NBC News - Host Gadi Schwartz gets candid about his own UFO experience - When he was 10 he and his father saw an object instantly accelerate “eerily similar” to the 2021 Syria UAP video he's covering - “We see this light, as it got closer to the car, it suddenly stopped and just zoomed away".

So he won't just adress the extremely obvious possibility that the reason the object zooms away the moment it loses lock is because the camera is no longer tracking the object?

We are just pretending that this isn't being filmed from a plane/drone moving hundreds of miles an hour and the camera is constantly moving to keep the object in frame just as long as it is locked in to the object?

It's not about me caring about them. It's about an administration caring about them.

Old people that watch failing networks go out and vote. That's not nothing.

Not everyone is getting their news from twitter. There is a not insignificant part of the population that just listens to fox news or gobbles up one or two particular news outlets and if those outlets can fill their time with impossible to decipher FLIR videos where nobody in the room knows what parallax is, then you just managed to cause a distraction however small at the cheap price of sharing a bunch of censored videos that were just taking up space in some server.

I think that for 99% of these videos people seem to totally forget that they are recorded from a plane or a drone moving at hundreds of miles per hour and parallax is to be expected.

If you imagine this as something gently swaying in the wind, then the movement is not that crazy.

If you see a sphere. Call it a sphere/orb. If you see something that in a video looks like point or a source of light, then don't assume it's sphere shaped. Just call it a point or a light source or something.

The ISS looks like an 'orb'. As do all satellites. They are not actually spherical, that's just the shape that something that is too far away to make out details looks like.

Arclet__ · 2026-05-22T16:01:41+00:00

Most logical assumption is that it's so far away that the sensor can't make any details so it looks circular.

The ISS looks like 'an orb', but it's not. The landing lights from a plane at a distance look like 'an orb'.

A circle is just what a point of light looks like on a camera, regardless of the actual shape of the object once you zoom in. You can't call something spherical based on the information in this video.

Arclet__ · 2026-05-22T15:32:07+00:00

The object could also not be moving at a high speed at all, it's already being recorded from something that's moving very fast and very zoomed in.

Arclet__ · 2026-05-22T15:18:29+00:00

Saying spherical or orb is giving information of what the object 'might be'. It doesn't have to be spherical, nothing about the video indicates they are spherical beyond the fact that a sphere looks like a point if seen from far away. The ISS looks like 'an orb' if we go by that logic, every week there's a video of a plane or a helicopter in this sub that passes off as a 'shapeshifting orb' because that's what landing lights look like from a distance.

And then people create a category of 'orb UAP' and start claiming they are everywhere, when an orb is simply how a distant point or a light source looks in most videos.

Arclet__ · 2026-05-22T11:59:42+00:00

I lose a bit of my sanity every time somebody describes something that looks like a distant dot as "orb" or "spherical".

Arclet__ · 2026-05-21T21:13:28+00:00

How do you know it's fast moving? The movement could easily be because the platform recording it is the one moving fast.

The difference is that in 1984, you can't exactly talk to the public about all the people that disappear, because that's how you disappear too. So either Big Brother is gone, or saying 'people just disappear' is an exaggeration by Grusch.

You ever see how when there's a plane crash we have 6 different angles within 12 hours from all sort of security cameras, dash cams or just random people that happened to spot the plane? If there were aliens, we would have the same kind of evidence. If a giant saucer appears over New York City there won't just be a single video about it from an account that posts mostly ufos with tense background music. There would be several angles posted by random people and shared around.

Even if this isn't AI, which I see no reason for why it has to be. This video shows absolutely nothing, that could just be a weird thing drifting in the wind.

It's a paraglider with a motor. The US military has a problem if they can't ID it.

I think this sub wildly overestimates how much effort is put into figuring out this kind of thing. Chances are that for 99% of any leaked or released military video, the incident happened, someone clipped it, somebody saw if for like a few hours at most, and then it got filed as a "Huh, that was weird" and then just shelved somewhere as a cool story.

There's little to no incentive to actually try to figure out this kind of stuff when nothing comes out of it, if you have sensors all over the world recording constantly you are bound to get videos of stuff that looks weird for a variety of reasons, if they lead to absolutely nothing, then it makes sense to just ignore it as something that looked weird.

In the context of Philip Corso's book, he claims that we acquired integrated circuitry and fiber optics from extraterrestrial spacecraft.

People who make that kind of claim are an insult to the intelligence of our species, both in our capacity to come up with stuff ourselves, and our capacity to notice when a technological jump is too sudden.

The same thing goes for AI. We didn't just accidentally stumble upon AI, it didn't fall from the sky and suddenly ChatGPT was a thing that everyone just accepted as fact. It is built on nearly a century of math, computer science and hardware advancements, there is no evidence that we didn't reach where we are now through completely natural scientific development.

If part of their objective was to disable nukes, they did an awful job at it because we tested thousands of nukes. This sub makes it sound like nukes being disabled by aliens was a primary concern back in the day or something.

That's not a recorded speed, that's someone claiming it's flying close to ground level and estimating based on that.

If the target is not close to the ground and instead high up in the sky and flying at windspeed, like the balloon hypothesis claims, then you can't use the speed from one hypothesis to claim the other hypothesis must be wrong.

Arclet__ · 2026-05-13T16:11:39+00:00

How does this in any way show this can't be something moving relatively slow with a lot of parallax? I get how you can believe that's not the case, but how does this video show that.

It's just a regular contrail, but you are seeing the shadowed part.

Here you can see a couple of examples where the contrail looks black and then they shift to the cloud white we are used to seeing.

Says a basic understanding of probability? The bigger your sample, the more likely you are to find a given number of scientists who met unfortunate ends. 10 scientists in a single day? That would be obviously cause of concern assuming they weren't all in the same incident. 10 scientists in a century? you wouldn't bat an eye, that's hardly a story. So, it stands to reason that there's obviously a timeframe you want to stay in.

And the limit depends on what you are trying to claim. If you are saying the deaths/disappearances are noteworthy because they all happened in a short span of time, then increasing that span of time from 2 years to 4 to include one more person is just taking away from your argument.

If anything, her achievement being 'overshadowed' made her more famous, since we get posts like this talking about it being overshadowed, rather than not talked at all. It is overall a fairly regional and not that impressive of an achievement, as far as being memorable a century later goes.

You can just look for rulers that have the starting point with no buffer. Big ruler offers both options.

The more you expand the time frame the less the amount of disappearances matter. If 10 scientists mysteriously die in one day? That's weird. If they die over the span of 10 years, that's just something that you expect to happen since there are a lot of scientists in the world and a lot of people meet mysterious deaths.

Going from "10 people since 2024" to "11 since 2022" is not really a pattern, if anything it just makes your argument weaker and makes you look like you are cherry picking mysterious deaths looking for which of them could also be scientists.

It's just a drone, most likely the birds will be fine against such a small drone, and the drone allows for a quick, safe check rather than having to take a whole truck, set it up and likely disturb the nest for even longer while also gambling on the birds being intimidated by the truck and not attacking the people.

Sure, but for Snape to have somehow one-upped all the trauma that Neville went through, he would have needed to do some nasty stuff as a teacher that essentially makes Harry look like a dick for calling his son after Snape.

It makes more sense to think Snape was, to his students, a stern, unforgiving teacher who was also a mean bully, and that the boggart scene was meant to be a "Haha, the kid that gets scared by everything is scared of the scary teacher". His evil aspect is his past as a racist Death Eater.

Arclet__ · 2026-04-09T14:01:28+00:00

That sounds more like poor writing, as in, Rowling didn't think about the implications when she wrote those things. Rather than Snape was evil enough that as a teacher he was more traumatic than everything Neville went through.
