Most phones, even the high end ones are not better than your eyes most are worse. They are wide angle with no optical zoom.

And small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri

Your best best for a portable/everyday solution is the Nikon p900 super zoom type cameras, they are cheap and compact enough and have enough zoom for reasonable ID purposes, the IQ is 'bad' though for artistic/high quality photos. Artistic setups for long range photography weigh a lot, cost a...

CIA officer from bin Laden hunt to lead Havana Syndrome probe as cases rise https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/07/cia-officer-from-bin-laden-hunt-to-lead-havana-syndrome-probe-as-cases-rise/ I hope CIA is open to other possible causes other than human action, I'm interested to see where this...

I tried it it doesn't correct for that type/level of motion blur. I did the same transform to compress along the angle of streaking as above as that seems the most likely source of distortion, it's most likely a passenger jet.

This is taken through plane window right, so there's 2 layers of thick slightly curved optically flawed plane window glass in front of the lens?

Great work, where did you get the squid boat location data, seeing a few of these filmed from planes if the OP ever gives the flight number...

"conclusive explanation that fits all the available evidence" You say this in your post which admittedly does not explicitly say "identified." Can you clarify what you mean by this, lets say in the context of Go Fast?

Debunked does not mean identified. It means "expose the falseness or hollowness of (an idea or belief)." It really doesn't matter what you think it means. Something can be unidentified and yet debunked if the idea about it (the claim/bunk) is shown to be false. The classic example is Go...

Welcome to metabunk

I've done 12 mile walks with it... It's not too bad if you have a good strap and sling it over your shoulders. I regularly walk around carrying it when I'm bird watching. I rented a 600mm f/4 once, now that was a hefty lens.

You need to give it more thought. Remember an insect and a planet have to be in focus in one shot.

Might start a chit chat thread for Metabunks photographers.

Interesting concept that tells us a bit about peoples understanding of the concepts of optics, just out of interest lets say all these subjects lined up, what problems do you think I might have capturing them all in focus and what do you think it might tell us?

A gull is also an option I would have thought.

Took an opportunity on a walk last night to demonstrate what I mean Here's a photo I took on my Google Pixel 3a uncropped, could I have witnessed the tictac! Look at the antigravity aura! Let's take a video, look at the amazing movement, truly extra-terrestrial. Oh wait what's this heavy...

Orb is an interesting word, it's been in use in paranormal/UFO culture for a while. It's a bit like 'pyramid' that has started being used a lot for triangle shaped objects ever since Corbel's bokeh video, i.e. the use of the word for a 3d shape to describe a 2d effect or an object where the 3...

I am an amateur wildlife photographer I am often walking around in less populated areas with camera with 45MP sensor and 560mm of focal length. Often I will see things at distance that I don't know what they are, in all cases using the camera to take a photo at max "zoom" and then looking at it...

I see what you mean about the noise factor more likely that is down to the JPG compression then Re the glare thing, I mean I guess the lights on the UFO could be dimmer non point light sources like the house windows but now we are getting into "it could a be UFO that looks like exactly like 4...

Re the triangle Photoshop. Just out of the bag the 3 corner 'lights' on the triangle are identical just resized, also they would need to be bright to be seen but they exhibit non of the glare/bloom aberrations of the other bright lights in the scene. Also when brightened they exhibit a...
