Well, that does sound very much like what a plane engine sounds like - which is what the photographer says he heard.

Seems about right. I checked a more accurate source and got 93m (305 feet) - then there'd be the addition of camera height. I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to use Google Earth to see whether that really was the viewpoint or not. (PS Viewpoint coordinates for easy copy-and-paste...

That's a good point: my first thought was "gee, that looks higher than 300 feet" - though obviously I wouldn't put much stock in my eyeball impression.

First thing I would do is double-check the elevation for the observer location: that method of finding it using Google Earth can be quite inaccurate. Also double check the target height. As a side note, given that Flat Earth appears well on the wane and that there are so many good debunks and...

I agree with Tomer here. The topic of the thread is "what equipment do you recommend for recording UAPs?" I know I also expressed doubts about the project - but on reflection I think I'd delete that comment if I could. It's probably quite annoying if you're just asking a question about...

Here's what the photographer says about exposure: That was posted about a month ago so you'd think he'd have had the metadata looked at by now, but perhaps not. He also posted a video yesterday saying how he's been talking with a producer from a Discovery Channel UFO program (UFO Witness)...

I guess the problem there is once you identify it it's not a UFO/UAP. Therefore the only true UFOs/UAPs will always be just outside the range of what can be clearly defined, no matter how good the camera is. Better cameras = more photos of planes and balloons. Which is not what I'd want to be...

Jeez: I scored about 15 on that - and that's with scoring several of the questions half or a quarter. ;)

I hear ya. But, again, I'd just like to point out that I didn't say anything about smartness/education, and that we don't share that belief, since I tend to feel pretty much everyone is "smart" in some ways and "not so smart" in others. Also, I've spent far too much time around universities and...

Just to note, there's nowhere in my post that I said I thought any right-leaning people here on Metabunk are any of those things. Though I will also note that there's nowhere in your comment that you say I did say that either. ;) Also, thanks for saying I'm much less offensive than others. :)...

I agree, and am not surprised that's the way it is. Most members here tend to err on the side of the rational and be quite balanced, irreligious, and committed to investigating an issue from all possible angles, etc. Stereotypically speaking - and maybe in reality too - those are traits more...

Indeed. I was laughing at the joke. :)

Suggestion: the face that's used for 'funny': seems a bit much for me - seems too much like 'laughing at' rather than 'with'. How about one like this instead?

You're not seeing this?

Has that changed? I didn't know that. Personally, I think two separate threads here would be useful. And, yes, glad to see that someone has contacted her: I always like it when people do that. Probably the majority of the time they respond with useful and time-saving information.

I recently read a very silly and sometimes amusing book about how it was actually OJ Simpson who masterminded 9/11 - called 'How I Did It 2'. :) https://www.amazon.com//dp/B096Z3YQ8X/

Just checking in on Flat Earth I notice a similar calculator to this one has been used to persuade Shane 'Ranty' Cook. a fairly prominent UK flat earther, to accept he was barking up the wrong tree. Video here, featuring a picture of Blackpool Tower and some mountains behind it: Source...

Exactly. Must be a very small probability indeed. ;) So what's the hypothesis? Art student takes photo of some big moon loads of people are going on about and then a week or so later notices in the news that UFOs are a big deal and thinks, hm, I wonder if anyone would fall for this pic I took...

There's maybe a slight difference in the news stories and what the photographer told me, which was: Which, if that's what actually happened, is hard to imagine someone mistaking in a slowly rising moon. Not to mention that he says it was from "a couple of nights ago" (I've asked for an...

I'm just having a chat with the student who took the OP photo right now. He says he took the photo "a couple of nights ago around 11.30pm".
