The debunks, the corrections, and the mundane explanation.
This looks like a small island or rock in a loch to me. The bottom of the diamond would be the reflection of the island in the water. If it was a misty morning, where the water ends and sky begins would be unclear.

Not trying to debunk "Nick Pope" - but what was his job exactly? I've heard it described as anything from "head of the Ministry of Defence UFO department" to "glorified clerical officer who filed things" and there does seem to be a general…
Please post any problems you find with the site in this sticky thread. I'll try to get to them, and I'll mark them as fixed as I go.
David Chandler has created a video for AE911Truth that, he claims, contains evidence for the sound of explosions at the WTC7. Here is the video, hosted by ae911truth: Skip the first 2 minutes with some other truther claims (Sunder; McPadden;…

Is there a way to force it to fit a camera location at a certain height (eg 5ft off the ground)? I am trying to fit the WTC video from a still frame but it is putting the camera 70ft off the ground (better than the 160ft it had initially!) This is…

If you subscribe to my newsletter, you know that I am currently in the process of writing a book proposal, which is why my blogging was light last week and probably will be for the next few weeks.
Not the debunking "of" humor....but humor that can be found in debunking. Here's one I posted today (I am sure there are others)....
Article: At around 9pm on the evening of Saturday, 4th August 1990, two men on a hillside near Calvine, a small hamlet situated just off the main A9 road, some 35 miles north-west of Perth in Scotland, managed to take six colour photographs of a…
This sighting, by a group of young children in a school in rural Zimbabwe in 1994, has never, to the best of my knowledge, been fully explained, or if it has, I can't find it.
In the X thread below I was trying to assist someone ID what appeared to be a flashing Geo sat. I played around with Sitrec for a while but struggled getting TLE sets to display, some did, some didn't.

While looking at the sky, contrail watchers often take interesting or pretty photos of clouds - even if it's not specifically about the contrails. This is the thread to post them in.

Historically, Sitrec was just updated whenever I added a bit of new code or fixed a bug. I'd just press some keys, and literally 60 seconds later it would be up and running on metabunk.org Over time, with the increased complexity, there was a…
I've moved Metabunk over to a new server. Hardware specifications are unchanged, but I essentially reinstalled the software from scratch, prioritizing user security. This includes changing SItrec to run from a container.
So, as skeptics, do you all have predictions about the UAP situation for the next two years? I'd guess it would be: 1. Grusch and other whistleblowers will fade away, with nothing coming of it. 2.
I have become convinced that one of the main efforts necessary to improve public an policy discussions is a "UAP Keys" document.
While you can screen-capture video, it's not always ideal, as playback can be jerky on slower machines, and the frame-rate will not match (e.g., 25fps will be recorded at 30).
Today most of the persistent contrails in my area seem to be quite dense and "puffy" or "woolly", like altocumulus cloud texture. Other days they are thinner, more hazy and more cirrus like. Does anyone know what factors affect this?

Astrometry.net often works very well for finding where in the sky we are looking, but is not great with frames from videos that are noisy or contain other moving objects.
I have seen that the Notes window [N] becomes uneditable after pasting a hyperlink. I usually link to the source report of the event I'm recreating, but this is often a number of places and can include links to news reports or NUFORC analysis.

Dr. Avi Loeb is an astrophysicist at Harvard University. Nobody is questioning his credentials as an astrophysicist, but his penchant for jumping to wild conclusions about UFOs (UAPs) has made him something of a joke among serious astronomers.

The Travis Walton "UFO abduction" back in 1975 is one of the best-known and most widely believed of all UFO cases. It was depicted in the movie Fire In The Sky . Serious researchers have known for a while that the case was a hoax .
