Balloons are often tethered to strings. With an irregular shape like this, it's easily spun by the wind, and if its center of gravity is low with respect to the center of its volume (which is why the narrowest part is at the bottom), it's vertically stable even if it is not tethered.

Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol claimed late on April 11 that Russian forces used drone-delivered chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops in Mariupol on April 11.[16] Victims reported shortness of breath and ataxia. ISW cannot independently confirm these reports. However, DNR Defense...

I thought the point was to convince skeptics and not believers!

I mentioned time travel earlier, and how they're indistinguishable from aliens if you're using appearance and technological discontinuity as criteria. But if you're opening this up to other dimensions, best clarify what's an alien and what's a ghost/spirit. In my world view, talking about...

not really strange-looking object appears over crowded plave playing strange artificial sounds ticks off 1, 2, 5 and can very easily be hoaxed. An IR photo ticks 3. whatever the appearance is, it needs to tie in to the known world temporally and otherwise. If I am to accept it came from outer...

you've completely dropped the idea of context. The appearance has to have context, i.e. we want an idea where it came from, where it went, and we'd want several qualitatively different observations, e.g. a radar track along with the photographs. I'd want this appearance to be understood except...

I understand that for cluster munitions, the munitions get released from the warhead that then flies on. So to my lay understanding, the missile would actually overshoot the target? I don't know, exactly.

No, you just come off as someone who hasn't read my posts.

I don't see any proof of the trajectory, I do not know where Russian forces are, if these missiles need to fly straight (or whether they don't, to avoid anti-air batteries). Likewise, the serial numbers by themselves mean very little. If they're shipped in contingents of 25 each, they wouldn't...

It was written in Russian.

“Unfortunately I got stuck on the Earth for rather longer than I intended,” said Ford. “I came for a week and got stuck for fifteen years.” “But how did you get there in the first place then?” “Easy, I got a lift with a teaser.” “A teaser?” “Yeah.” “Er, what is…” “A teaser? Teasers are...

Officials at the plant explain the levels inside the room used by Russian soldiers are only slightly above what the World Nuclear Association describes as naturally occurring radiation. One-time contact would not be dangerous but continuous exposure would pose a health hazard. "They went to the...

Ukraine informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today that it had carried out the first staff rotation at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in three weeks and only the second since late February when Russian forces seized the site, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi...

You mean it's no longer perpendicular to the surface? (As long as you have that down, you're probably ok.) There may be trouble with the larger radius when looking at orbital or astronomical objects, e.g. a skylink train or a sunset (or Venus).

Russian forces bisected Mariupol from the city center to the coast on April 10, isolating the remaining Ukrainian defenders in two main locations—the main port of Mariupol in the southwest, and the Azovstal steel plant in the east. Several geolocated videos released by pro-Russian accounts on...

If it's not "close", it could be anything. And if it didn't show up on any radar, I'd expect it to be insubstantial. People have seen David Copperfield vanish the Statue of Liberty, but was it really gone?

It'd need to manoeuver or communicate. Communication would be great. Wouldn't even need to be "breakthrough", just be very much confirmed (ideally by receivers on separate continents) to be coming from outer space. I'd probably believe it, but it still needs a plausible context. Super easy to...

No. Because it also depends on how impactful the errors are. One error per page feels like it'd be ok for a newspaper, one headline error per page is concerning. A headline oversimplification isn't that bad if the article gets it right. Etc. My criterium isn't how many errors, it's whether the...
