Bear in mind that it's supposedly a crop.

True. But infinitely more likely than 0% can still be, for all intents and purposes, 0%.

Here's another teenage boy in the north of England who claimed to have taken a photo of a UFO in 1954 (also written by Clarke): http://magoniamagazine.blogspot.com/2013/12/darbishire.html He also later told people it was a hoax and, like Birch, later still said he'd done that to get people off...

What about things like 9/11 and chemtrails and UFOs that we're 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999% (or more) certain have completely mundane explanations? Just pack up metabunk and find something more useful to do instead? ;)

Doesn't seem like a strange coincidence to me: seems much more likely that if there is a connection it was that some people in '94 took inspiration from this story. Though probably more likely than that is that they're two unconnected incidents and if it is a hoax achieved in a similar way the...

I like the headline: "how the world's best UFO photo was hidden by the UK government for 30 years." Translation: "how an image one person restrospectively called 'the world's best UFO photo' some years after he'd last seen it (having originally merely called it 'one of the most intriguing...

Sure. But if we follow that logic we come to a place that translates as "don't ever post any flat earth claims because we can say with 100% certainty that the Earth isn't flat."

Thanks for those, I think that explains things. I guess the starting point for us needs to be in ensuring we're on the same page with terminology. Those definitions were taken from the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory No doubt if we're all meaning different...

Indent feature not working for me.

What I really want to say is: enough with the swans already. ;) But how about: you tell me what a white swan photograph would show and I'll find you one. Or maybe: that oil rig photo isn't a photo of a black swan, it's a photo of a white swan in unusual lighting. But perhaps most pertinent is...

Snopes fixed the error on Monday October 31st (I emailed the writer directly on Saturday the 29th so maybe that did the trick; tweeting certainly didn't). https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-gas-prices-over-5-dollars

Nah, there's no sexual component. Just that it "feels" female rather than male, for whatever reason. Which is interesting being as most of the folklore and cultural beliefs across the world also interpret it as something like a witch or a female spirit/demon. The wikipedia article on sleep...

I get sleep paralysis fairly often: it's very interesting how tangible the sense is that a) someone is there; b) that it feels like a malignant presence; and c) that it has a feminine energy to it. And even though I know what causes it and that there isn't anything there it still takes some...

I'm with you on that. Maybe the OP could be posted again but rephrased so instead of swans it's just directly addressing the ideas that the swans represent? These sentences I also find confusing and seemingly contradictory: And then: 8" per mile squared isn't measuring the distance to...

Your interpretation is skewwhiff. Trust me: I know what I meant, and to say it was what you said is an infinite number of miles from the truth. Seems like you've just got a little het up because I replied with something different to that which you were hoping for (and maybe something else)...

Can you screenshot where I wrote "your post sucks" please (or "could you explain more")? It's not showing up on my computer. All I see is "Perhaps his post could have used a little more detail/explanation?" I have zero axe to grind with Phil.

So true. Saying "post needed more info" is EXACTLY the same as having an axe to grind (???). /s

So where do we find a good source of data for the "distribution of actual aliens"? ;)

Exactly. Needed a little more than "google independence".

This thread was started to debunk the US-based map that was being shared to promote the unproven idea that UFO sightings are a US/cultural phenomenon. Since that's been done it's kind of turned into a "why do some states have more garner more UFO reports than others?" with many ideas being put...
