Denial and deception (D&D) is a Western theoretical framework[ for conceiving and analyzing military intelligence techniques pertaining to secrecy and deception. [...] In the D&D framework, denial and deception are seen as distinct but complementary endeavors. Denial most often involves...

I expect "actual phenomenon" refers to something physical.

Maybe the Swedish investigators made that cut?

thousands of bad reports somehow produce good evidence sounds like monkeys on typewriters to me which ones? how does he rule out sensor glitches?

When Jules Verne wrote his journey to the moon, the French thought, Il n'est pas impossible que le voyage soit possible, mais il est possible que il soit impossible. It's not impossible that it's possible, but it's possible that it's impossible. That's the kind of guarded optimism I believe we...

Really? which ones? he doesn't point to any in that paragraph, and the best footnote I could find is a Scientific American opinion piece that lacks any reference to 'definitive evidence': ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,’ Better Known as UFOs, Deserve Scientific Investigation UAP represent...

not many who'd read Jules Verne or Kepler

There's a German word called "Technologiegläubigkeit", which denotes an almost religious faith in the potential of technology, and Szydagis exhibits it here. (As did everyone who refused to think about long-term storage of nuclear waste.) He also demonstrates his unfamiliarity with relativity...

I don't recall any evidence in that article, do I need to read it again? But I will tell you that we have definitive evidence that “The Phenomenon,” whatever it is, is real and worth studying.What "definitive evidence" is he referring to? Let us start with some nuts and bolts by, for example...

Time travelers is my favorite alternative explanation for every UFO sighting.

Szagis's meaning doesn't fit in any conceivable way what the monkey theorem is actually about. His point would have been stated better if he had left it out.

You do that by pointing at the elephant in the room that Szydagis conveniently overlooked: There is no good evidence of UFOs. Why not? There's a simple answer to this ("there are no UFOs") and a bunch of answers that remind me of a kid caught with their hand in a cookie jar, i.e. they're all...

Nitpicks [...] (1) is a variant of monkeys typing Shakespeare. Giving many human beings cameras, even decent cameras, does not make them all great photographers.Compare:The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of...

That's actually a happy thought: if anything you can detect with the eye can be identified by a photograph, the LIZ will effectively no longer matter for amateur UFO reports. We're not there yet, but that's the future. Military can use radar for detection, but I have a feeling that, if there...

The "most common criticisms", according to this article, are: (1) Cameras continue to improve in resolution, but there is still no good image or “smoking gun” video of UAP. Doesn’t that “prove” that this is all nonsense? (2) “It’s curious that Asia and Africa have so few sightings despite...

if the thread is to focus on the article topic, maybe move to "Open Discussion"?

The Defence Ministry also said the crash was caused by an engine fire. Interfax quoted the local emergencies ministry as saying five floors of the apartment building were on fire and the upper floors had collapsed. This Su-34 crash kinda fits the 9/11 forum just as well as the Ukraine forum...

Mick, 2013: Mick, 2017: Take your pick. ;) P.S. I believe the 2017 Mexico thread is our best discussion of these so far. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/explained-mexico-city-earthquake-lights-power-line-arcing-and-transformer-explosions.9044/

if there are pictures from this camera that show the stars, somebody has posted them on the internet and commented on them. If you can't find that on Google, it probably doesn't exist. The ISS doesn't move around, and I believe the camera is fixed—but that's another fact that's probably online...
