    Steven Greenstreet's Skinwalker Ranch Video Series

    From the video... Probably allergies, as he says. But a suspicious man might think that someone was shining a powerful IR light at Greenstreet. And that same suspicious man might suspect someone was knocking on the wall from the outside back in that spooky old house.

    Claim: Faster than light travel (FTL) can not be discarded with arguments from physics

    She lost a lot of credibility with me when she endorsed Havana Syndrome as real. Not relevant to discussion at hand but... Her attempts at dry wit are off putting because she's awful at it.

    The Andy McGrillen UFO Sighting

    We're running into a very important issue here. Compounding errors. Hendry, A. (1980). The Ufo handbook: A guide to investigating, evaluating and reporting Ufo sightings. Sphere. We're getting a very vague description from the witness. It's natural to "fill in" details. In this case the...

    The Andy McGrillen UFO Sighting

    Another faint possibility is a laser light show. Those were a big deal in the 90's.

    The Andy McGrillen UFO Sighting

    Let's think about the line of sight here. How could anyone see a distant Ferris wheel above the roofs of houses? Is Glasgow built on steep hills? This particular Ferris wheel is surrounded by buildings at least as tall. Seeing this from a distance would be pretty unlikely. In general, I'm...

    The Andy McGrillen UFO Sighting

    We're really missing a lot of info here. Compass direction, exact date, elevation and apparent size. I wouldn't be surprised it were a scintillating star, though. In the winter months Sirius, Rigel and Procyon are rising about 9:00 p.m. Although the bit about not being able to see the bottom...

    Claim: Tulare Lake was once the largest freshwater body west of the Mississippi

    I honestly don't know why you're making this argument. Best case scenario, the info as presented is ambiguous. Is that good writing?

    Claim: Tulare Lake was once the largest freshwater body west of the Mississippi

    The story never mentioned surface area so how is that obvious from the news story? Yes, it is important because I think it's poor journalism to ignore the important points I mentioned above. There should have been a complete discussion to illuminate those points. Volume is the important...

    Claim: Tulare Lake was once the largest freshwater body west of the Mississippi

    How is 6.5 million acre feet four times the size of 122 million acre feet? This has a Flat Earth feel of intellectual dishonesty to it. Considering the point that the lake was lost through the diversion of the rivers that once flowed into it... Obviously the volume of water lost is the...

    Claim: Tulare Lake was once the largest freshwater body west of the Mississippi

    I don't see anything in your response as relevant to the discussion at hand. The news stories are referring to Euro-American California times starting about 1860. If you want to go prehistoric... Tulare Lake in the 19th century was a remnant of Lake Corcoran. But why talk about prehistoric...

    Claim: Tulare Lake was once the largest freshwater body west of the Mississippi

    Due to heavy precipitation in California parts of the state are expected to experience serious flooding. In the San Joaquin Valley, a low lying area (now highly modified) that was once part of Tulare Lake is already flooding. That's true. Here's where it gets bumpy. Recently, many news...

    Calvine UFO Photo - Reflection In Water Hypothesis

    Also, present day UFO skeptics don't know about the old timey UFO hoaxters who used the glass shot technique. An example is this George Adamski hoax home movie. It's believed this is a cutout pasted on glass. You have to admire this on some level because the larger example is not a simple...

    Calvine UFO Photo - Reflection In Water Hypothesis

    My view is that the most likely scenarios are: -Miniature models - both the flying saucer and the plane. The saucer is closer to the camera. The model plane is more distant. In that scenario I would have the lens stopped up all the way to keep the depth of field as shallow as possible. -The...

    Calvine UFO Photo - Reflection In Water Hypothesis

    I think it's important to keep things in perspective here. -Realistically, this is just a trivial hoax, so let's not get too emotionally invested -It's too ambiguous to come to a firm conclusion.

    Mosul "Sphere"

    So you think this comes from a video camera pointed at a video screen? In this scenario the artifact is a reflection of a light source inside the room that is intermittently blocked by an object inside the room, The light source may even be on the camera itself. So what's blocking it...

    Mosul "Sphere"

    I don't know what's causing the artifact in this drone footage. I've just started to ananlyze under what conditions it appears and changes appearance. Single frame from video.

    Trying to identify an object with a contrail

    I think what you're talking about is the hovering illusion. The hovering illusion is due to perspective distortion. Apparent speed changes with distance. The planes are on the horizon above the red blinking light. Right edge of frame.
