For this reason I believe they were in either the upper atmosphere or in space. my guess https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL1445/history/20220811/2045Z/TIST/KIAD/tracklog 12510m = 41043 ft. The flight was performed uncharacteristically late that day, so the pilots would be...

you don't understand that this coincidence is mathematical if you have a curved flight path, it's very unlikely to be able to see it as a straight, level, constant-velocity motion. It's always possible to see a straight path as curved and variable. this is a mathematical certainty. so the fact...

Question: How certain are we that both witnesses were male? is that a confirmed fact, or a polite assumption on someone's part that made its way into the lore?

from Mick's starting post on the "original photo" thread: The image now resides in its new home at the Sheffield Hallam University folklore archives.

that might've been the end of the roll, and the object is said to have gone away after that the newspaper did that because that's what they had at hand? for newsprint use, some detail of the picture was going to get processed into much worse quality to be printed (click to enlarge). Are we...

presumably because the pod head gradually rotates, turning the presumed smear or scratches that transform the much smaller IR source into the Gimbal shape and ALL of that has been written before in this forum in this year, iirc

you're looking at a 180⁰ rotated image, the dark part is the reflection

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_F135 Diameter: 46 in (117 cm) max., 43 in (109 cm) at the fan inlet Maximum thrust: 28,000 lbf (128 kN) military thrust And its stealth construction means there's no direct line-of-sight into the turbine from behind. If we're looking for a...

My old camera let me reset the shutter by pushing the pin for rewinding to disengage the transport lever and then using it. However, I don't understand • how the marks on the UV filter could be in focus in the viewfinder • how a "white" aircraft shows up dark on the print • how you'd get a...

you are overestimating that, I think? but a F-18 isn't even the most likely jet to be in view, I believe, mostly because I expect the Navy would've been likely to identify one of their own aircraft even in hindsight.

fact checks are commonly done on controversial claims if your reporting is great, your claims won't be controversial

and also birds ;)

some politicians want to be able to conduct an election but then decide to send a completely different group, as chosen by their state government legislature whether the Supreme Court wants that will depend on how it decides Moore vs. Harper I'm actually more optimistic about that than you...

No. The MBFC reviews states that Neon Nettle had 1 "Pants on Fire" claim on Politifact and 2 "mostly false" claims on Snopes, as of 4 years ago. The New York Times do not have any false claims on Snopes that I could find, and their single "mostly false" claim on politifact was caused by a...

I created a new panorama for Observatori Fabra by looking for the location and then using the "closest peak" feature with the default 100 ft. radius. The resulting page gave me a permalink, https://www.heywhatsthat.com/?view=ETFFSWBJ , and a panoramic view. It also produced a google maps...

what happens is that we're hypothesizing about possibilities, and sometimes someone finds a way to support one and sometimes nobody does. That we're doing this is not concerning, but that we're still doing it after several days of intense discussion makes me feel this one isn't going to be...

that would require the election to be run in secrecy in several states, which is a tad unrealistic, and also plays off the electoral college but in Mick's example the simple fact that citizens who hadn't registered to vote, or who may have (unbeknownst to them) been struck from the register (I...

Google Drive has a bandwidth limit, I believe. (That's why I reposted the PDF as soon as I saw that link.)

autofocus in a 1990s chemical camera? automatic exposure, fine, but focus? twist the ring to stop at ∞ and you're set 20 minutes before (not after) sunset under an open sky is neither "dark" nor "twilight", and @NorCal Dave quoted the expert as stating the film could be exposed at 50 to 800...
