    Eglin AFB UAP

    Compressing the levels on the IR image, we get the distinct impression that it's not a two-tone ball, looking more like a white sphere with a black "hat". We don't know if it's black hot or white hot. There's possibly some detail on the white part, but maybe just noise. The shape of the...

    Eglin AFB UAP

    AARO is not saying it's that particular type of balloon. Their assessment is only with "moderate confidence" and some of it seems a bit of a stretch. Although the pilot described the object as uniformly gray in the visible spectrum (it appears uniformly black from the viewing angle in the EO...

    1994 Nellis / Tonopah Test Range UFO (Sightings / Hard Copy)

    Marik suggested I put this one into Sitrec. I like that Peterson had a Sitrec-like recreation back in the 1990s It would be good to A) verify this, and B) extract more info, like size, and speed. At a minimum, I need the first frame for each unique AZ, EL, and RNG value. This should be in a...

    Site Updated

    I did a fairly significant site upgrade today, updating: Ubuntu (the server's operating system) from 20.0.4 LTS to 22.0.4 LTS PHP (the language used by the forum software, and a bit of Sitrec) from 7.2 to 8.3.6 Xenforo (the forum software) from 2.2.something to 2.2.16 This all should be good...

    Green Fireballs - UFOs or Meteors?

    Photo: Prasen Yadav Ufologists often like to make a connection between UFOs and nuclear power, and often quote historical incidents. A recent article by Marik Von Rennenkampff said: In late 1948, for example, dozens of pilots, defense personnel and scientists associated with the famed Los...

    I know. But I often move posts that are not quoting someone.

    Bugs and Suggestions for Metabunk.org

    I prefer to copy the BB code to make sure I get everything. The "moved" thing was just a temporary marker so you can find the old post again - I often move a post and then have trouble finding the original as it's no longer a new thread. So this was more of a suggestion. Non-moderators can't...

    Why are Starlink "Racetrack" Flares [Mostly] Reported from Planes?

    Funny think about that video: I realized after I made it that I'd mounted the flashlight the wrong way for landing lights. I'm mounting the light facing out, but it it were a plane it would be facing parallel to the motion, and so would flare earlier, moving first left and then right. Which...

    Iran's Drone and Missile Attack on Israel. April 13 2024

    The shortest distance from a point in Iran to Israel is over 1,000km. So only the Shahab 3 missile has the range. However they are also using "suicide drones" - i.e. UAVs - slower moving fixed wing drones.

    "Pyramid" UFOs in Night Vision Footage are Bokeh

    Asserting it's a PVS-14 is just a red herring, A) we don't know what the night vision device was, and B) it's obviously bokeh because of the stars.

    "Pyramid" UFOs in Night Vision Footage are Bokeh

    I'm sorry, I saw the description: Jeremy and George look back at some of the key moments from the past thirteen months, And then I heard what Corbell was sayin sounded exactly like what he said two years ago, so I assumed it was a recap using old clips. I guess it's more of a rehash! Still...
