    U.S. Customs and Border Protection Releases UAP Documents and Videos

    Not really, no. Your (speculative) claim was that the (non-existing) radar would show the motion better, and I cited some facts why that may not be true.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection Releases UAP Documents and Videos

    Hmmm. A video has 30 frames per second. A typical surveillance radar does half sweep in a second: Source: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mt43UeqVaZU&t=10 Basically, it looks towards the target, then looks somewhere else for 2 seconds, and then looks at the target again. You have to kinda guess...

    Debunked: "Celestial navigation is based on elevation angles from a Flat Earth"

    I don't understand what you're imagining here. If the stars were very very far ("infinitely") on Flat Earth, the sky would look exactly the same everywhere on Earth. You could imagine a tiny postage stamp-sized flat Earth inside the "sky sphere", like e.g. everyone in the same town sees...

    ''UAP researcher'' to release clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    I'm guessing it'll look like this: I'm always happy when people come and say, I saw something strange, could it be a UFO? But "I only saw a low-res version, but this is the best UFO photo ever" is just a bit too much for me, personally.

    So, the NY Post is a tabloid both figuratively and literally (since 1942). From 1968: Dorothy Schiff, owner and publisher of the New York Post [....]: " I suppose the Post is my life. I’d like it to be a combination of a tabloid and a literary magazine. Perhaps that’s what it is.”

    Ross Coulthart

    Well, you do apply different standards. You go ad hominem on Greenstreet, we looked at his work for Coulthart. Coulthart defending RBS wasn't bad because RBS is right-wing and allegedly beat a woman, it's bad because Coulthart again used claims of witnesses that support an upcoming story that...

    Ross Coulthart

    I don't think "activist" is particularly emotional? And since she's on the leadership council of American For Safe Aerospace, the description is accurate.

    Ross Coulthart

    As opposed to Coulthart, whose work we reject because of its shortcomings. If you want to talk about Greenstreet, I suggest making a new thread. Given the evidrnce at hand, I find the claims of racism and QAnon support to be overstated.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection Releases UAP Documents and Videos

    That's hard, though, when you're dealing with CT phenomena, where a large part of the audience expects objects to have the power of disguise. It has no visible propulsion system?—Then it might have an anomalous propulsion system. The data is compatible with straight-line motion at a constant...

    ''UAP researcher'' to release clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    '"orb" is today's flying saucer, and possibly the ball lightning of the past. It's a shape we're used to and that we like inferring on what we see. I think the "mockery" is simply having a bit of pre-fun at the expection that the picture can't possibly live up to the hype.

    orb filmed in the daytime

    if it was an aircraft, more precision may help identify it, such as a precise location (to the nearest mile is sufficient), precise time (check if your camera clock is accurate, if it's not, the time on the video file will be off), and the direction (north, southwest etc.) that the camera was...

    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    Until, in deep water with water depth h larger than half the wavelength λ (so for h/λ > 0.5), the phase velocity cp is independent of the water depth:[2] with T the wave period (the reciprocal of the frequency f, T=1/f ). So in deep water the phase speed increases with the wavelength, and with...

    AARO uses an IC (intelligence) team as part of their analysis effort, see https://www.metabunk.org/threads/aaro-mission-process-and-data-statistics-patterns.13087/ , so presumably someone on that team would have access?

    Google Bard says the Earth is flat (LLM bunk)

    As Taiwan approaches a pivotal presidential election in January, Tang said that both the government and a wide network of volunteers are preparing for China to increase efforts to manipulate Taiwanese civilians. Taiwanese civil society has developed new organizations to combat it. A group called...

    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    If we had an estimate of the wave speed, maybe. If the aircraft isn't "flying straight", you'd notice by looking out the window, because the apparent motion of the ground would be at an angle. The problem with the ocean background is that it's not static, it moves, too, though presumably slower...

    That's probably why the photo is going to be registered with an agency. When it gets used, the photographer gets paid.

    ''UAP researcher'' to release clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    UAPMax is setting this up like a product release, not a news story. And admits they've only seen a low-res version of the image, but it's "may be the best ever". On the upside, there's the promise of provenance and provenience, though UAPMax seems to not have heard that image metadata can be...

    Well, I think we all agree him there. ;) (Though the DNA analysis suggests that parts are, in fact, human.)

    Buckled Structural Steel in Building Fires

    that's nice to hear, I get told sometimes that we're not good at it :p I think most of us love answering questions, and that's why we're easy to troll. but as long as we're having fun doing it, I think it's all good.
