The reason Gimbal is unidentifiable is that glare/bloom covers up the far distant craft that causes it; that glare/bloom and the diffraction spikes are caused by the atmosphere and the pod optics. This would have happened in the exact same manner if the video had been captured and stored digitally.

Is that because I didn't write "expensive kite with LEDs sewed on"? :-p My post is entirely hypothetical, and that "cheap hardware with LEDs" is just a stand-in for anything "mundane". However, I expect that if there are actual UFO programs, these programs won't have had tangible results, much...

That depends entirely on how successful the program is. For example, AASWAP tried to stay under the radar because they didn't really have results justifying the expense. Now imagine a UAP retrieval program, and every time it retrieves something it's some cheap hardware someone bought off the...

"credible and urgent" doesn't mean true. Again, if the DA charges you with a crime in a court of law, there's credible evidence, but people still get acquitted or falsely convicted. The IC IG has no way to determine what has been shared to the 4/8 people in question. Rubio et al. see a...

Let's review the context. Grusch's public claims are not new; they've been around in one form or another for half a century. The only new thing about it is that there's now an insider making them. But after 50 years, there is still no credible evidence, not a single person or other country has...

Coulthart's source and the Dreamland forum say the same thing regarding the provenience of the patch. There is no choice involved. That's what the word "uncontradicted" (that you quoted) means. (Though I use it to mean, contradicted by facts, not by speculation over the meaning of an 8-bit number.)

Oh? Let's look: May I suggest you create a new topic in the ChitChat subforum, perhaps titled "How much government secrecy is good for us?" or something like that? It appears there are members who'd enjoy discussing that with you.

I'll take a likely logical uncontradicted explanation in the meantime.

Smoke and mirrors is a classic technique in magical illusions that makes an entity appear to hover in empty space. It was documented as early as 1770 and spread widely after its use by the charlatan Johann Georg Schröpfer, who claimed the apparitions to be conjured spirits. It subsequently...

There three ways to go about it, that I can think of. The first way is to make the circle smaller (zoom out) and then move the star further away. As you do that, the lines get more and more parallel. If you have a vector drawing program, you can try that out yourself; if you don't, I could...

So you don't think it's an EG&G patch from area51, and that it has nothing to do with RCS testing? Why?

He's not generalizing, but providing examples for situations in which it would've been "good" if the world worked according to his political opinions. And because these opinions always involve trade-offs between different values, blanket statements such as "is good" that don't acknowledge the...

The link here is that unspecific information isn't helpful. By saying "the DoD has a secret UAP crash retrieval program", we've been "told about a program", but haven't been told any information that would help anyone find it, or would help the DoD determine what caused this misunderstanding, if...

https://www.metabunk.org/forums/people-debunked.18/ "Bunk comes from people, and is repeated and promoted by people. Sometimes it's the people themselves that need debunking." (In case you feel so inclined.)

Sure. This does: But like I said, I'm not going to argue that again.

Yes. @tobigtofool disagrees. We've been over this at length starting from https://www.metabunk.org/threads/house-oversight-hearing-on-uaps-july-26-2023.13049/page-4#post-294650 . I'd be very happy if I didn't have to read round 2 of that same discourse.

Do you have a second source for that, besides Grusch himself? Grusch has not released the IC IG's response.

This isn't about a "victim". To put it simply: 1) Grusch says, "the DoD has UFOs". 2) The DoD says, "we don't have UFOs". The first is a positive claim. It can be proven, e.g. by finding a UFO in the DoD's possession. The second is a negative claim. It is unprovable. Grusch has a burden of...

The problem is that the angles don't work out. Working out your latitude is dead easy on the Northern hemisphere, make yourself a simple astrolabe/clinometer and observe the elevation (apparent altitude) of Polaris (if you want to be more exact, the celestial north pole), and you're done...
