    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    The downing of MH-17 is a striking parallel, here's the original TASS item: DONETSK, July 17. /ITAR-TASS/. The mlitia of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) have brought down a military transport Antonov-26 (An-26) plane of the Ukrainian Air Force on the outskirts of the town of...

    Study: The Effect of watching CNN instead of Fox News

    Yes. My use of "lack of care" means "lack of care for the truth"; those who do not care for truth care for other things, like political influence or their bottom line (or both). If I wanted to learn the truth, why would I turn to them?

    What evidence of aliens would convince skeptics?

    To elaborate on that: I want astronomers to report they've found an object approaching Earth. I want NASA (or another agency) to report they've tracked it. I want video from locations NASA has tracked it to that are detailed/not blurry blobs/not in the low information zone (LIZ) I want...

    Study: The Effect of watching CNN instead of Fox News

    To me, corrections indicate that an organisation cares about publishing truth; lack of corrections indicate a lack of care. Everyone makes mistakes now and then, that's unavoidable in a deadline-driven business such as news reporting. How the news organisations deal with them matters. Printing...

    Multiple UFOs near Southampton airport (2005)

    I thought maybe there were vehicles operating below the camera on the taxiways, or maybe on the grounds (e.g. mowing the lawn), and their headlights somehow reflected into the camera enclosure. Since this isn't a public camera, and the video is old to boot, that's going to be difficult to...

    What evidence of aliens would convince skeptics?

    The irony is that you have these other guys who think the moon landing is CGI... :p I chose my Buran expedition video precisely because it is hard to CGI. I had looked at airliner "cockpit tour" videos that either had no humans in them, or looked like they could've been greenscreened. The...

    Study: The Effect of watching CNN instead of Fox News

    I know what he said. @WhistlingWinds criterium is "solely or mostly" push out misinfo. In simplified language, he would "ditch" someone who lies more than they tell the truth. My criterium is "regularly" and "unabashedly", i.e. with no correction, publish misinformation. I would ditch someone...

    NYT: GIMBAL Video of U.S. Navy Jet Encounter with Unknown Object

    You mean because the clouds update 29.97 times per second and the HUD data only 5 times per second? That 30 fps is better than 5 fps?

    Explained: UFOs over Melbourne April 2022 [Roulettes Aerobatic Planes]

    You may need to fiddle with your contrast settings, but I can see the tail fins offset brightly against the sky. Kudos to @JMartJr @Mick West for finding such a close match!

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    ISW reported little activity today, and instead posted on the difficulty inherent in judging Russian power from uncertain losses, morale issues, and problems returning withdrawn units back to battle. They also rolled out a map depicting the Kherson front:

    Multiple UFOs near Southampton airport (2005)

    You found no NOTAMS. Since that site has no NOTAMs for that airport for all of 2005, and no NOTAMs for that year for Luton (EGGW) either, I expect 2005 is simply not in that database. In that case, your search result has no meaning.

    Study: The Effect of watching CNN instead of Fox News

    I disagree. Mixing actual facts in with the misinformation is no excuse. Regularly pushing false material, and failure to announce corrections when they do, should be ample cause to drop a source. It's established that false information, even if proven false, lodges in our minds, and can...

    Explained: UFOs over Melbourne April 2022 [Roulettes Aerobatic Planes]

    You were seeing distant dark shapes against a bright sky. These shapes are not disc-shaped from the direction you saw them; you think you saw the disks from the side, but it's really not easy to identify a shape from an oblique angle, especially if you can't see it clearly. It's an established...

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    The international response to Russian atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine, likely distracted the Kremlin from threatening rhetoric in response to Poland’s offer to station US nuclear weapons in Poland. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kacyznski stated on April 2 that Poland would like the United...

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    Ukrainian forces continued to hold out against Russian assaults in areas of southwestern and eastern Mariupol as of April 8. The Ukrainian Mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushenko, issued a statement on April 8 denying Russian claims that they captured central Mariupol on April 7.[5] Andryushenko...

    Multiple UFOs near Southampton airport (2005)

    why would aliens have "headlights", yet not show themselves? These kinds of observations are never obvious. Common sense says whoever lights up like this doesn't mind being seen, but the aliens clearly do—I haven't seen any yet.

    NYT: GIMBAL Video of U.S. Navy Jet Encounter with Unknown Object

    I understood the coincidence to be that the pilots looked for Graves's 10nm object (which seems not have existed) and found the 30nm GIMBAL object instead (because a camera can't tell range). Coincidence? Sure, maybe even rare, but we also don't have a lot of these reports, so rare makes sense.

    Russian state run media calling for genocide?

    It all depends on what you're looking at, compare https://www.metabunk.org/threads/need-debunking-us-ukraine-oppose-un-resolution-condemning-nazism.12301/ and https://www.metabunk.org/threads/ukraine-national-guard-dip-bullets-in-pig-fat.12304/ . That said, there aren't really that many...
