Another illustration of how forced perspective exaggerates minor course corrections making them look like big zigzags. Taken yesterday morning: The track shows it was just a couple of very minor course corrections in the vicinity of Gatwick airport. The first turn was about 40 miles away, and...

It's something I had never really paid attention to until my parents moved to a house with a view of the sea. For a few weeks either side of the solstice, the sun sets out at sea as viewed from their front room, but the rest of the year the sunset is hidden by the hills as it sets further south...

LOL. "His paper was proven to be hopelessly flawed, which is the best evidence he was right"!

So still a fern, but a new shoot. I think it's the shape of the waving flag in the images up top that gives the unfortunate anatomical effect :)

What is the swirl meant to be? A rollmop? A Swiss roll? The more I stare at it the more it looks like the back end of a lion in silhouette, which probably wasn't the intended effect!

It's already got you speaking Dutch! :) Anyway, I like the black and blue fern. It's a very nice design. Not sure about the black-and-white rollmop though...

Unseen footage says FALSE! :)

World Trade Center from Staten Island Ferry, November 1973.

Nicely done. I didn't think that would be the same location as the first (sunset) segment, so I didn't look at that part of the video. It is to the north of the home address I found for the other photographer, so that was a red herring.

I don't see any comments more recent than two months old on there. I think you are the only person who can see your comment. Pretty standard behaviour when awkward facts are presented.

I had a look around Los Alcazares in Google Street View to see if I could find the filming location of the video from which that grab was taken. No luck, but it certainly looks like a likely spot. Assuming that Francisco Ros Hellin took his photo from his home on Calle Juan Ramon Jimenez, then...

Off topic for this thread perhaps, but do those ratios look even remotely similar to you? Bear in mind that the horizontal axis is logarithmic, not linear!

Very little time. Even out of the cockpit window the closing speed is pretty impressive. There's a nice collection of "crossings" here:

Correct. But it's worth pointing that the one barium compound he mentions by name is barium sulfate. He just uses "barium" as a catch-all term, which is ludicrous. I assume his "one gram will kill you" notion comes from barium chloride, which is soluble and has an lethal dose of about 1 gram...

There was a poster presentation on what visual effects SRM might actually produce given at the Climate Engineering Research Symposium in Berlin last month...

I think you are giving chemtrail believers too much credit. It doesn't matter whether it's credible, or even what it actually says. All that matters is that it got published and it appears to back up their position. End of story.

Not pre 1995, but from 1995, in the music video to "This is Music" by The Verve. Persistent contrails forming an X over the Trellick Tower in west London: The trails are visible in the first 5 seconds, but out of focus, and appear to jump across the sky in segments filmed at different times...

It seems the professor is not terribly observant. I just clicked a random point on a freeway in San Diego on Google Maps and looked back through the historical Street View imagery (of which there is a lot to choose from in this area). This is from an image captured in October 2011: The same...

There appear to be only two flights a day for the Phoenix - St Louis leg: US652 in the morning and US484 in the afternoon.

This one also passed the flight, 1000ft above, on the other side. Could the "FRONTIER" logo look like black and white stripes from a distance?
