PW has posted a new YT video claiming the same thing. It's probably about 4 o'clock in the morning; here looking at the night sky. And this is one of the fundamental proofs that we're not on a globe orbiting the Sun. ...every night throughout the year I see the same stars. This would be...

This May 2018 YT video refers to the Non-Uniform Density Transition Zone by name - although "zone" has become "line."

He is apologizing for not livestreaming the event; even though refraction made the experiment as planned impossible. They moved up the beach just to see what they could learn. As soon as the camera moved above the refraction zone, the laser appeared as expected. I don't know if he considers...

D'oh: Soyuz spacecraft

Agree. It's a parallax effect. -It's a wide angle lens and the debris is much closer to the camera than one might assume. -The camera is moving back and forth. -The background object - the MIR spacecraft - is distant. -The apparent zigzag movement of the debris is caused by parallax. The...

I don't see the need for an elaborate explanation. People are only going to work as hard as they have to. The military doesn't need to establish and follow good accounting practices, so it hasn't.

Dr. Andrew Young has a website about atmospheric optics: http://aty.sdsu.edu/~aty/glossary.html#gradient Back in 2106 there was an active thread about Sandor Szekely's Lake Balaton laser experiment. I asked Dr. Young to look at that thread. He was kind enough to send me an email in response...

This answers that question. A lot of other info, too. Lake Balaton Laser experiment to determine the curvature of the Earth, if any.

Back in my day camera shops rented equipment. Do camera shops still do that?

Video submitted to the Free Press shows an unknown object, blazing slowly through the sky above the frozen lake and leaving a smoky trail in its wake. That seems to be an inference made by the reporter. And this is an inference made by the guy who wasn't there, but got sent the clip. The...

-I didn't point to that particular event. There were many events. -Are you sure what a fireball smoke trail looks like? This one from Arizona has evolved a complex shape because of winds. Over time, the smoke trail evolved into a more substantial outbreak of clouds. Why? Because of...

If I had to guess I'd say this is the persistent smoke trail from a Quadrantid fireball. I think the observer saw the fireball but wasn't fast enough to catch it on camera. He videoed the persistent smoke trail. The blob at the far end is where the bolide blew up. There's no specific report...

Apropos: Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-deception#Trivers'_theory It has been theorized that humans are susceptible to self-deception because most people have emotional attachments to beliefs, which in some cases may be irrational. Some evolutionary biologists, such as Robert...

What I see is an airliner heading away from the camera. Those are the white navigation lights on the trailing edge of the wingtips

Over the course of a year Flat Earth Believer Dave Marsh made observations of the Moon and collected data from the site Time and Date. From YT video Flat Earth: Moon Race Using the Zetetic method, I set out to record the Moon when it was over the Tropics and on the equator. If the Moon was...

I once saw Jupiter naked eye near the meridian in late afternoon. Funny thing is that I wasn't even looking for it. I was just looking up at the sky in general and it caught my attention. I didn't even realize what it was for awhile.

An easy project just now in January: Find either Sagittarius or Scorpius in the night sky. Any FEB in any part of the Earth can participate. I'm in favor of anyone becoming more familiar with the night sky. When the stars become familiar friends and you understand how they move, you gain...

A frequent claim you'll run across is that the constancy of the stars in our night sky is inconsistent with the Globe Earth Model. I'm not going into issues of distances, parallax, precession or proper motions of stars in this thread. I'm going to concentrate on two interwoven issues: - A...

A new YT video. The same old mistake. The assumption is that the Moon's shadow is circling the Earth. The author of this video borrowed a diagram explaining geostationary satellites. To keep pace with the surface of the Earth, the geostationary satellite has to orbit the Earth faster than...

You're right. There's a back and forth movement, which rules out clouds. Could you make a GIF of this? So far, I don't see the roof.
