Yes its the 2 sides of the same coin of not "taking UFOs seriously." The press simultaneously don't react as if the stories were true, but neither do they go looking for rational explanations or debunks, the clicks are in the "mystery" treating it as a fluff and / or courting the "controversy."...

Hoax videos and debunked stories are boring to the media. There is a slightly more interesting meta story which only really Greenstreet has picked up, which is the current level in government that the UFO flap has reached with the AATIP/AWSAP thing, Elizondo and the Invisible College, Bigelow +...

The use of the word "real" in UFOlogy is also rather flexible.

Any large enough data set of reports of things that are unknown is eventually going to mimic a population map.

Googling around i also found this analysis https://www.debunker.com/trent.html https://www.nicap.org/trentphoto.htm https://www.debunker.com/texts/trent1969.html The 1969 link contains some photometric analysis

You need to know the angle of view of the camera frame in degrees then you can do some rough calculations based on assumed object size or distance. So the camera make/model/format and lens specifications are needed.

It all sounds like tracking reports/sightings of UAPS not tracking UAPs.

What if this whole thing is viral marketing for Cheez-Its?

Yup live photo is indicated by the metadata screenshot. Just share the HEIF, emojiis and dramatic statements rather than just "here's a link to the dropbox of the original files" is more signs that it's a hoax attempt.

Source: https://twitter.com/anthroaerospace/status/1785824583548887253/photo/1 Another single photo with no context, people calling it fake (and i lean this direction) refusal to show metadata, saw it again and no video and no other photos. No photos from anyone else. This one is a hoax as...

presumably they mean a KC-130 tanker? Do we have a date/time maybe we can track the tanker on ADSB Exchange. Original images. exact location and date and time are probably going to be needed. Given the story sounds a bit embellished and the shape is slightly different.

A reactor doesn't necessarily mean a power generation device, reactors can be used to synthetise / breed elements etc.

I think this a context issue, Metabunk outside of "chit chat" isn't for posting anecdotes you find interesting, it's sort of assumed and required based on the rules of the forum that a claim you make should be a claim you think is real and that you should provide evidence for, if you think these...

Maybe bigfoots complete the US census as well

It feels like AARO is Metabunk with less UFO analysis experience, no access to cloud sourcing but with money to buy expensive balloons and time and space to perform more practical experiments, sounds almost fun...

Not too mention they already learned that 'Starlink' is those long line of lights.

Perhaps it's a negative example, ie "none of this annoying glowing stuff needed"

Form the UK i get:

Lights from bright stars and planes can been seen by the human eye, a night vision device has no problem even with a smaller aperture, the reasons manually adjustable iris apertures are on these devices is to reduce glare from really relatively bright lights and to make them sharper in...

There's a ton of factors that make this different. The drones and cruise missiles used by Iran were large generally predictably straight flying vehicles and the drones were probably Shahad type drones, basically autonomous light aircraft with a bomb in them. Downing these when not facing any...
