They can't increase actual detail in images, they guess what might go there and paste in some existing imagery to fill the gap. This images end up being essentially collages of small pieces of things that were never in the original photograph. I know everyone means well but they are not helpful in any way and in a lot of cases, end up creating "fake" images that people think are the original.

Street light photo:

30 seconds in GIMP and I made this. I've seven seen variations of this photo shared which are cropped and removed the lights to leave doubt, which is not in good faith. The convex glass of the lens is reflecting the lights as you can expect, inverted and mirrored.

Now that this Capital photo can easily be put away as unrelated, the vail can be pulled back. Next, we have the infamous light video. After cross referencing the angles with surrounding buildings, I overlayed the video with as close to the POV as I can get without doxxing this persons appartment with the glideslope of Runway 01. The aircraft above the glideslope and much higher, are in their upper descent coming in from further East inland, right to left, and will make a descending left turn to line up with the slope. When aircraft are on final, they are flaps down and moving much slower, around 160knt. It's like seeing a satellite at night and thinking it looks like it's moving slow, but considering the distance, you realize it is moving at 24,000+mph. Speed, heading and distance are all relative.

Glideslope based on Navgraph data: https://navigraph.com/airport/KDCA/Ronald-Reagan-Washington-Natl

Runway 19 is also used for landings, but on this night of the video, for whatever reason (weather, traffic, etc) Runway 01 was used for approaching aircraft. Alternating runways is common.

Next we have the lights themselves. Most critical of this take fail to understand landing lights are incredibly bright, are not turned on until around 18k feet on the descent (explaining why the highest one "appears"), and are not meant to be seen from any angle other than from the front. Seeing them from the front, or even near head-on will explain why they appear to hover, especially at such a far distance. That distance and/or brightness of landing lights will blow out any visuals of the navigational lights, which are much dimmer. The aircraft are just flying towards the perspective, so appear to 'hover'. The one closest to the camera can be seen on final and nearing touchdown, clearly moving right to left, towards the runway piano keys. Landing lights and navigation lights/beacons differ in that landing lights act a projector light illuminating the flight path, but so it doesn't blind pilots who are not in front of the plane, they are embedded in the wings, so you can't see them when you are under or behind the aircraft.

Considering the video is taken from an area facing the planes on final, sure we can see them. But when people say "I live in DC and don't see this!" they fail to share where in DC they live, as that information is critical to being able to replicate the video.

Since I have been called a fed, bot, misinformation agent, whatever, by the galaxy brains over at r/Alien (shoutout to Doyle!) because I was using 1 day old account on my phone, I couldn't help but just invest twenty minutes into putting this to bed, because quite frankly they are driving me nuts. Like, I certainly believe clips like the Manchester one should be investigated further and that there are a ton of videos which warrant attention, but watching people belittle and put down 'sceptics' (ie. people who don't severely lack observational deduction skills but also want to believe) just brings us all down and look like donuts.

Can we please stop flagging people as bots for offering reasonable conclusions? I want videos of dots zipping around as much as the next person, but this video and photo have nothing in common, and are sensationalized by the NYT to garner clips. The same people calling people bots are willing to give NYP the benefit of the doubt, which is not in good faith and simply hurts our credibility.

First off, thank you. The energy and dedication in this community are inspiring. Your passion for uncovering the truth and your openness to share is what makes this movement possible. What you do matters, and it’s making people sit up and take notice.

That said, with great power comes great responsibility. For our work to have the impact we’re all aiming for, we’ve got to be rock-solid about the evidence we present. That means being careful, clear, and focused on sharing only what can really move the needle.

So, let’s keep these key things in mind:

Movement Matters Most

Objects that hover, drift, or move slowly or things that could easily be explained by wind, drones, or planes simply aren’t going to cut it. What makes UAP evidence stand out is behavior that defies what we know like sudden acceleration, sharp turns, speeds that blow modern tech out of the water.

Rule Out the Ordinary First

If something could be explained by everyday stuff like planes, balloons, spotlights, it’s not UAP needle-moving level evidence. Before we call something extraordinary, we’ve got to eliminate the ordinary. We should welcome the skeptics who are in here because they elevate the quality of evidence required.

Don’t Stop Filming

You know what’s heartbreaking? “After I stopped recording, it zoomed away crazy fast!” We’ve all been there, but let’s avoid it when we can. If you think you’re seeing something incredible, keep that camera rolling. Short clips of stationary objects just isn't going to convince the public.

Long Footage Wins

Shoutout to everyone capturing extended footage or live-streaming in the UK recently, keep it up! The more context and continuity, the stronger our case. You’re setting the gold standard for the rest of us.

This isn’t about discouraging anyone. It’s about keeping this community credible. If we flood the conversation with easily debunked or flimsy submissions, we risk losing the momentum that has been built. But when we’re disciplined, thoughtful, and rigorous, we show the world that this is a subject worth taking seriously.

Thank you for everything you’re doing to push the boundaries of what we know. Let’s keep going, keep sharing responsibly, and keep chasing the truth with curiosity and open minds.

I am not a mod. Just a passionate member of this community.

I have figured out a way of confirming the exact date of the orb on the Manchester airport incident, assuming it in in June 2024.

We know on the video its a wet day, a very wet day, lets take a look at the heaviest rainfall that month for June.

4th, 9th 10th, 14th and 15 are the wettest days of the month, so it is likely to be one of those.

Lets look at the planes in the holding position to take off:

Front of the queue: Ryanair

2nd: Easyjet

3rd: TUI

4th KLM, although this was hard to confirm from this photo, so I screenshot the video, which is a little clearer.

KLM screenshot from vid

Same plane.

So now we have the possible dates and the planes in order of takeoff. The issue is that Manchester has two runways, so may distort this correlation in the take off times. You would think it should be Ryanair, followed by Easyjet, followed by TUI, followed by KLM. However, there are two runaways to take off from which may distort the data.

If anyone can find the pattern here: please do let me know:

If we have the final date, we are one step closer to the truth.

This was interesting to me and I wanted to share in the hope that someone remembers which early podcast he said this in.

He was very adamant about never agreeing to a clearance unless the goal was 100% disclosure to the public.

He’s stated in the past specifically saying he has “confidences” not any NDAs. In the Bay Area Innovators podcast he shares that he does in fact have a US Security Clearance.

If anyone remembers the first podcast I’m speaking about I would really appreciate you.

Part 2 on the BAI podcast:

Note: Part 1 is interesting but nothing about UAP:

This is my first post here and I wanted to share what I saw just moments ago! I was just smoking on the balcony with my gf just now and I had saw a silent black rectangle going through the sky. No lights on it but it moved in a smooth straight line. I called her quick cause she was nearby and she saw it right be before it went behind a tree out of sight. I’m shook I have no idea how to explain what I saw. Around the black rectangle, I swear I saw like a “flex” in its image like it was bending its image around it. I’m so shook about how it looked around the black rectangle. Seeing that flexed image was insane y’all. Here is Sacramento, CA!

Hi, with all the activity lately, I remember seeing a post somewhere in this sub, and OP pretty much said to look up towards the skies in the coming weeks, because they want their present to be known. Can anyone remember that post? Or anyone have a link to it? Tried searching but can't get the right terms strung together to return the correct post.
