I speculate that Penniston saw some distant vehicle through the trees at some point; as a relatively new arrival in the UK he may not have been familiar with British agricultural vehicles, or maybe some other vehicle (Ridpath suggests a police...

And I have always also assumed that Halt and his associates were periodically using the Starscope, an instrument that can create a wide range of artifacts through internal reflections and refractions. This may be the cause of the 'beams' he...

Hmm. Halt started seeing the 'beams' at 03:15, while the star was quite a bit higher, and at 04:00 Halt says he thought the star was 5-10 degrees off the horizon; quite accurate for Sirius at 04:00. The mere fact that these witnesses saw the...

Burroughs said in his original witness statement; Cabansag said; http://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham2c.html

Sirius would have moved further west over time; curiously Halt did the same thing, assuming he eventually returned to Woodbridge at the end of the night. So the witness, and the star, would both have converged on the base.

The SpaceX launch from Canaveral occurred on May 3, at 02.37 GMT. https://newsroomin.eu/en/ufo-sighting-explained-as-spacexs-falcon-9-rocket/ This translates to 19.37 Pacific time on May 2. Would this launch cause a report at 21.15 Pacific time...

I'm fairly sure that bright stars and planets can appear to 'wander' due to contrast effects, even when the observer is relatively motionless. This is probably a kind of autokinesis effect, coupled with the different sensitivities of the rods and...

It is surely totally relevant that Ridpath mentions Sirius, Vega, and Deneb.....three stars most amateur astronomers know are in the winter sky, yet completely fails to mention the elephant in the room....a very close conjunction of Saturn and...

There's a thread on Reddit about Mass UFO sighting in Central/Sourhern California where the (skeptical) consensus seems to be there was a SpaceX second stage rocket de-orbiting last night that was widely seen. The initial poster said he saw it...

There are more witnesses in a documentary by Lynne Kitei. Of course, I'd expect James Fox and Lynne Kitei to select the 'best' witnesses in terms of massive size and so on....so we really have very little on what the other 780 or so witnesses...

No, you totally misunderstand why Stanley's observation is more reliable as a way of estimating the height. Stanley was the only observer who positively identified the formation as small, distant planes, thereby ruling out the estimates of height...

Ian Ridpath's analysis of the event does not ignore any of the features; you are correct to say that the lighthouse does not explain everything, but there are good explanations for every aspect of the case. Some events appear to have a sequence...

I'm fairly sure that both events (the 8:00 event and the 10:00 event) have now successfully been 'busted'. Planes and flares.

My suggestion is that Stanley's statement is just as reliable as the others, when it comes to angular size. Since there were apparently eight planes in this formation, and Stanley only reported five, then the larger estimates of angular size can...

I have encountered the 'lure UFOs' trope before; I'm sure Steven Greer's Disclosure Project is intended 'summon' UFOs to provide evidence for their existence...
