The weird thing about UFO sightings is the silence often reported. If it wasn't silent, this could've well been something like the Avrocar. "11 feet across" is a fair estimate of its size.

Welcome to Metabunk! Sign up with @NorCal Dave for the Metabunk hoaxmeister group. :-p (I suggest a glass counterweight to save on editing.)

The animation at 10:14 seems counterfactual to me, showing the crushing at the base of the tower and not near the top where it buckled.

"small" and "far" are not the same, something can be small and close.

https://www.langenburg.ca/p/ufo-sightings When objects flew away the grass in the centre of each circle was standing, while the grass surrounding that was flattened in a clockwise circle. Also, the place where they landed became extremely radioactive. I'd like to see a report on how that...

There are alternate mundane explanations that don't involve malfeasance. The absence of hard evidence or other witnesses means a "hallucination" of some sort can't be excluded. As such, there's nothing to debunk: you either believe these objects were real, or they weren't.

I'm confident there is no thread created after July 3rd, 2023, on Metabunk, that discusses this sighting. Did you mean that we've discussed another sighting of a similar (or the same) object?

To me as a layman, the sunlight on the orb looks very different from the shadow on the trees, reinforcing the impression that it's CGI. Does the lighting on the orb change with the change in direction from the observer, by the same number of degrees? We don't have a camera position, camera...

Actually, the brightness had disappeared, when the clouds/haze/water vapor that caused the atmosphere to be bright had dissipated. The shade was always the same color as the cloudless sky. It simply wasn't bright because the sunshine didn't reach there—the mountain was in the way.

the "half mile" claim is based on "ground tracking data" that is not in evidence, and not likely to ever be in evidence. It's not an established fact.

That's bunk, if you look at the shadows, it's clearly just an upside-down photo. Qantas pilots are highly trained, so this doesn't happen with them. It's more like hobby pilots or rookies in the military (trained domestically) to forget about the equatorial inversion on the occasional...

Honestly, Grusch's specialty at the NGA is satellite intelligence, and you can very much take everything at face value there. There's a big difference between dealing with untrusted sources, and trusting the wrong people whom you perceive to be on your side. In the case of Stratton, he was...

Solar rays come from the sun, cosmic rays come from the cosmos, i.e. outer space.

What source says this? Where does NIST say this? Why is it curious? What are the footprints and the enclosed volumes? That sounds about right. If you consider a triangle with one side as its "floor", then the bottom half has 3 times the area of the top half. For a pyramid, the ratio is even...

There are two objects, though?

Pretty sure this can be improved upon, but it kinda works for me.
