VFX artists react had a pretty good video where they're pretty sure the footage over the ocean is just a bird. The oddness is due to the camera optics and the vessel that's recording it traveling extremely fast.
I find it really remarkable how far behind the curve HN is on this topic. It's literally the nerdiest, most avant-garde topic of all. Yet here people behave like their own grandfathers.
TheHill.com reports on Congress acting on the mounting evidence for ET craft crash retrieval programs illegally hidden from democratic oversight, people on HN discuss whether birds fly high.
No, that’s why it’s newsworthy. What’s your point?
It's not avant-garde at all. It's the same old nonsense that comes around every 10-20 years with new lipstick on it. The "pilots are trained observers" canard is literally the same shtick from all the way back to Kenneth Arnold's flying saucers from 1947. After going around this hamster wheel a bunch of times, forgive me if I'm not excited by another round of "the evidence is about to be released any day now" chatter.
Planes specifically have cockpit warnings because U.S. fighter pilots get confused by the difference between sky and sea.
Just because you're good at something doesn't make you an expert at everything or your experience is infallible.
