Ratios and Tendency posted:What'll be your angle I've been thinking about doing deep dives into the backgrounds of notable recurring characters in the paranormal sphere but I'm not sure if that's been done before - folks like Harold Puthoff, quantum Jiu Jitsu sensei Corbell and the guy behind UAPTheory come immediately to mind. I've been enjoying Our Strange Skies and appreciate that they mostly seem like normal-ish people with decent senses of humor willing to entertain the idea of wild rear end poo poo and feel like that's underrepresented in the sea of insufferable weirdos this stuff attracts. e: lol kloutchasing snipe

heres a post about a ufo encounter i had that i posted in pyf but was asked to post here also, i didnt know there was a ufo thread juggalo baby coffin posted:idk if this is the right thread for it, but i have a photo of a UFO i saw a couple of years ago. I've seen 3 or 4 UFOs in my life, one during the daytime which I'm pretty sure was some kind of experimental human drone or plane that I couldn't identify, and two at night which were just oddly behaving lights moving too rapidly and in too strange a pattern to be either a helicopter or a plane

Thank you op! What color was the light, and can you give a general idea of where you were? Doesn't have to be anything more specific than state/province/whatever

It kinda looks like a cluster of bubbles, which got me all of one hit on NUFORC NUFORC posted:Heavy thunderstorm in area (rare event) sky was clear but gray, light rain but sounds of thunder. Object looked like a cluster of bubbles, it was still just hovering but spinning towards my right. It was dark metal grey, no lights or other movement or noise . I got chills and looked away and went back indoors because i got the chills from being startled by such object. Obviously not a great match, but the bit about it being during a storm made me wonder if what you saw wasn't something akin to ball lightning. It doesn't need a storm to happen, and there are a small amount of reports of luminous bubbles that may be a related phenomena. Doesn't explain why it only apparently emitted light your eyes could register, though. poo poo's weird

WEH posted:Honestly stumped, it's not like anything I've come across. It kinda looks like a cluster of bubbles, which got me all of one hit on NUFORC since checking the photo ive been a lot more weirded out by the incident than i was at the time. at the time it was just a light that i felt was looking at me. the sensation of being observed was quite strong, but i also kind of wrote it off as me like, overreacting mentally to something weird i was seeing. It was very far away from me, basically on the horizon for it to be able to dip behind the trees at the opposite side of the reservoir, so it had to be quite large and quite bright. from my perspective it seemed to be moving in a kind of curly-q, figure-8ish pattern, left and right. i don't know how it was moving on the Z axis, although it could have been coming forward and backwards because it did seem to change in luminosity, but the light hid whatever shape was behind it ive always had an interest in UFOs, but ive also always been skeptical about whether they're aliens or not. I'm very interested in all the government black projects and secret planes and drones and such. so when I saw this I was like well, maybe the government is just flying around some kind of new vehicle or something. the UK is absolutely covered in air bases, and its a small country so you are never far from one. when it stopped and 'looked' at me i felt its stare and i was kind of worried i was in trouble, like what if i'd taken a picture of something classified and was gonna be in trouble for spying or something. but like seeing the picture casts the experience in a different light, literally. is there any spectrum of light that our eyes can see that cellphones can't? did it shine a light into my brain somehow? the light was bright and clear, instead of being kind of muted by the haze in the air like the big lights on cranes and tall buildings from the same reservoir, but that could also just be because of how bright it was

It seems to be a pretty pervasive thing where people describe their mind being affected. Like they'll be unnaturally calm, feel like they're being watched, mind-blank; where they'll go about what they were doing and not think much of it despite it being a highly weird situation etc.

Clearly I got the scale mixed up, that's way too large for ball lightning. Feeling uneasy/observed is definitely par for the course. quote:but like seeing the picture casts the experience in a different light, literally. is there any spectrum of light that our eyes can see that cellphones can't? did it shine a light into my brain somehow? the light was bright and clear, instead of being kind of muted by the haze in the air like the big lights on cranes and tall buildings from the same reservoir, but that could also just be because of how bright it was The only thing I can think of would be a laser, but if it were that far away I would assume the beam would be wide enough to illuminate both your eyes and your camera, especially if you held it up in front of you to take the picture. Laser light is also distinctive visually, though I haven't had the opportunity to get hit by one from long range so maybe thats different

Feeling uneasy/observed is definitely par for the course. if it was right behind the trees at the edge of the reservoir it would have been about a kilometer away from me, based on where i was standing. i got the sense that it was further away than that, but thats as close as it could possibly have been

People going back to what they were doing and not thinking about their experience for however long is very common. juggalo baby coffin posted:if it was right behind the trees at the edge of the reservoir it would have been about a kilometer away from me, based on where i was standing. i got the sense that it was further away than that, but thats as close as it could possibly have been that sucker is indeed big then WEH has issued a correction as of 01:01 on Aug 10, 2021 |

all that would be required to explain the light not showing up would be the light source moving or blinking in a manner which allowed the picture to be taken at a moment when the light wasn't shining on the aperture, I think

Could it have been something like this that got loose? Imagine that would look a lot like bubbles with light shining through them.

it was moving fast as gently caress so i dont think it was any type of buoyancy related craft, and the light was super bright and a different colour from the sun

Balloons can look really weird in the right lighting conditions - I posted a photo in the thread of some "UFOs" that I'm certain were balloons - but if it was moving fast then who knows. Cool sighting!

I didn't bother with this Underwood tic-tac interview because of Corbell-san but it's actually worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKbYwwwePTQ I wonder if you could calculate the speed exhibited by the tic-tac based on the maximum tracking speed of his FLIR+how fast it moves off screen.
