    Help to debunk: 737 flies backward

    Disagree, the twigs moving up in the frame means the car is driving towards the trees (and the lamppost goes out of shot). I expect the driver is moving down the parking lot before turning left and finally stopping. If this is near an airport, it's an easy observation to repeat.

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    The really scary stuff is here: That's why I'm waiting for Tuesday. :-) My guess is it'll be similar to last winter, but who knows?

    Debunked: FunVax, Pentagon Briefing on Removing the God Gene [Hoax]

    The DoD investing in bunk isn't exactly unprecedented. Channon imagined a new battlefield uniform that would include pouches for ginseng regulators, divining tools, food stuffs to enhance night vision, and a loudspeaker that would automatically emit "indigenous music and words of peace." In...

    Does the beginning part of Gimbal debunk the claim that the object rotates?

    Mick already explained that the pod shares the rotation with the aircraft. Think about it like this: if the aircraft rotates 360⁰, everything ends up in the same place, so the pod can't be any faster or slower than that. If you twiddle a stick, it doesn't matter if you grasp it in the middle or...

    Does the beginning part of Gimbal debunk the claim that the object rotates?

    That's the key takeaway for me. - Aircraft roll affects the angle of the UAP shape vs. the "camera lens". - Derotation affects the angle of the screen vs. the "camera lens". If the UAP itself is elleptical, then the aircraft roll should affect the UAP shape on the screen (same as it affects...

    Claim: 75 Deaths of athletes in Five Months are Because of COVID-19 vaccines

    Yeah, they were very thorough, lots of numbers. The researchers used data from the Danish health system, which means they had very good coverage. However, it means they were only able to track hospitalised cases of myocarditis or pericarditis (but non-hospitalized cases are likely to follow the...

    Gimbal Blender Simulation with Clouds

    IIRC from the rocket thread, the clouds in that direction were not broken.

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    Here's how some of the non-RNA vaccines are performing against Omicron: Dec 23 (Reuters) - A three-dose course of AstraZeneca's (AZN.L) COVID-19 vaccine is effective against the rapidly-spreading Omicron coronavirus variant, the pharmaceutical company said on Thursday, citing data from an...

    Gimbal Blender Simulation with Clouds

    Why? The wind speed affects everything equally ( Navy aircraft, clouds, UAP), so it cancels out.

    Gimbal Blender Simulation with Clouds

    The display shows a calibrated air speed of 241-242 knots, and Mick converted that to 350 knots true air speed. Thank you!

    Gimbal Blender Simulation with Clouds

    This obviously depends on your assumption that the observing aircraft moves at 350 knots. How did you arrive at that? Your scenario 5 puts the UAP at ~30 nm; what does that tell us about its size?

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    To me, it looks like the recent uptick in deaths on your graph is due to the Omicron uptick. We can expect relatively fewer deaths with Omicron than with Delta, but many more Omicron cases, so.... Dec 31 update from...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    1. Deaths are on a delay (16 days for Australia), the world uptick was only 10 days ago. 2. Compared to 2020, we have vaccinations now, and better treatments which is why the case fatality rate shrunk.

    It looks like SA managed to quickly reverse this trend. Two weeks later, and the US is overtaken (plus/minus amount of testing in each country). The uptick in deaths in Australia lags the uptick in cases by 16 days. Source

    Sylmar High School ghost (2013)

    The background is full of moving people, I think you overestimate what peripheral vision can do under these circumstances. I make the reaction time to be about 1/4 second, which is average. And "sensed his presence" is a weird way to express "noticed the runner" or "saw the runner".
