    Ron James UFO crashed UFO pictures

    since there was government money involved, can we call it a government database? and since it's not public, can we demand disclosure? ;) (turns out there's a secret government UFO database after all (and MUFON runs it))

    Streaks of Light in Night Photography

    I think the clincher is that the trail in the center and the trail in the lower right look similar. That strongly suggests camera motion.

    Source: Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ufo/comments/1dtrup0/ufos_captured_in_ozarks_national_forest/ This past weekend (6/28-6/30) I went on a fishing trip with my dad and brother on the Jacks Fork River in Eminence, MO. The 30mile float required us to camp on the river for two nights. The...

    when that happens to me (different browser/OS entirely), this helps: It's on the first page, too.

    Unidentified Objects/Balloons Intercepted by US aircraft

    There have been a number of aircraft gone missing over the years in Alaska, with no trace found. Not finding debris from a small balloon and an A/A missile is not surprising at all. (from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950_Douglas_C-54D_disappearance ) "But mendel", you say, "one of the...

    Claim: UFO's May Be Stealth Aliens Living in Caves, on the Dark Side of the Moon or Alaska

    basically why most TV/movie aliens look humanoid (which in turn shape the public imagination)

    Szydagis' point 3: Interstellar travel is too hard

    That's teleportation. I expect that reversing the flow of time directly violates the second and third laws of thermodynamics (about entropy increasing).

    Debunking Humor...

    They originally came here to try to investigate our chemtrail technology, and got increasingly frustrated when all their samples turned out to just be water ice with trace amounts of jet exhaust. https://xkcd.com/2953

    Szydagis' point 3: Interstellar travel is too hard

    no, you couldn't if you change spacetime such that you don't exist from Monday to Tuesday, then there is no "you" on Tuesday that existed through this time. The result of this time travel is one "you" on Tuesday either way, you can only change how it gets there.

    Szydagis' point 3: Interstellar travel is too hard

    you'd be indistinguishable except for your history nobody could prove you're not you that's why cars carry serial numbers

    Unidentified Objects/Balloons Intercepted by US aircraft

    Because buzzwords? The military's job is to fight other militaries, not amateur radio pico-ballloons. I feel they can be excused for not being able to identify non-threats, since it doesn't pertain to their core competence. Unless you want to foment fear and outrage; then scandalize away!

    It just means, "if I say they're from Oregon, nobody can prove me wrong". They're not doing science, they're doing belief confirmation.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    I agree. "For example, the Full Format RED DRAGON resolution is 6144x3160, which has an aspect ratio of 1.94:1." ( https://www.red.com/red-101/anamorphic-lenses ) Digital video does not require anamorphic lenses for wide image formats. I do not think they're panorama stitching artefacts...

    Presumably, the MUFON manual would say more. Instead, have some data: Source: https://de.slideshare.net/slideshow/2001-2009-report-summary-of-the-mufon-cms-historical-year-end-closed-case-statistics-by-geography-26435238/26435238 This report analyzes closed case data from the Mutual UFO...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    How would you recognize stitching artefacts in a mostly indistinct background? These do not look like stars: Yes, but the glow/glare has been cloned along with the beam? So why is the radius so small?

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    I'm talking about Cinemascope because that's the only standard aspect ratio I know where the long side is more than twice the length of the short side, as in the picture under discussion.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    New hypothesis: smartphone in landscape taking a "panorama" picture, i.e. a series of pictures stitched together by an algorithm. This could arguably produce the same type of rolling shutter effect, and might explain the rounded ends (but I have not checked)?
