    Szydagis Point #2: “It’s curious that Asia and Africa have so few sightings, and sightings stop at the Canadian and Mexican borders."

    Going back to the source, it seems that the data for the map comes from nuforc.org - the National (ie, US) UFO Reporting Center. It does include sightings from other countries but, by its nature, will heavily skew to US reports (and maybe English language reports from other countries) and...

    Szydagis Point #2: “It’s curious that Asia and Africa have so few sightings, and sightings stop at the Canadian and Mexican borders."

    UAP map: Air traffic map: So I would say "not really". Could be that. Those damn Europeans are so sophisticated and smart, and less into Hollywood storylines. Would be interesting to see box office figures for how films like 'Close Encounters' did in various countries. Might also be...

    NASA UAP FOIA Black Vault release and Mick West

    It's the one David posted, just his timestamp was wrong. Tile floor scene runs from about 14:35 to near the end.

    Szydagis Point #2: “It’s curious that Asia and Africa have so few sightings, and sightings stop at the Canadian and Mexican borders."

    So rather than tackling an actual debunkers' argument - such as "why do the vast majority of sightings occur in countries where UFOs are heavily advertised by the media?" - he's taking a needlessly-literal interpretation of a sentence written by a single astronomer? It's difficult to believe...

    NASA UAP FOIA Black Vault release and Mick West

    The justification to not involve Mick reminds me of when TV and YouTube channels were getting astrophysicists to debate flat earthers - they may know most of the answers but they probably don't understand the questions or the real intricacies of the issue. Those exchanges don't give me much...

    When Conspiracists Psychoanalyze

    It's been a political thread (or whatever anyone wants to say thread) since about page 5/6. It was suggested a while back that it should be split at post #169 and moved into a more appropriate section.

    When Conspiracists Psychoanalyze

    Make that 6 out of the last 8 - Liz Truss (third ever female prime minister) has resigned under pressure after just 45 days in charge (shortest ever).

    Szydagis' Rebuttal of the "Why no Good UFO Photos" Argument

    No idea. I'm just answering that he references what he considers "definitive evidence". But I'm with you on not considering it much in the way of evidence of extraordinary physical craft or something. I guess whatever he mentions as an example of why a specific debunkers' point isn't...

    Szydagis' Rebuttal of the "Why no Good UFO Photos" Argument

    Seems clear he thinks the 'weight' of reports - as well as certain specific ones - constitute "definitive evidence" that there's an actual phenomenon worth studying.

    Szydagis' Rebuttal of the "Why no Good UFO Photos" Argument

    I believe he's saying that the debunker's argument that "because we have loads of people with cameras but no good pictures" is akin to having watched a billion trillion monkeys with a billion trillion typewriters produce nothing after a billion trillion years and coming to the conclusion that...

    Szydagis' Rebuttal of the "Why no Good UFO Photos" Argument

    Szydagis is saying that debunkers who say "there are loads of cameras, we should have a good picture by now" is a bit like ("a variant of") the infinite monkey idea. He's saying that's the debunker's argument rather than his argument - but by extension his argument is: just because a trillion...

    Claim: anti-riot forces in Iran sexually assaulted a female protester

    The BBC yesterday claimed that: A video of anti-riot forces in Iran sexually assaulting a female protester whilst trying to arrest her has provoked fury on social media. This latest video, which happened in Tehran's Argentina Square on Wednesday, shows a group of officers in protective gear...

    Debunked: Claim that 2011 Sakurajima eruption video shows earthquake lights [just human lights]

    Indeed. Though I don't see how his moving to France affects anything; and even high school teachers are called "profe" in Mexico. But that's not the case in the UK (not to mention the implications of calling oneself a professor in the field of science). Which gives me an idea: I used to teach...

    Debunked: Claim that 2011 Sakurajima eruption video shows earthquake lights [just human lights]

    Probably like quite a few people who have seen at least a few of this fella's videos I'd assumed he actually was a professor and something of a scientist. But having had a few comment exchanges my curiosity became piqued by his use of language, his conspicuously non-scientific attitude, and a...

    Claim: UAP Caught on Home Security System Camera

    So he's saying the things that "shot straights up" were tiny little lights scooting around close to the ground in front of his house?
