Let's do another.

I have a piece of art displayed in my room. I encourage you all to attempt to see it.

I want everyone to have plenty of time to view it, so I'll post a picture of the item in question Friday evening.

Godspeed and good luck.

this is appropriate for other threads, too, but thinking about all of the unexplained sightings people have mentioned here and elsewhere, I'm pretty determined to make an all-sky camera that anyone can put together in less than half an hour for less than US$50 and just set and forget. now i just have to play the waiting game on the lenses i ordered from aliexpress. I might have to custom make a few parts, so i would definitely do a limited run Bird Watchers edition.

ive recently cut down on my weed budget(bought a vape so i consume less) so ping me when you get it up and running and i'll buy a set.

You're all wrong enough that i would call it a comprehensive miss across the board:



The object i put in was this piece of dry orange peel. At best i guess nmh got closest, but it's still so vague as to not be uh "actionable." Still a miss, but much closer, enough that it's kinda wierd.


BUT! Riot bimbo posted this:

lettuce zoom out


Hm, we did get some keyword yellow hits, coincidentally that green cup has some seeds in it, bla bla bla. Imo still no hits. I think that riot bimbo's submission is detailed enough to analyze it "adversarially" and build a case claiming non-psi leakage or cold reading or something.

Okay I'm calling you out, I was kind of correct. I didn't actually see a hole in the shape i saw and kind of translated it into a hair tie, but it was an uneven round shape(as an explosion expanding) that was fire-like in color. :colbert:

I saw it but didnt understand what it was!

(Only crux is i might have seen it before you started the RV challenge. BUT DOES THAT REALLY MATTER? also couldve been time difference as Im in europe and I mightve seen it AS YOU WERE POSTING but I don't have time to check timestamps now, gotta run)

quick edit; I'm declaring this INCONCLUSIVE on the basis of "I know what I saw".

Yeah I mentioned you as pretty close but still calling it a miss. I'll believe in rvs when I see some hard hits that could give actionable info & not justified after the fact mumbo jumbo some brain genius says is a "perfect" "match" like the vid CIA guy.

I put the peel in directly before posting the experiment.

i thought about it as i went to sleep but then had a quite vivid dream about discovering body parts and a murder scene under a house and thought that would be a bit of a bummer to post and you probably didnt put them there anyway

I'm not into the psychic stuff at all but couldn't help but take a quick guess just before the reveal.

There's no way to prove this obviously since I didn't post but I did think of an orange, and then immediately had the thought that they'd never have picked that since it wouldn't keep for the duration of the exercise. haha.

What's the link between all this psychic stuff and UFOs? Sounds fun, but it just doesn't grab my interest as much as overanalysing shaky videos of balloons and drones. To be clear, I'm not pooh-poohing the discussion, I just want to know enough to follow it!

There's no good new UFO footage so instead we get to speculate that the hypothetical ETs might also be hypothetically psychic and they are hypothetically also chilling with allah on the astral plane.

yeah uaps supposedly have a psychotronic aspect where they're able to not only modify the nukes and target locks but the mental state of humans, possibly thru esp maybe psi is real or some poo poo. A lot of reports have people get weird emotions or missing time or whatever, it'd be interesting to see if that's held up in the uap era with pilots getting zonked out or anything.

I mean even our primitive science can induce sensations and feelings by jabbing some electricity at the right places.
Assuming that at least most of sensory experiences are an interplay of meat and electricity, it not unreasonable to assume a sufficiently intelligent species figuring out how to gently caress with the meat and currents

Could you expand on how things felt off beforehand, and/or surreal when it appeared?

Sorry, I'm doing the thing where I really want as much detail and, I dunno, "flavour", as possible, but that's only because it's so cool to speak directly, one on one, with someone who saw something.

Dang on the rv experiment. I gotta say i like trying even if it's totally bunk. Worst case letting the subliminal mind have a go at drawing intuitive guesses is fun; if theres anything more to it (i still regard this as likely) it's even cooler

Me too, I don't particularly buy it but at the same time, being wrong would be incredibly awesome. People come a lot closer on some of these than I'd imagine pure random chance would suggest they could but maybe the statistical chances of guessing random objects in drawers are also unintuitively high or something

approaching RV from an actual miltary POV I feel like some sort of solid reference would help and is likely something the spies provided their viewers

"here is a map of Iran, here are the sattelite pics, we really really have a burning need to know whats in buildings A, B and C. here is another map showing you and the targets waaaay over there"

burd threads goes at this could have latched onto anyone putting anything anywhere instead of the actual target

Yeah, the last time this thread did anything I read the post and immediately thought of a spoon, but didn't post because the whole thing seems insane. Then it turned out to be a fork or something, so I've been paying attention here.

I do think that more info on these would be helpful in running these experiments without them being random guesswork,.time, place, general location, etc., but I don't understand even the theory on how this is supposed to work.

The other night i had a very vivid dream where i had to sneak into a skyscraper in the middle of the night, to secretly retrieve something from an office. It was on floor 19 but the elevator went to floor 24 instead. so i tried to go to 19 again, and instead the elevator went back to the lobby...and then right when it was about to stop it fell, for like 20 stories, into a secret underground ...base? :tinfoil:

Then i hit the ground and woke up. Last night i wanted to return and explore that creepy underground place, and when i woke up i did feel like i had done something memorable in a dream, but I couldn't remember what.

stop playing with my mind radar

whats in the base

is 19 the real aitee

is tupac really dead

Whoever wants to run the next experiment (I would but it’s too cold to go outside and do my idea so later maybe). Setup your target, then do your best imitation of calming and centering yourself however that looks, and write down a random 6 number digit while looking at your target. Come back here and give just that 6 digit number and see what the RV crew can cough up meditating on your number.

If we do another experiment lets do this for real. I am not sure we can organize a double blind esp. not with low to middling effort, but we can up our game a bit and discuss interference reduction in procedure and set up multiple targets with unique objects/settings with different users, to be set up according to agreed procedure. Someone that is not participating besides can assign objects to volunteer setters?

Using an example type we should not use: A pencil between two candles in a cupboard.

Some degree of setting detail is needed, but it cannot bias the object. In this case, would describing the exterior be ok? Pictures of said? Maybe even the room, or house if goons are comfortable with that (probably a bad idea tbh)

Just throwing it out there
