3D universe, cosmic rays can hit the sensor from anywhere. Since they don't have to go through the optics, they can also hit the sensor anywhere, e.g. where the image of the sun is. The photons from the sun and the cosmic ray particle create...
