"Humanoid proportions" is fascinating language - that's not typical MoD terminology. They usually stick to technical descriptions.
how do people here evaluate competing explanations? The best posts here actually do exactly that - someone will say "my sighting could be X or Y or Z, but here's why I don't think it's those...

The Americans' UAP stuff is probably just classified military hardware anyway. The UK doesn't have anything interesting so there's nothing to disclose. We're not exactly leading in aerospace tech.
Brilliant to have an actual physicist in here. Honestly, the methodology varies wildly depending on the subforum.

I've been trawling through the National Archives declassified documents (as one does on a Tuesday evening) and found something that's not getting nearly enough attention.
Good timing on this - I've just ordered a thermal camera myself. £200 sounds reasonable for the budget option. Where did you get yours? Also, what's the red torch situation?

I'm not here to debunk everything or be that person who says 'it's obviously explained.' That's the right attitude. There's a difference between healthy scepticism and dismissiveness.

The debunkers are actually useful though. If we only had believers we'd just be circlejerking. Having sceptics keeps people honest and prevents the most obviously false claims from going unchallenged.

The Beast of Bodmin is basically the Cornish version of any cryptid story - romantic, probably bollocks, but keeps the legend alive.
I'm Dr Sarah Chen, 38, physics lecturer at University of Manchester. I found this forum through a colleague's very embarrassed mention and I've been reading threads for about two weeks.
Rendlesham's got that history, hasn't it? The military incident from 1980 and all that. I'm not saying the place is cursed or anything, but there does seem to be a concentration of reports from...

Radio 4 has been decent on paranormal stuff lately tbh. Remember that series three years back on Pendle Hill?

To be fair, Stonehenge IS genuinely mysterious in some respects. How they transported the stones, the exact purpose, why so much labour for what might have been a relatively small population...
File a FOIA request yourself rather than waiting for others to do it. Ask for departmental memos about UAP policy or disclosure.

It's not actually that mysterious when you think about it. If you're living in an agricultural society, tracking seasons is literally survival. You need to know when to plant.
Fellow scientist here too (physicist, actually). The paranormal community needs sceptics - keeps us honest.

500k is fine. Every community goes through phases. Reddit's the only platform these discussions can happen on anyway without getting censored.

So everyone knows about Stonehenge's solstice/equinox alignment, but Britain's got loads of other ancient sites that seem to have astronomical significance.
Right, so we're heading into the darkest stretch of the year, which is actually brilliant if you're into skywatching.
it's that false balance thing againThis. Giving equal time to mainstream and fringe theories is dishonest because they don't have equal evidence supporting them.
