    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    Compare the last paragraph: Our calculation has neglected wind effects on the aircraft, and thus there is uncertainty in this result. But the analysis reveals that the object need not be moving at an extraordinary velocity. Note also that the object appears bright against a dark ocean for these...

    Alien Bodies at a Mexican UAP Hearing

    I don't have actual mummies to compare, to calibrate our expectations, but I expect the desiccation that goes along with mummification affects soft tissue differently than bones. I wouldn't want to infer the pre-mummification state of a body before desiccation without experience in the field.

    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    The problem is not having precise data, as NASA points out. Time/date/location would be a good start. Or you can just pick the data to suit your beliefs. But that's not scientific, is it? NASA says, "there's uncertainty here", and leave it at that, because no amount of speculation removes...

    Ross Coulthart

    I don't agree. They obviously have the capability, but they rarely do, and have not done so in this debate.

    Ross Coulthart

    If excessive smoking actually plays a role in the production of lung cancer, it seems to be a minor one, if judged by the evidence on hand. A cautious statement indicating that evidence was, in 1954, beginning to point to the connection between lung cancer and smoking. — Wilhelm (William) C...

    Ross Coulthart

    My point is that your answer is out of context ("this discussion", see below). So far you've not provided an answer that is in context. How would you go about establishing whether Coulthart and his sources are reliable?

    David Grusch's DOPSR Cleared Statement and IG Complaint

    I haven't seen any conclusions drawn? I did conclude from the fact that Grush published his IC IG complaint, but not Monheim's response, that the latter may contain parts not favorable to Grusch.

    Our link policy, listed under "Info" on the site nav bar, requires posts to be self-contained: you need to actually quote the pertinent parts, like so: But evidence collected and analyzed by The New York Times, including missile fragments, satellite imagery, witness accounts and social media...

    David Grusch's DOPSR Cleared Statement and IG Complaint

    The author statement has "UFO (UAP)". Some part of the ufo community really hates that some unidentified things might not be "anomalous" or not UFOs. It does look like at least 3 questions were cut, and we don't know what these referred to. He also could've been using these terms in his answers.

    UAPs, Bigelow, and the "Invisible College"

    Yes, but that's kinda the point: to show how sound bites have been ripped out of context, claims made without support, etc., all in a nice thread. There shouldn't be any one quote that requires a long debunk; these should get their own threads. It judt feels bad to leave this "mis-guide" undebunked.

    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    While that's funny, it's not really what's going on here. The rhetoric trick / logical disconnect is actually this: • Elizondo: "Look how fast this unidentified thing is going, must be an alien (or a scary threat)" • Mick: "It only looks like it's going fast because of parallax, it could be...

    David Grusch's DOPSR Cleared Statement and IG Complaint

    As there are reasons for the DoD to not disclose all of their files. Shouldn't the same standard apply for both? In Grusch's case, he submitted statements for DOPSR review that he intended to publish. If he now has reasons not to publish them, that reversal is interesting, is it not? For me...

    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    The aim was to not swamp lay people with numbers, and to keep the analysis short. The Daily Mail doesn't even know the exact date or the time, much less the exact location, and does not account for differences in wind direction. The main point of the NASA analysis is that the GO FAST object...

    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    Yes, it's mostly the same analysis as the one Mick presents at https://www.metabunk.org/threads/go-fast-footage-from-tom-delonges-to-the-stars-academy-bird-balloon.9569/ , edited so it would fit on a single page of the report. There's a typo concerning the range in the second diagram (3.4 ->...

    "GO FAST" Footage from Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy. Bird? Balloon?

    NASA panel analyzes GO FAST

    The analysis is on page 28 (PDF page 30) of their recent report. A well-known UAP event is the “GoFast” video, recorded by navy aviators from the USS Theodore Roosevelt. A still frame from this video is shown in the Figure below, where the infrared camera has locked onto a small object in the...

    David Grusch's DOPSR Cleared Statement and IG Complaint

    Grusch submitted this Q&A. It is cleared for open publication in its unredacted form. I believe the person protected by these redactions is David Grusch, though there may be others. I expect that Grusch could make the unredacted version of this document publicly available with no legal...

    Claim by Paul Landis: he found JFK assassination bullet in limo and placed it on stretcher

    There was a bit of a bruhaha at the time over Secret Service agents staying up late the night before, and it may help explain Landis's statements.
