if you had an actual crystal clear photo of disc with a alien waving out the window that wasn't an obvious lantern, bird or swamp gas, you would have a crystal clear photo of something that could be analyzed by anyone, not just debunkers. I'm not sure what your point is.

It wouldn't even matter if you got a crystal clear photo of a disc with a alien waving out the window and debunkers would still call it "chinese lanterns", "bug", "bird", "swamp gas" ect ect.

However, as a longtime news and entertainment videographer, I'm fairly accustomed to various refractions and as such can't recall ever seeing any like that in the Concorde footage. Especially as it moves along the fuselage and doesn't dissipate.

I do admit that the initial appearance of it moving behind the plane could be tricky, but, given the low resolution it hard to tell. Your explanation would be Ocacm's razor of course. I'll google that theory.

I have about 12 hours a night to kill....for the next 3 months.
I like you, don't get me wrong. I starred your introductory thread. But, yeah, after I cook dinner for the family and clean up, I'll try and make a list.
Although, it would be much easier, and much more personally educational and not dependent on me, if you just went to the proper forum category and started clicking on thread titles that sounded interesting to you.
Doing that will DEFINITELY help you kill all that extra time at work you keep mentioning and, as an added bonus, should kill your boredom whilst at the same time taking your mind off MIBs stalking you and such.
Seriously, with all my heart, no offense, k?

what i find to be very interesting is that there are thousands of shaky videos and pictures taken with bad devices like cell phones by people with no background in astronomy showing a dot of light in the sky and claiming that this has to be a ufo.
on the other hand there are thousands of astronomers worldwide watching the night sky using high-tech optical devices like telescopes on stable mounts and they never report any ufos. in fact, when you dive into astronomy, buy a good telescope and start to join some message boards to talk with other astronomers, there is usually not even a ufo or unexplained objects section in those message boards.

The OP raises a valid point. With all that crap around,why is there no solid proof?

There are certainly some clear ones in that list , but then the question remains.. real or fake ?
But you are right, there should be more "evidence" by now.
Not sure why, maybe people don't look up at the sky anymore as it used to be (you know , people have 'busy' lives these days)

I agree with you to some degree except where you talk about orbs and a plausible alternative... Whats plausible to someone who has not seen an orb would not be plausible to someone who has seen one.
It seems the majority of sightings at the moment are these orbs/ lights. I don't like to call them orbs because to me it makes it seem they are like the orbs you see in ghost footage. The sky orbs look nothing like them. The plausible explanation for them is a lantern , helicopter, plane, meteor blah blah... The ones i saw are NOT any of those.
To me a drone is not plausible because I am yet to see any proof that there are drones that look like orange lights or can move at the speeds these things do. If they were drones the govt are obviously not trying to keep them secret due to the multiple sightings and so therefor should have some photographic proof of them.
I recently saw a report of the foo fighters, orange orbs , their explanation is living plasma balls. It got me really thinking this IS plausible. But their words were something like we don't know enough about it yet. As in they have no clue if plasma could make these formations, keep these formations at high speed or move the way they do , but possibly it could. Therefor I don't accept that as a plausible explanation until they can prove that.
So all in all whats plausible to one may not be plausible to another ;0)

IMO a photo, no matter how clear it is will NEVER be accepted as proof .a photo without the photographers story behind it means nothing, same with video.
the old saying ... 'In this day with all the smart phones etc etc etc ' . To answer it for yourself go out tonight and take a pic of something in the sky with your smartphone, just see how clear it turns out. ( Ive been trying to get a nice clear shot of a full moon with DSLR camera , not having much luck due to my lack of knowledge )
