    F-16 Pilot- Chris Lehto analyses Gimbal footage

    the subtitles are not primary evidence they're likely just what the person charged with providing the subtitles thought they heard since we can hear the same audio they did, the subtitles don't mean anything

    Pentagon June 2021 Report on 120+ UAP Incidents

    I'm sorry I'm a bit late to the party. When you have these options: 1) UAP identified a) originating from US gov't tech b) not originating from US gov't tech 2) UAP not identified then seeing a "vast majority" reported in group 1a) does not allow you to conclude that there are actually...

    Identifying this triangular UFO

    It looks like the green color is an artifact? possibly caused by the camera adjusting its white balance based on the red light and the reddish garage light that may be an incandescent bulb? and that adjustment makes a "white" white look greenish? turning a green tinge on a white light into a...

    Identifying this triangular UFO

    the ground, even if lit up by headlights, is much darker than the headlight itself like how, at night, the ground is darker than the moon, even though it is lit by the moon there is nothing strange about the light being visible from a distance but not the ground

    Hypothesis: Fravor's Tic Tac was Kurth's FA18

    4) it was a jet that didn't look like a jet normally does because of vapor obscuration if you look at Elizondo's identification cards, I don't think pilots are trained to identify aircraft that are partially obscured -- after all, there are few obstacles in the sky!

    Hypothesis: Fravor's Tic Tac was Kurth's FA18

    well, Fravor did see a Tictac with "feet", which would be the part of the jet not obscured

    Hypothesis: Fravor's Tic Tac was Kurth's FA18

    @Domzh do you have a source for the pictures?

    Hypothesis: Fravor's Tic Tac was Kurth's FA18

    I would like to know more about the meteorological phenomenon. Do we have more information on this? Your timeline posits that Kurth and Fravor were in the area at the same time because they witnessed the disturbance in the water cease. This is corroborated by Kurth sensing the both F-18s above...

    Debunking backfiring

    This is a good example of what I am talking about. Rational discourse simply fails here because you are turning what I am writing into something that fits your belief system, because you don't trust that a person could actually mean what I am writing. "people who don't believe conspiracy...

    My Chat With Luis Elizondo

    is that a euphemism for "clickbait"? :-p

    Debunking backfiring

    I hope we both agree that arguing with con men ("in it for the grift") is fruitless. Remain those who call themselves "truth seekers", but by their mindset are actually belief defenders. Rational discourse is a tool of truth seeking, and therefore it does not work on belief defenders; it can...

    Debunking backfiring

    How do you read "by engaging them" as "discourage non-believers from talking with you"? It literally means the opposite. Hevach is simply saying that you're not likely to change your mind as a result. (What would it take for you to change your mind on these issues?) Because they make money from...

    Debunking backfiring

    "Why do you want me to respond? Why is that important to you?" Find out the motivation. *Learn* why this CT is important to that particular person. What are they afraid of? What do they really need in their life right now, that the CT is a substitute for? "Does me responding or not change what...

    Debunking backfiring

    The Socratic method is a rhetorical device used to make a point, not to listen and learn. I would expect it to backfire just the same.

    Slow meteor at a distance

    Expectations matter. Humans are inclined to use their expectations to make sense of the world around them. Expectations are usually created from past experiences, and this kind of learning ability has helped humans conquer the world. So it's not surprising that amateur astronomers would not...

    UAP disinformation narrative

    The important question for me: is the UFO threat actually being used to promote Space Force expansion? That's what I want to see evidence for.

    How Was I Bunked To Begin With?

    I found this interesting: One such approach is to “prebunk” beforehand rather than debunk after the fact. In 2017, Sander van der Linden, a social psychologist at the University of Cambridge, and colleagues found that presenting information about a petition that denied the reality of climate...
