GABA ghoul posted:Just a couple of weeks ago police was combing the woods around Berlin searching for a loving lion after countless people suddenly started reported sightings of lions in the area. The population was even told to stay indoors for safety. All because some idiot uploaded a 3 second grainy video of a boar at night, filmed from a weird angle, that looked vaguely like a lion, if you squint real hard. I don't know what to tell you, mass hysteria is a real thing and it happens all the time around us. It's a fact of life. Sure when somebody uploads a video like the lion one that then goes viral and then subsequently you have a ton of reports, but when a lot of people see something at the same time, especially when they have no contact or knowledge of the other, mass hysteria is a dumb explanation.

From reddit: "The best UFO footage could be the greatest leak, totally not CGI we promise" https://i.imgur.com/EAdivEe.mp4 It's a loving pot lid. Someone found a very similar design on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Creuset-Signature-Enameled-Cast-Iron-Cookware/dp/B08X7J82NZ?th=1 Others noted how the camera doesn't even follow the UFO - almost like it's not even there and was added later.

Megillah Gorilla posted:From reddit: "The best UFO footage could be the greatest leak, totally not CGI we promise" It’s someone (the cgi enthusiast uploaded) recording a computer screen with a camera looking through a scratched piece of plastic. There is zero parallax going on when the UFO is behind the wing and the camera is moving, indicating that it is a flat 2D image being filmed.

Also notably despite the fact that there is supposedly a UFO right outside the window, absolutely no one in the plane is commenting on it or even seeming to show any interest.

I went back to the CARET (previously supposed to have been debunked) UFO case and thought I'd revisit it with AI. Interestingly the main illustration provided by the 'aliens' was called "Linguistic Analysis Primer". After using Google Image Search and then “Translate Text” I pulled the text from all the documented page images off this The "CARET" Program - Explanation for Drone UFO Sightings in California page.  Using ChatGPT to contextually fill in classified text in CARET UFO case

Sometimes when they confront the faker with the evidence they pull a Uri Geller and go "Well what I saw was real and what you found was clearly inspired by the aliens and therefore not only doesn't debunk my argument, it's further proof that I'm right!" Dr. Jerrold Coe posted:When someone found the exact model of garbage can lid that Billy Meier built one of his model UFOs out of, Billy said that the aliens had tried to telepathically send their beamship schematics to us, but chose the Germans right before WWII as their recipients and when the nazis were able to build a half-flyable UFO the horrified Pleiadians cancelled sending the full schematics. postwar, unrelated designers found the incomplete plans and made trash can lids out of them

XYZAB posted:This is actually pretty neat. Can it handle the Ramey memo? Hypothetically anything. The basic trick is to line up the character counts. Then get ChatGPT to figure out the most contextually filled meaning that should fit within the character counts. - In Chrome right click open on the redacted classified text document. - Click "Search Image with Google [New]" - Use Translate. - Paste the translated text into ChatGPT. - Line the text up with the line breaks so they're the same with the document character counts. - Fill in the missing text with dashes that amount to same character count as best as possible. - Wordsmith / word-jujitsu ChatGPT into guessing the best contextual fit for the redacted text.

Zefiel posted:Lol, ballsy. If we’re gonna post fakes even back then as a preteen I was surprised people were falling for this one: There's also been a bunch of people posting fakes for clicks, or trying to go viral on Reddit, or just being smugmos and trolling people to prove their gullibility. Way back in 2003 the UK TV station Channel 4 commissioned a fake UFO for a 'documentary' to see if they could fool people and get media attention, they hired some movie FX guys and some hot air balloon manufacturers and model aircraft pilots and spent three months working on a really complex steerable UFO which ended up being pretty lovely and the entire project was one clusterfuck after another. They still got a fair bit of media attention around the globe, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP6_Yg0p8G8 In 2009 two random dudes in New Jersey tied some flares to helium balloons and caused quite a panic. Eventually they confessed and a judge charged them with misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges which carried a small fine and 50 hours community service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cW8RsWNnKg A whole bunch of TV shows and UFO experts argued that the effect they caused couldn't possibly be manmade and had to be alien tech, lol

Yeah here's another recent CGI fake which made it onto the news. They were smart about it and coordinated a bunch of people to call the news station at around the same time and sent in several different videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEqZYWGYQrc They paid some random guy on fiverr to create the CG effects, lol. This poo poo is only going to get more and more common

What if there was an iron sun, and people went there to practice bloodcraft and BECOME aliens? Like a destination paradise with a tiny iron sun and a green sky, an extremely hot and distant supermassive black hole generated by fantasy. Like you wouldn't want to show up in a boring old flying saucer..
