Episode notes
INSIGHT

Training Doesn't Prevent Visual Mistakes

  • Trained observers can still misidentify simple phenomena like stars or plane lights.
  • Pilot testimony is valuable but fallible and needs cross-checking with objective data.
ADVICE

  • Crowdsource investigations openly to speed convergence and catch errors quickly.
  • Host public threads, invite corrections, and iterate instead of relying solely on closed expert teams.
