Yes, I reviewed local TV listings for several months on either side of the sighting and wrote up my findings here: https://gideonreid.co.uk/demystifying-zimbabwean-newspaper-and-television-content-available-to-the-children-of-ariel-school-in-september-1994/ I also corresponded with Dr Euan...

Experiencer is a term used to describe someone who believes they have had direct contact with aliens. In Nickerson's case he believes he was repeatedly abducted and experiemented on by aliens from an early age. It doesn't necessarily mean experimentation, but rather contact (which need not even...

There's some speculation about what that might have been in this separate thread: 1994 NASA STS-64 Mission & Lights Seen in the Sky Over Africa. An experiencer and former patient of John E. Mack, and a subject of Budd Hopkins, who was given access to Mack's archive material to tell the story...

Oriana's drawing always reminds me of the Polkaroo from Polka Dot Door, a kids program that was airing on terrestrial Zimbabwe TV at the time. Not to preempt Charlie's responses to Duke's questions above but Randall Nickerson didn't include any of Dallyn's actual sighting details in that...

As with every other interview associated with the Ariel School sighting this is a disappointing poorly conducted interview. Harald clearly hasn't done his homework. He assumed Dallyn had said he'd seen aliens - he never did so on the record and had only talked about flashing lights. He claimed...

I was mulling over this recent quiz question that used a purposfully low quality blurry image so as to make Reverse Image Search hard or impossible to use. I'd convinced myself that that it showed a small white dog curled up in a basket under a tree. But when I eventually found it I was...

Not that it's visible in #38 but I see that Passing Places have their own OSM Tag & unique identifier. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpassing_place

The Bellingcat tool did quite well (without coding) at giving back results that used just three features: road, river, and cemetery within 20m (assuming you had a hunch it was Scotland) - however like Whatiswhere it didn't pick up the correct cemetery but one further along the valley in...

https://www.whatiswhere.com/?page=help has a slightly easier negative condition structure. See example 11 on the help page.

Lots of good (if incorrect) guesses.

This might be very easy or quite challenging... Where exactly did I take this photo today?

Just came across this illustration in a 1954 edition of Saucerian. Note the Adamski-esque UFO top and a similar 'flying saucer' shape bottom.

Update to #1 I asked the National Archives where the video title and description came from and after a bit of back and forth where they at first indicated they may have come from Defense Visual Information Distribution Imagery agency (DVIDS) - they didn't - NA managed to find the Master Card...

Me too. Also reminiscent of Aerocene balloons. https://aerocene.org/

Another great book of that era is Visitors From Outer Space by Roy Stemman (1975) - memorably illustrated by Chris Foss. It has a page on throwing stuff in the air to create that perfect UFO snap. Interestingly it's now in the National Archives as part of the Roswell Report Source Files...

Isn't discussion of this photo a "UFO & Aliens" topic rather than Skydentify? It's a famous UFO picture that's been claimed to be a possible alien device for decades. From the Usborne book of UFOs Circa 1970:

Just a visual reference using the coordinates and range from the DTIC report to show where the film was shot. They say it came down close to the target centre (blue pin marker) near to Ascension Island.

There's a thread here: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/explained-video-of-vandenberg-ufo-shooting-down-icbm-reenactment.11883/#post-253419

Yes, and the description is misleading since it appears to refer to the UFO of the film title - but doesn't. I think this is a general problem of archiving where the keyworder doesn't have even basic tools available to caption images or verify the accuracy of descriptions provided to them. For...

I think it's more to do with how the National Archives is keyworded. The report on the missile test includes the words "origin or identification could not be determined" and so someone (perhaps quite recently) has slapped a "Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) Sighting" title on the record and a...
