A respected atmospheric chemist, John W. Birks (professor emeritus at CU Boulder, co-author of the original "nuclear winter" work), posted a preprint arguing that some UAP "orbs" reported to NUFORC are clouds of magnetized meteor dust, supported by a claimed roughly 3-sigma correlation between orb reports and fireball reports. Avi Loeb posted it and shared it with the UAP Science Advisory Council he chairs, which said it will compare the model against AARO's orb data. So this is a physical mo...

We will be presenting an analysis that seriously damages the core findings and scientific methodology in a paper presented by Atmospheric chemist John Birks regarding UAP/orbs. @DepDNILukas @RepLuna @StephenM https://t.co/NlH6KqLplY https://t.co/leScBFHvdR [Quoted] Here is the preprint of atmospheric chemist John Birks' analysis of 508 orb sightings reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC): "these silent, floating luminous objects often exhibit plasma-like behavior and emit visi...
