Key to this fearmongering is the idea "but do we really know them", which works well regardless of whether it is true. For example, 1930s Nazi propaganda depicting jews as greedy powerhungry race bent on dominating decent people, even though everyone knew some jews and they were ok. The "some...

There's something weird that looks like a jump with the rightmost set of flares around 0:33.

It's been documented on this forum. Not an assumption.

If they had, they'd have reported it. The evidence we have is a) the word "flight deck" in the title b) the ATC announcement Considerations against: a) a word in the title isn't proof b) airline pilots aren't supposed to use their smartphones c) I don't understand why the announcement is heard...

Common sense thoughts: Covid is all over the world, in every single hospital. There is no conspiracy that big that can be kept secret, people always talk. We have TV footage of Wuhan, Italy, NY in 2020 and lots and lots of personal twitter stories. Again, a) authorities are elected, b)...

My thoughts; I haven't had a family member down the hole, just based on my online exposure to these problems. I wouldn't go to "battle" there. You recognize Jane is deep down the hole, unsettled by your family trauma, I don't expect she'll respond to rational argument. Identify and address her...

We had a thread on witnesses a few months ago, discussing some ways in which witness recollections become skewed, and what police ought to do to prevent that. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/the-scientific-weight-of-eyewitness-testimony.11929/ If you have witnesses who know other witnesses'...

The first thing to do in these cases is to mark down the day and the time, and then check on flightradar24 or similar for civil aviation. Narrowing down the date and time as much as you can would still be helpful. The next thing to check is for nearby airports, and possibly for streams of air...

I'd expect a heat shield, a propulsion/braking system, and an impact fire. Or a magic mana crystal.

Germany is not doing that great overall right now, so possibly this isn't a good example to follow. Measures vary by state, and over time. Typically, students get tested 3 times a week. My states mandates self-tests for 2 weeks after the winter holidays, before the kids leave the house in the...

Source: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QAm_hi5ERIo Russian cosmonaut Sergei Kud-Sverchkov on Tuesday published footage of the Moon setting filmed from the International Space Station (ISS). The video shows how the Moon gradually flattens and then completely vanishes in the dark. “Its reflected...

I don't generally look at the live feed. But you know how it looks? and you know the ISS is in a rather low orbit compared to the size of the Earth, so that live feed is pretty much what it looks like "zoomed out". 400 km = ISS altitude 12 700 km = diameter of Earth 380 000 km = distance to...

I haven't been able to independently verify this item: The Cass County Commission passed a resolution Friday which ended the enforcement of COVID-19 related measures and limited the authority of the county’s public health director. The resolution comes at a time when a growing number of health...

On the face of it, this isn't data about vaccine efficacy, it's about what hospitals were dealing with. "These findings echo the abundance of data demonstrating the effectiveness of currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines." I read this as, "we didn't really find anything surprising, but we'd...

The point has come up that labeling one set of results as "geometric" allows the inference that the refracted results are not geometric, although they are.

Graves says something like that happened. “The wedge formation was flying, let’s call it north, then they turned their return radius right into the other direction, which is how aircraft turn. We have to bite into the air. So they turn in the other direction and keep going. Meanwhile, the...

A hoax is an intentional fake. It doesn't look like that. It's a light in the sky (and a reflection in a window); then the camera pans, and a light that may be a reflection follows the pan and disappears on the pan back. Nothing in this video makes me think there's a UFO; why does the uploader...

The point is that we can't determine if the youtube hoaxer uploaded the video to mufon, or if it was someone else.

general rule of thumb is to go with what the authors write in the abstract (and get a second opinion for confirmation) and to be very wary when someone tries to read between the lines, that's usually misleading. What you do in a case like this is click through to the original source (it's easy...
