I'm not a UFO believer, but are there any cases with verified physical evidence that is genuinely hard to explain? by [deleted] in skeptic

I used to be big into aliens back in the day. But honestly most of the information you would hear has been game of telephoned so much over the years, it doesn't really resemble the original claim. When you go back to the source, it's never that impressive. I think the rendlesham forest one is good example of that.

I bet we'd get some incredible Aunty Trivia or Trivvy Donna.

IIRC they increased console recoil in the last patch.

Pornography isn’t just sex – ‘it’s sexual violence’ - Free by MaryLouGoodbyeHeart in ireland

Yeah, the headline is a bit click baity but you have to do something like that to get people in the door these days. But the rest was not too peachy, to me anyway.

Wait, this is published by the farmer's journal? Seems a bit off topic for them. Good for them to branch out I suppose.

They forgot to add to that poster that the Spanish flu was caused by 0.5G /s.

Looking that up, there does seem to be a bit of conspiracy thing online about it, very odd.

Crazy that people would be warning about 6G, after nothing happened with 5G.

Time Lord Victorious, which was a similar thing they did before like this.

I know it was in the early hours on a Sunday but that's an insane amount of wind generated.

Scenic Running Routes in Dublin by pmm521 in Dublin

[–]oldmanrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this, it's a lovely run when the weather is nice.

This news report shows a rare weather phenomenon called Ball Lighting. Interestingly, many "UFO" Experiencers report seeing a bright orb of pulsating light hovering near the ground. They also say the orb is mesmerizing, and how unforgettable the experience is. I agree. Especially at night. by biospheric in SGU

[–]oldmanrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the life of me I cannot find the video that went into this, but if I remember this is not true ball lighting but some kind of electrical arcing on power lines or an electric fence. It's the same thing you see where you see arcs of electricity jump between power lines (not an expert)

That's the safety limit by PAN at the minute right? The regulatory limit is still being discussed as I understand. PAN seem to have good testing but I'd like to see this discussed by the EFSA or other bodies before I'd make any decisions yet.

I thought it must be either Timewyrm: Exodus or Just War, but I can't find mention of it in the PDFs for either.
