No, but schizophrenia should be a consideration when you’re thinking about the things you’re seeing, especially if nobody else is seeing what you’re seeing and it’s a common symptom of schizophrenia.

Upload it to YouTube and post it in the comments. They’re probably deleting it from being a main post, but as a comment I doubt they’d care. I’m curious to see what you’re seeing.

Not to be rude, but like, you recognize that you’re seeing something other people are not seeing, right? And that hallucinations are a symptom of schizophrenia, right? So maybe having schizophrenia is a big part of what’s going on here.

The Hills Have Highs

That’s not the only explanation. That’s just the easiest explanation for someone who already believes in the concept.

The AI generation analysis I feel is a bit lacking. The examples used to indicate how unnatural hair looks really just look like someone typed “Bigfoot” into one of the totally free to use ones, which are generally kind of shit. I’ve seen people using Stable Diffusion create things that have wayyy more natural looking hair than the examples you’ve provided. One person who goes by Sentientmuppetfactory creates lots of unusual looking creatures, and sometimes they’re furry and fuzzy, and they achieve a natural looking faux-fur. You can also be quite specific with tools like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, and can request specific details. The only thing that comes across as difficult or potentially impossible for the AI to achieve is the lighting in the scene. However, I believe you can provide a base image for these AI tools to operate on, so a picture of a bear looking out through some bushes could have been used as a base that provides lighting. Then they just need to consider how to describe the face of the creature effectively. I also have some issues with this “probability” method you’ve used for determining if it could be edited. It doesn’t really make sense to remove probability because it has features that you think are difficult for an editor to achieve, or to have too many features for an editor to consider. This seems like poor analysis. To me it seems it could easily be a bear as a base and then a face of an ape of some kind could be merged with the face of a human. Some Aboriginal peoples that live in very traditional ways have noses that could fit with this image, and an editor could just alter the length proportion to make it seem more unusual. I also don’t think the pupils and irises have this disproportionate size that you’re seeing. We don’t see the eyes in great detail because there are reflections in them. This causes an already dark colored eye to appear darker and can make it indistinguishable from the iris except for perhaps the lighter browns around the edges, but that’s just part of the iris, not the entire iris. The sclera is less exposed than a lot of people’s but I think the example images don’t really display a lot of eye shape diversity. You could look at different tribal peoples from different parts of the world, and just generally unusual looking people, rather than the very generic stock photo people. Anyways, I think there’s some flaws in the analysis, and my personal opinion is that this is likely a photoshop of a bear with a face made out of an ape and a human. I find it kind of suspect that there’s one random photo with no real information about it.

The Russian one or the Peruvian (mummified) one? I’m sure they’re both fake and made of other animal parts. I also think the “chest implant” is an attempt to make it look as though the thing has pectorals. They’re rounded and situated right below the armpits, and if it wasn’t scanned it would just be assumed they were pectoral muscles. If we can find out what the “implant” is made of it that could clarify things. I don’t know how they have these 3D scans but not an analysis of the tissues — it seems like somebody is trying to hide some information.

https://imgur.com/a/lXqHkFu Is this not what you were seeing? It has the same angles as the “head” of the “alien” and is located right through the doorway. I’ll admit it’s weird that the light came on in the other room and then turned off later, but that can just be an electrical issue in the building. That said, shape you saw lines up pretty well with this painting on the wall.

I find it hard to tell what anything is in the video because it’s so dark, especially the second part that you took the top screenshot from. It does look like there’s a parallax effect occurring as you move around the doorway to see whatever you’re seeing. It’s creating an illusion of something moving out in the other room because you’re seeing it move at a different rate than closer objects. You’re getting downvoted like crazy because I don’t think anybody can tell that anything is there. It just looks like a kind of cluttered space, so things poking out around doors and corners seems like it could be anything. Now, don’t take this in a negative way, but have you had issues with mental health before? Or are you in the 18-24 age range? I’m curious because of the reaction of the other person in the second half of the video, and your agitation during this event. The other person tells you to relax or something, but otherwise doesn’t seem bothered. I can’t really say what you experienced, but I think everyone else is just confused.

Try it. Worst case scenario it gets removed.

I don’t know what I’m looking at. I see vague blurry shapes. It’s impossible to tell what any of it is. Why don’t you upload the video to YouTube and link it here? I see you’ve made multiple attempts to post, including screenshots of a page you uploaded the video to, but not a link to the page.

Maybe I’m misremembering things, but I swear he was caught up in a prostitution ring, and claimed to only be on the premises doing computer work for whoever was running it. Then later got arrested for selling illegal chemicals. His education record is non existent, and the people he claims taught him at MIT or wherever he claimed to have gone turned out to actually be community college teachers on the opposite side of the country. It used to be easier to get away with lies like this, but now it’s pretty easy to look into anything online, and it turns out he’s just not really reputable in any way.

Who pooped my pants??

Dumb shit, did I call sociology a science? I also talk about psychoanalysis. They’re theory based areas of academia. Thinking they’re useless in relation to alien abduction phenomena proves to me you’re not really thinking about this critically so I don’t think this conversation is worth my time.

It does though. Scientific fields can analyze any data that is available. Theoretical fields can analyze the content of the information available to understand what is happening from the reporting party’s perspective. Animal husbandry/agricultural studies could give insight into the idea of aliens farming people. This sub is really annoying sometimes. So many seem opposed to the idea of academia researching these topics because it “flies in the face of science” when really it doesn’t. Science is about developing understanding, and that comes from analyzing available data. What they can’t analyze is wild claims from people that aren’t basing it in data, which is where more theoretical areas of academia can come in handy like psychoanalysis, psychology, sociology. American stupidity and UFO pseudoscience are honestly the most frustrating shit to deal with.

I don’t mean theoretical physics when I say theoretical fields, but okay.

I said in another reply that scientific and theoretical fields can be better suited to analyze this information. Hell, even for speculating on the behavior that’s suggested in this clip an agriculture and animal husbandry would probably provide better insight. Old English studies is closest to a history education — although that depends on how and where you approach your studies. It’s pretty silly to say that because no degrees are specifically UFO related that all are equally capable of providing valuable insight and analysis. In regards to this subject her PhD offers no value aside from having the ability to do academic research, which this clip does not provide. This sub is kind of funny, because there are the staunchly opposed to higher education, and the staunchly in support of it, but realistically you need to understand when and why someone’s education is valuable to a topic. Higher education is a useful thing, but it’s just false to think that all are equal.

You can get one in a scientific or theoretical field that can more effectively speak on the matter. Calling it a smear is gross, I’d prefer you not use such language.

I’ll say I don’t think she was necessarily lying (saying misinformation with the intent to deceive) but people with PhDs are still susceptible to the magical thinking and misunderstandings that convince the uneducated of similar things. While higher education may give some safeguards against it, this is highly dependent on your field of study and what you choose to focus on. A PhD in old English studies that focuses on history, writing styles, and very traditional and “grounded” (for lack of a better term) information on the subject may not have the same ways of analyzing information as someone with a PhD in old English studies that incorporates psychoanalytical frameworks, sociology and historical materialism into their analysis. The former may be more prone to believing fantastical information, while the latter may view the same fantastical ideas as reflective of social, psychological and material conditions of the person expressing them, rather than as reality.

So not really qualified to speak on the subject, but her education gives the illusion of authority. It’s pretty difficult to find information on her beyond a book she released related to UFOs and the paranormal. Unless she was somehow privy to some very secret information on the subject through her education in old English studies, this is entirely speculative and could come from her reading other people’s ideas or from her own ideas about the topic. It’s pretty easy to convince people of something if it lines up with what others in that field are saying, and I think it’s pretty naive to inherently trust her because she has a PhD.

Po at street level

That’s what I’m thinking. I’ve seen transparent Mylar balloons, so I don’t see why someone couldn’t make a balloon that’s partly transparent.

What? Okay if you’re going to describe this wild video you’ve gotta provide a link to it.

Some 23 year old with an interest in archaeology is a government puppet? He’s not even a big YouTube personality, they’d get much better bang for their buck using someone with a couple million views per video. Get real, brother. Many cultures have myths of giants — it’s an easy thing to imagine. People, but even bigger! That doesn’t mean it’s real.

Look up miniminuteman on YouTube, he has an archeology degree and focuses on explaining these “anomalous” things and how they’re formed. He’ll tell you that they’re not faked, they’re just not footprints.

Never trust a cult leader, conspiracy theorist, or UFO believer when it comes to dates. Shit never comes, and with the cult any given date could be a mass murder/suicide.

A lot of Bigfoot content creators start eating their own BS so much that they can’t see how wrong they are in their nearly baseless assumptions. I’m guessing this guy is assuming that the “Bigfoot” is 10’-12’ tall and making estimates for the log based on that. Which would explain why his estimates are roughly double of what seems more realistic. This ridiculous ballooning of size seems to get worse the deeper into the BS you go. I remember some guy claiming there are 15’ or 18’ tall Bigfoot, and some absolutely bonkers person claiming there are 50’ tall giant Bigfoot in South America. If you’re operating on the assumption this “Bigfoot” is more human scale (5.5’-6.5’) there’s no way you’d think that log is more than 4”-5” across, and not much more than 8’-12’ long.

I find far less people carry the latest high definition camera equipped phones than you’d expect. Most people I know over 30 have like a 7+ year old iPhone, because keeping up with technology gets tedious. Even if they do have the latest phone, the digital zoom is usually horrific except in ideal lighting conditions, and things get blurry pretty easily. If someone is scared or excited and is shaking even a little bit that can especially impact the digital zoom so that images look terrible. I’ve also seen some phones have some kind of smoothing feature to try to deal with blurry, pixelated, zoomed in images. It doesn’t really make it look better — less pixelated, but seems like it’s just using the same information and trying to fill in the gaps. TLDR: phone cameras aren’t that amazing, especially when heavily zoomed in. And many people don’t even have a phone with the latest cameras.

Benadryl is diphenhydramine which is an extremely common and first Gen (if I understand that correctly) anti histamine. It’s notable for causing sleepiness and if you stay awake through the sleepiness, hallucinations. Regular use among older adults causes poor memory that is associated with dementia, but isn’t dementia.

Benadryl? It is linked in a roundabout way and only for older adults. Iirc It just causes poor memory, but stops when the use of the drug is stopped. It’s not that using it causes dementia.

Don’t they cover a fairly large range? I wouldn’t be surprised if western cougars just wander into eastern territories from time to time. I also think sometimes things are labeled extinct, when they’re more like “effectively extinct”. The population is so low that they’re not likely to continue for long, but still exist in some capacity. Wildlife services maybe hasn’t seen any evidence of them in a while, so considers them extinct when maybe there’s like 10 left in eastern US. I’m not sure what the motivation would be to lie and cover up the existence of eastern cougars. It’s not like them existing hurts wildlife services, and hiding their existence just puts people and pets at risk. I figure if it’s not western cougars wandering into eastern territories, or just an extremely small “effectively extinct” population, then wildlife services just doesn’t want to go back on their claim.

Theiranus

Okay, I don’t know what a festo balloon is. This subreddit is fucking bizarro sometimes.

It has the vague shape of some concept drawing I had seen for a top secret aircraft a few years ago — the closest existing thing is NASA’s x-38, but without the upturned wings.

I do think these claims usually come from people who I don’t particularly have a reason to believe. 10 or so years ago I had an easier time believing, but nowadays my views on paranormal/high strangeness/etc have changed significantly.

I remember hearing about this one for the first time, and the alien description was so far out from anything else described in UFO/ET experiences. While I can kind of dismiss a lot of the classic grey alien encounters as some kind of dream/OBE/hoax where the existing lore has influenced the individual’s experience, this one is just so bizarre. If it was a dream or some kind of altered-state experience, why is it so different? If they’re not lying, then what did they see? If it was actually aliens, why is this just a one-off encounter with no other experiences containing similar descriptions?

Sooo, you’re coming across as saying everyone is stupid for not thinking this guy is credible, and instead of linking evidence or any information to support his claims you linked a Disney cartoon clip. If you genuinely think there is something more to this then tell people about it. This is the silliest kind of behavior on social websites. It’s like walking into a bar and listening to a conversation for 30 seconds and going “you’re all so dumb!” Then walking away.
