r/UFOs is being attacked with a disinformation campaign.

I would love for this to become an active community with involved UFO/UAP discussion and evidence analysis. I quit reddit when they ended 3rd party app support, but really miss the level of activity over on /r/UFOs.

I think it's important to have original content and discussion though too, not just cross posting. I'll try to start being more active myself.

Post your favorite UFO videos! Here's mine: El Rosario, Mexico 2009 - filmed by two different people at different angles

I heard the theory that this is a close up spiderweb, and the orbs coming out the sides are either dew droplets or an artifact of light/focus. Rewatching it I can certainly see a resemblance, especially the way the orbs seem to bob up and down along an axis.

I haven't looking into whether this was proven to be taken by 2 different people at different locations at the same time though. If that was confirmed it would certainly eliminate the spiderweb theory.

Unlike pinky promising, there are serious criminal penalties for lying under oath. It's perjury and counts as a felony and comes with up to 7 years in prison. Not to mention what it would do to your career, especially a career in the military/intelligence.

I agree. Grusch could have been misled and bought into lies/misinformation. But at the very least I think HE believes it or wouldn't be putting his career in jeopardy by reporting to Inspector Generals and testifying to Congress.

The above poster makes it sound like he is likely to be lying about it, which I think is a weak character attack and not arguing in good faith.

Don't forget, along with the oral and written testimony, Grusch supposedly provided enough evidence to the ICIG to warrant an "urgent and credible" threat.

Is this Lemmy instance all Russian bots?

Reply in thread

All the posts by Yogthos, for some examples. But as Zabadoh helpfully pointed out, because I am from a federated instance I am not seeing all posts in this community. Maybe Yogthos is one of the only users posting in a way that is shared across instances. I don't yet understand the mechanics of Lemmy enough.

Gravity field scaling?

From my layman perspective, yes the measured gravity would be double it's original value if measured from the same place.

Gravity is an [edit: inverse squared] function, so it gets weaker at an exponential rate as you move away from the source. But even if it's a value of 1.0 at Earth's surface and .02 at some distant point from Earth, doubling Earth's gravity would double both values to 2.0 and .04, respectively.
