Dr #Villarroel is a Swedish astronomer who just published two PEER REVIEWED studies that identified around hundred thousand ufos in earth orbit.
The papers refer these highly reflective #uap objects as "Transients".
The objects fit the following parameters.
- Earth orbit between 40-80km
- Appear on more than three plates (thus eliminating substrate flaw)
- Time before 1954 (Sputnik went up in 1956)Remembering that 1952 was when #UFO formation buzzed the White house for two weeks.
There is a 68% data spike in when nuke tests were carried out and/or there was a spike in sightings. -

#RFK Jr clears first vote towards Senate confirmation.
Kennedy cleared the first hurdle needed to be confirmed as US #healthsecretary when his nomination was approved by a Senate committee.
The vote split along party lines, 14-13, with all Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee voting in favour of the #vaccine #sceptic who threw his support behind #Trump after ending a presidential bid of his own & whose health expertise has been questioned.

Tuller walks us through their argumentation and concludes: "The whole thing reads like a desperate attempt to portray their intervention as having had some meaningful effect. The CODES data tell a different story."

5 billion photos are now taken each day, for over 1.8 trillion per year. Phones have up to 200 megapixel cameras. That's large enough to print a photo on the side of a building.
Yet, every new UFO, Bigfoot, Nessie or big cat roaming the UK sighting is either not photographed or is blurry like it was taken on a 640k resolution camera from the 90s.
I'm going to go out on a limb and be sceptical.

I’m growing more and more disappointed in #CallingBullshit. Chapter 2 would have benefited from consultations with some other academics who have knowledge in the topic of social media, like #AmyBruckman, folks in the #skeptic #sceptic movement, like #StevenNovella, and research on the history and use of the #FairnessDoctine as an ineffective tool of moderation but effective tool of of suppression.
As it reads now, it’s very thin on facts and long on opinions.

Found an episode of #Columbo on (on a Sunday, this isn't difficult), and it was one of my most well-remembered episodes. Psychics, magicians, and #murder by #guillotine, and most memorable for how the #psychic demonstration is shown to be the scam they all are. As a dedicated #sceptic this has always stuck in my mind. It's been fun seeing if my wife could work out the trick before it was explained, and I'm happy to say she has.

It's not that I don't believe in clairvoyants. I just don't understand why the universe would disproportionately bestow psychic abilities on outer suburban housewives.

So Peter Hitchens .. the #UK thinking mans #covid #lockdown #sceptic has been coerced to have the vaccine.
However the force that has pressured him to break his principles and renounce his freedom DOES NOT YET EXIST.. it's travelled backwards in time from an imagined future dystopia.
I am sure Hitchens gives Post Structuralism short shrift, however he's just proven it *MORE* *REAL* than the "English Freedoms" he's forever decrying are being lost
Here's his blog
