Something for everyone to home in on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8JSGwsH-8Y
A bone thrown for the debunker brigade to latch on to:
28:50 - 29:50 David Clarke curator 'The UFO Project' (2008-2013) 'explains' the rise in black triangle sightings as likely a manifestation of incredibly persistent mass psychoses triggered by the first Star Wars movie in 1977. We all know who at SF would side with that take on it.
Given the host of reliable witnesses who would swear otherwise, Clarke's explanation looks terribly thin to me.
Just as the initial flying saucer sightings wave followed soon after the media misreport of Kenneth Arnold's description of UFOs sighted by him in 1947,
similarly black triangle sightings wave(s) did indeed follow after that Star Wars movie debut.
Is it really a case of vast numbers of easily swayed minds experiencing persistent preprogrammed delusions that keep self-reinforcing a mythology for decades?
Or, as I believe, mischievous entities having sport by feeding initial trigger events with actual manifestations that intentionally reinforce the triggers?
Life imitating art.
Another interesting thing that came up in the vid was the cases of mass visual sightings, quite near a US air force base, but no recorded radar contacts.
Contrasting with the joint visual and radar tracking of say the 1952 Washington flaps, 2004 Nimitz tic tac encounters, among many others.
That kind of baffling variation debunkers routinely seize on as evidence of unreliability, but to me it simply reinforces the supernatural pranksters angle. They can do practically anything, anytime, anywhere, seemingly purely at whim.
Chris Mellon & Co fret over the reports of apparent 'terrain mapping' flight paths reported. No Chris - it's just 'them' having some sport with you. Relax.
