People don't need to be crackpots or mentally ill to fabricate stories. Nor do they need to be malicious or narcissistic. The Solid Citizen Argument is nonsense and a straw man. Fuhr's story is very simple, without much narrative. One could even say impoverished. No one else is involved, not...

This is impossible to solve. I've considered temporal lobe epilepsy, but there's no real evidence of that. And complex partial seizures don't leave physical traces. Certainly not a dust devil. I've seen too many of those to believe that. They don't leave marks like that on the ground. If...

I've touched on this elsewhere. Naive UFO Debunkers tend to "go too complex." Discussion here has convinced me this isn't CGI on a still. I doubt this is a drone. And a model hanging from a drone is still unnecessarily complex. This witness seems to have a very eccentric history, makes...

On the other hand, there are drones that can look like a solid sphere. But the simplest explanation is that this is the old model and fishing pole trick. If you have multiple string attachments and move carefully, the wobbly motion and swaying can be minimized. A spherical model would...

If this were just a random YT video titled, Testing My New Drone, it would seem pretty normal... at first. But something caught my attention. Not a leaf stirs, not a blade of grass sways, not a cloud moves. Both the color and B&W versions look like stills. However, in the B&W version we do...

Here's some facts. The last comment, of any substance, about the Orb on the UAPMax Twitter account was on September 26. On Sept 29 and 30 there were several posts castigating people who disagree with the distant Orb idea, but there were no counter-arguments. Only argument by assertion and...

Or maybe it's the ghost of a boy who died in a traffic accident on this spot? I do like the astronaut pic. But let's not get too far out in the weeds with this distraction. Let's go with the highest probability stuff first. Plant with yellowish translucent leaves? Or what road, anywhere...

Okay, clean slate, then? I think it looks like a classic paper airplane.

Does the video show the sparkling effect the eye-witness describes? The camera may have missed something like that. Or it could be lost in a multi-generation video.

I should present these two versions side by side. 'Shop and Original. .

Oops. Already solved?

It looks a lot like a classic paper airplane to me.

Yes, good additions. If we ever do see the high-resolution version, these things should be more obvious. We should also talk about scale. The butterfly is just the right size relative to the leaves/blades of grass.

I think this is apropos. http://www.psy.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/gilchrist2006mytalke.html The band of sunlit forest -in which the house roof is visible - is between the dark band of cloud shadow, and the more distant, and thus darker, forest. Therefore that band of sunlit forest is perceived...

I tried a different approach: The bottom up approach. To eliminate the distracting and misleading cloud shadow, I used the Photoshop clone tool to make the brightly sunlit plants taller. I did nothing to the butterfly/Orb. I did not move it, make it brighter, or anything. This is a rough and...

I'll get around to it. We're getting sidetracked, so let's just say for now that this is the more accurate source:

Yes, Post #48 should be the first post in the split thread. This was the first time the actual photo was presented. There may have to be some added text at the top to explain what the thread is about.

And you put it into Stellarium? How?

How do you get the right TLE file?

UTC - 06:00. In other words CST. Easy, since Stellarium shows local time as the default. Maybe my old brain is playing tricks on me. I can't see a problem.
