Please, STOP trying to find UFOs with web cams!

... people looking for UFOs with web cams.

I didn't know that UFOs had webcams?
I guess though, when you think about it, they probably suffer from a similar tourism syndrome and want to record every moment so they can beam it back to their loved ones on Planet Asswagglefogaggle.

You haven't been here for long, don't worry you'll get use to it.

It's never ending nonsense. It is destroying legitimate research.

How long have you been researching UFOs? Could you please give me a brief synopsis of this 'legitimate research' and why the results are better than those from webcams? From where I sit there isn't much that is convincing, webcam or no. Surely if this legitimate research was worth its weight we would have convincing UFO reports being touted by the MSM by now?
IF there are UFOs, to my mind they are most probably Black Ops projects or (at a stretch) drones from alien civilisations who would have worked out that to circumvent the vast distances of interstellar space involved in such travel, and bypassing the manipulation of the space-time continuum as too costly and dangerous. Mechanical/synthetic means were more rigorous and up to the mission of space travel rather than sending out 'manned' (aliened?) spaceships.

So if I am say watching the web cam at Yellowstone park waiting for the geysers to erupt...
and say a big foot strolls by and gets caught on that camera...
You mean that would not have any value?

How do you know it was big foot and not some guy in a suit? You don't, you were not there. The video would be useless and only cause endless debate. Sure entertainment wise it would be great, but it would be useless none the less. If you were there, you could at lease have more information about it being a guy in a suit or not, how big it was, how far it was, what noises it made, etc...

Sometimes it is not feasibly possible for someone to be in every location at once (at left not in the same timeline ). Thus, webcams can be exceptionally useful tools to aid our observations and notes and even to help do the job when we're not around.
I know that they are exceptionally useful for monitoring volcanoes. However, I do get your point in a small way, that the refresh rate of most public webcams is not ideal and that can lead to artifacting. However, just because it isn't the magic bullet for finding UFOs doesn't doesn't mean it should be thrown out with the bathwater.

They are a tool. What is the saying?

Oh: A poor workman blames his (her) tools. thus, it is not the poor, much-maligned webcam that is at fault. It is the lack of critical thinking from people who profess to be UFO researchers yet don't apply enough of their grey matter because they get caught up in the moment (possible scenario).



Oh, and a white horse walks into a bar. The barman says " What'll it be? "
The horse says" Whisky , please..and another, and another"
After the tenth dram the barman says "you sure like your whisky. No wonder they named a brand after you!" To which the horse replies
"What, Eric?"



Seemingly off-topic, this humorous anecdote actually illustrates how jumping to conclusions can end up with different results than first thought.

I have read the whole thread :/

I do understand your distrust regarding webcams but I reiterate that it is not the webcams that are the problem, rather, the people.

Now, I had some more questions.
See my post above
