Drones over NJ/NY??

[la szum]

This is old news.... but even in Court "eyewitness testimony" is looked at with increasing skepticism.

Why? Because it is unreliable. People generally don't know what they are seeing when they see it.

Why Science Tells Us Not to Rely on Eyewitness Accounts

Eyewitness testimony is fickle and, all too often, shockingly inaccurate

Huh? That's precisely the kind of uncorroborated nonsense that feeds the uncorroborated nonsense, though.

It's a speculative comment with no basis on anything factual. Pure speculation.

What's worse is I bet the vast majourity of these "sightings" are manned aircraft. That's literally
the majourity of what is in the air at all times of the day and night. Not "drones." Not "UPAs."

But that is boring, and not irrational enough for most.

That’s not nonsense at all, it’s common sense. The chances are extremely high that they’re man made, so let’s ask ourselves not what they are, but why they’re there. What would somebody have to gain by this?

extremely high

You spelled "100%, unquestionably, without a doubt" wrong.

Quite often “common sense” is just whatever conforms to our own confirmation bias.

New "info". Look up PteroDynamics X-P4 transwing drone. "Someone" may have lost something kind of freaking important.

Search around the interwebz and the stories should start dropping.

Edited because of dyslexia on the drone type.

People will actually give an account of what they saw, be shown a video that contradicts that account, and double down.

So yeah, drones everywhere. Actually planes and seagulls, but drones.

Apparently there was a school shooting. So nobody will give a shit about drones by tomorrow.

Apparently there was a school shooting.

Is it Monday already ?

Wow. That's a really cool design!

The Onion has only had to post this article 547 times this year.

That's not an exaggeration.

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

MADISON, WI—In the hours following a violent rampage in Wisconsin in which a lone attacker killed at least two individuals and injured six others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Monday that there was no way to prevent the...

People!!

This is what happens when people are basically sheep and don’t pay attention to anything other than social media anymore.

Mass hysteria.

Confirmation bias always involves statements, never questions.

This was already discredited. Unfortunately it came from a congressman too.

So was carcinogens in the air during 9/11. You really believe these people? I dont trust that lying rooster sucker (who also said we do not have a border security problem) as far as I can throw him.

Not sure which fortune cookie you lifted that off but it’s absolutely possible to build biases into questions. This is why scientists spend so much time designing experiments.

You really believe these people?

I don’t need belief, I need data. There are about a dozen theories being floated, most of which are obvious misinformation targeting folks’ via their deeply held political views.

I’ve yet to see any video that was anomalous. I’m seeing lots of videos with FAA regulation navigation lights, planets, birds, etc.

If this is real and happening at the scale being suggested in some circles, then why don’t we have video evidence? Why can’t we prove it?

Not surprised. Admitting an error in perception is the worst of all evils.

Who says two wrongs don't make a right??
