I think the nature of this phenomena is such that we will never get absolute confirmation and definitely not from the US fucken' government (although it depends what you mean by absolute confirmation - after all, you've actually seen one with your own eyes, which is a lot more than I have!)

Here's a weird one - I've noticed an uptick (or perhaps am just more cognizant of it lately) in what, to me, appear to be obvious bot or trollfarm accounts shitposting underneath notable Ufological figures. For example, this firstname stringofnumbers lastname account I found the other night drive-by posting at Diana Pasulka using the name and profile picture of the former head of the East German secret police lol.  It's an interesting mental exercise to try and come up with a list of actors or groups that would even bother to focus smearing such a niche interest or group of folks, and something I'm tempted to look into further. Greenstreet that you?

I was blown away to see you can clearly view Jupiter's satellites with nothing but binoculars.

SpaceGoatFarts posted:Long ago while Jupiter was in the sky, very close to earth, a buddy handed me a pair of binoculars and told me to point them at Jupiter. You can see a couple of them with the naked eye if it's an extremely clear night and you know how to look around your blind spot. Similarly, you don't need that powerful a telescope to image the rings of Saturn. I can't remember the specs on the thing but a guy I know brought some scope to the park some years back and let people look through it; you could clearly see the separation between the rings and the planet body. My camera's 600mm telephoto lens, plus a little bit of digital zoom, sees the planet as a pronounced ellipsoid - not quite seeing the separation of the rings but definitely that they're there. I think it's wild that we're still discovering new moons of Jupiter. Just a month ago they discovered 12 more, which puts the count at like 90.

Yeah the wild intensity of that week punctuated by the shutdown feels like the loudest confirmation that Something's Up of the last few years, and despite all the flirting with outright confirmation and an increasingly engaged public nobody's losing their minds about it. fuckin the cow's out of the barn, just show us the cow debris, we promise not to poo poo ourselves

Asproigerosis posted:Anyone talk about how actually the US military is a clownshow of incompetence where they got owned by the gyna balloon and followed it up by going sicko mode on a couple weather balloons because they have no idea what they are doing and overcompensated? I'm pretty sure they were ordered to start shooting down weather balloons after a few days of media coverage that was all "why don't we shoot everything down all the time?". Military leadership most likely didn't want to do it because it's monumentally expensive to fly jets and launch ordinance, and if we made it the standard reaction, we would be burning through mountains of resources to accomplish what, exactly? Would be funny if we decided to shoot all balloons down forever and you could force us to waste millions by buying, inflating, and releasing weather balloons.

How much parallax in planetary position is there by geographical location? What I mean is that all of those reports about 'two parallel lights stationary in the sky' seemed to come from around the same place, no? So if they are indeed Saturn and Venus, would you not see the same thing looking into the sky from the East coast? Or is there actually an appreciable change in perspective of the solar system based on where you are on Earth (I'm obviously talking about more than just being in the opposite hemisphere). EDIT: Nvm, there are repies in the Twitter thread saying they can see the same thing from the other side of the continent. Question stands though, is there appreciable parallax for any objects relatively close to Earth, based on your geographical location? Mister Speaker has issued a correction as of 20:43 on Mar 2, 2023 |

Every time in my life when I saw a very bright stationary light low in the sky at dusk it was always Venus. 100% of the times.

Mister Speaker posted:How much parallax in planetary position is there by geographical location? no. the distance to Venus is much larger than the diameter of the Earth, it would not be a measurable effect. distance to Saturn many times larger still.

There's no credible evidence Venus even exists, let alone can be seen with the naked eye. I regret to inform you that every time you think you have seen Venus, that you have actually been probed.

I noticed the whole series started popping up on torrent tracker sites today, I guess after the final episode aired. Hopefully just mentioning availability doesn't break any  rules.As someone with only a passing interest in the subject it was a really good intro to the state of modern UAP research and the kind of thing I could share with people without going down the woo  route that watching any kind of Youtube video on the subject inevitably leads to.
