Simplicity versus Obfuscation.  The success of Mathematics in almost any field of human activity is due to many factors, one of these factors is its intrinsic use of "parsimony" or the explicit use of "economic of thought" or the tendency to use a minimal set of assumptions(axioms) trying to "explain" a given result.  The success of the mathematical approach in natural science and in Physics in particular implies that Reality should be "working" along the same minimalist principles and many physical "laws" can indeed be deducted from variational/minimalists mathematical principles.  That is why in Science "simple" explanations are preferred over convoluted/obfuscated ones and that general approach obviously had great success.  But the blind use of this reductionist approach can backfire and as a matter of fact the current situation regarding the incapacity of Official Science to acknowledge the reality of Anomalies is due in part to the incorrect use in general of this philosophical approach and the incapacity of the Science's Elite to recognize the intrinsic limitations of reductionism, pointed in part by the Godel's incompleteness theorems in Mathematical Logic.  The failure of Official Science and Traditional Ufology on the reality of Anomalies can in fact be linked on one side by the blind use of simplicity by Official Science and the overly use of obfuscation by Traditional Ufology. Reality appears to be somewhere in the middle of these two extreme approaches.

Jeremy Thomas updated the description of the group Advanced Anomalies study group.

Description of the group Advanced Anomalies study group.

If you had not done personally atmospheric observations with high magnification equipment do not request to join this group, your request will be denied, your name, background, academic/job title is irrelevant here, only direct experience count.

This group is dedicated to the study of autonomous anomalous objects or sky critters as were named by Trevor J Constable, or simply Anomalies.

The main aim of this group is to advance the systematization of the knowledge about these real anomalous objects that have been video recorded all over the world, their reality is supported by an overwhelming amount of consistent observations.

Only people with known experience doing atmospheric observations with HIGH optical magnification cameras or telescopes in daylight or at night are allowed, infrared spotting is a big plus.

We only consider Second-Generation Data: Footage/pictures where structure details of the objects under consideration are given. 

This group should be considered like a very "Advanced" ongoing graduate course in Anomalies studies and like any elective graduate course in any University it has "prerequisites" to be admitted. 

UFO recycled and unconfirmed claims are not welcome here, only claims supported by consistent observational data. If you are a "UFO believer" this group is not for you. Preconceptions always imply a narrow minded outlook to reality.

Noise vs. Signal

For many people it is very hard to discern between "noise" and "signal", or in other words: between things with real information content and others that do not have information content.

This area of Anomalies Studies is full of examples showing that:

- Many people will "see" a craft in a glowing dot at night but are blind to anomalous manifestations in daylight with plenty of details.

- Many people will get lost thinking that a still picture present evidence of "interdimensional" objects/crafts and by doing that they are really killing the real cases of anomalous manifestations that they may have, these gems will be buried in a mountain of noise.

- Many people will believe personal accounts and many times gives these anecdotal accounts higher relevance than to hard evidence: noise vs. signal again.

Visiting any UFO site or channel online will provide an unlimited source of more examples, if you really pay attention you may find very few "signals" in there but these signals are usually buried in tons of noise, and as a rule the "noise" is a lot more "popular" than the "signals".

Jeremy Thomas November 29 at 6:25pm -- Local phenomena usually have a "local" explanation.

	Jeremy Thomas November 29 at 6:25pm
Local phenomena usually have a "local" explanation.  If you get into your home and you found it trashed, very likely the reason or cause of that will be a "local" one, it will be very unlikely that its cause be found in another planet or galaxy, police investigators will never solve any criminal case if they start to look for reasons beyond earth, exactly as had happened to Traditional Ufologists for more than 60 years.  The phenomena of Anomalies that is being observed today worldwide is a "local" phenomena: if you see a glowing light at night there are no strong arguments justifying looking for explanations beyond earth, these are earthy manifestations and it is very likely that their causes are also "local".  Now plasma based life, inorganic life, is a big contender for explaining or the cause of some of these manifestations and there are already multiple published scientific work around complex plasmas and its self organising features similar to carbon based life forms; but let me point out that reality do not need any scientific explanation to exist and the very basic and clear fact is that Anomalies manifestations are very real and can be observed objectively by anyone that by itself is an extraordinary fact.  Again: usually local phenomena will have a local explanation or cause.

Traditional Ufologists and their islander mindset

By the mere presence of objects with variable geometry any particular shape in Anomalies becomes irrelevant, Traditional Ufology( Ancient Ufology as Solidaevidencia Archivos coined it ) had been fixated with particular shapes: discs, spheres, cigars, etc. But they usually ignored or belittled morphing anomalies and their game changing nature simply because they were limited by their nuts and bolts tincan rigid artifacts cultist ideas.

It is well known mathematically that no elastic surface without tears will change its surface "topology" as when changing from a "0" to a "5" for example, so no elastic balloon without bursting will change its surface from a "0" to a "5", but that had been clearly documented in Anomalies. The Variable Topology anomalous indicator and others strong Anomalous indicators already had been clearly stated and argued.

There is also clear footage showing a "balloon" releasing its tether and becoming a morphing Anomaly following a cycle of transformations, also morphing anomalies taking balloon shapes in their cycle of transformations.

That had been clearly documented and anybody ignoring that is doing exactly what Traditional Ufologists had been doing forever including ignoring Variable anomalies, any objective approach to this area is incompatible with any kind of "islander mentality".

But even without all of that clear evidence Variable anomalies had been observed with "extensions/tethers" and it is not hard to imagine these Variables becoming a closed surface with that extension/tether: a balloon-like object then.

More evidence will come obviously and what had already been observed will be confirmed from multiple independent observers, but always fundamentally new phenomena will appear and only a clear and open mind without preconceptions or fear of what others may think or say will be able to tackle the new manifestations objectively.
