Description

I'm seeing a lot of comments on this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/14mm61h/mexican_journalist_jai…) saying that this is a bug on IR close to the camera. A few of the top comments have received awards to make them stand out, when they are blatantly false.

This object clearly appears to come out from BEHIND the ridgeline in the background.

Sure, bugs make trails on IR. Does that mean all trails on IR are bugs? Absolutely not. This is a fallacy, in fact.

If a Honda Civic leaves tire marks on a road, does that mean all tire marks on a road were made by a Honda Civic? No, it does not. This may not be the best example, but I think you get the point: This argument is inherently flawed.

Now, am I saying this is an alien spacecraft? No, I am not. But just because bugs leave trails on IR does not mean all trails on IR are caused by bugs, and it's disingenuous to make this argument.

Especially when this particular object appears to blatantly come from behind the ridgeline.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
