This is a good description of a scenario that's been playing out since the early 19th century at least. One that I'm familiar with in some detail is Andrea Rossi's Energy Catalyzer, because I used to read the site NextBigFuture. The site owner Brian Wang kept quixotically reporting on this...

Yes. This case feels questionable.

JAB Just Another Balloon.

Too fast for an astronomical body, too slow for ISS. The only thing that bothers me is, once the plane turned and the glare from the landing lights is gone you should see the navigation lights, especially the strobe(s). It may have disappeared due to cloud cover. At distance, at night, you...

In this kind of case, here are some typical objections. These aren't flares because: They're stationary/they're just hovering motionless. There's no smoke trails. You always see smoke trails. They're in formation and the formation doesn't change. The wind would blow them around in front of...

Yes, I need to fine tune that. I'm struggling to describe how it looks. In a simple, real world example: Standing in a circle painted on the basketball court. Along your line of sight there will always be a "top" of the circle. It's the point that separates "curving to my left" and "curving...

An african swallow?

Illumination flares dropped by military aircraft or fired by artillery or on rockets. Each is on a parachute. Presented as a non-mystery by military personnel Presented as a non-mystery by an amateur astronomer. These appear to be rockets. Examples of flares presented as mystery...

Reminder: What we are seeing is the edge of a circle. Stand in any one of the three circles on a basketball court. Turn around in place. From your perspective the edge of the circle in your line of sight will be the point farthest away from you. It will therefore appear to be the top of the...

Much more likely to be a hubcap. Just the kind of thing you'd find on the side of the road. The old style wheel disks used to pop off. Prime suspect: VW bug hubcap There were plenty more with the central bulge. But the VW hubcap has the best overall shape.

A common misconception among FE Believers: We Globeheads are saying that there's a wall of water or a hump of water that obscures distant objects. This is an example of the misunderstanding. Mr. Thrive & Survive is objecting to Soundly's photos of Lake Pontchartrain. This is what the photo is...

Just as an aside... Back when aerial navigators used sextants during flight, they had a problem. The dip of the horizon is so great at high altitude that ordinary sextants are difficult to use. So sextants with an artificial horizon were used. Navigators for 200 hundred years have had to deal...

The article sheds some light on why the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) exists. Gradisher would not speculate as to what the unidentified objects seen in the videos were, but did say they are usually proved to be mundane objects like drones—not alien spacecraft. “The...

Time for me to trot out this list. https://www.metabunk.org/posts/213742/ This has been going on since 1947. There's a long history here. Anyone new to UFOlogy should seek an education about it.

Btw I took another look at that "shotgun" video. It's actually a tank.

Do we know he's being paid a speaker's fee? After four decades following this subject, I think the only scientists who could have a professional interest (as opposed to a hobbyist's interest) in UFOlogy are experimental psychologists. There's a lot to learn about eyewitness testimony for example.

This is disappointing. As the years grind by and nothing comes of it, this too shall pass. For example, Physicist Bruce Maccabee had this to say about the 1976 Tehran UFO Case The object which was seen and detected on airplane radar has not been identified. It must have been a source of...

Agree... and I changed the wording in my above post a bit.

A. NASA freely admits that they use ancient cycle charts for their eclipse predictions. The Saros Cycle and those cobby old ancient methods which simply look at past patterns in the sky to predict the next one is precisely how "modern theorists" predict the lunar eclipse today. This is an ad...
