I think poltergeists as described in folklore probably aren't real. But I also think there's definitely psychological phenomena we don't fully understand that manifests as physical effects in some...

Because if they admitted something genuinely landed at a UK military base and they didn't know what it was, it would be an absolute embarrassment. Better to bury it and hope people forget.
Have you considered actually investigating with him rather than dismissing it? Get an acoustic meter app on your phone, do some basic checking for loose pipes, check for mice in the walls.
This is exactly why the genuine phenomena get buried in noise. Every drone that someone films in low light gets uploaded as "unexplained object," and then real sightings get lumped in with the...

I like the overall direction but I'm worried about the enforcement. "Personal attacks" is a pretty vague standard. Is calling someone credulous a personal attack?

Genuinely asking - why is it that in 1980, multiple US Air Force personnel stationed at RAF Bentwaters reported a structured craft landing in Rendlesham Forest, and yet there's never been a...
You're probably right that it's stress-related, but here's the thing: that doesn't mean the sounds aren't real.

If it was a secret military aircraft, there's no way it's still classified.You'd think that, but some military programmes are compartmentalised so heavily that even releasing information about...

Most poltergeist cases collapse under scrutiny. The Pontefract case is actually a good example - seems genuine until you realise the teenager at the centre of it was absolutely capable of throwing...

I actually saw something similar over Telford about a month ago. Thought it was a UFO for about thirty seconds until I clocked it was a commercial drone someone was flying.

Could be a drone. Could be edited. Could be something else.You're asking the right questions but you've already listed the answer - it's definitely a drone.
I had a look through them too. Most of it's routine stuff - sightings reported, investigated, explained as weather phenomena or misidentification.
This is genuinely difficult to post because I don't want to sound dismissive of my flatmate, but I need to ask: how do you tell someone they're probably experiencing stress-related auditory...
The Zoom H4n is solid. Don't buy a tape recorder. Use your digital recorder in a quiet location (not in your flat with ambient noise), use proper technique (silent pauses, respectful questions,...
The redactions are standard practice for any government document release. Protecting sources and methods is legitimate - they don't want enemies knowing how good their detection systems are or...
The detail requirement is good. Too many posts are like "something weird happened," with no information that would actually help anyone.

Worried this will attract the wrong kind of skeptics - the ones who aren't interested in genuine inquiry but just want to argue and belittle. Hope the mods are prepared for that.

What's the mechanism? How does it work?If I knew the mechanism, I'd be publishing papers, wouldn't I? The honest answer is we don't know.

The problem with TikTok UFO videos is that everyone's trying to film something interesting without knowing what they're actually filming.
Finally. The forum was starting to feel like an echo chamber where anyone who asked reasonable questions got jumped on. Having actual skeptics on here will make the conversations sharper. Good call.
