Many people claimed it to be a real UFO as the mysterious shiny object in the sky beside the sun was moving upward, Which made this case go viral at that time in India.

What exactly happened?
was it a UFO?
Amit Tripathi, who lives in Rajajipuram was sitting in his home's balcony and was enjoying a beautiful sunset. He decided to take some pictures of the sunset, where suddenly he spotted a  red molten metal ball in his camera frame. He said that the shiny object was spinning continuously and after some time it begins to rise.

Connection:

One possible Red flag in the case of this photo could be confirmation bias. As we all know that whenever something strange happens with someone, rather than concentrating on Flaws most people tend to seek and develop their own theory as in the case of Amit Tripathi's photo he directly declared that mysterious shiny object as a UFO. 
 Applying the critical analysis to this photo would be really helpful in order to uncover reasons for belief connected to this UFO sighting. Patternicity is one of the major beliefs immersed in the belief in UFO's sighting. People in this modern world get distracted very easily as we can also say that their brain is a pattern-seeking object, which is responsible for seeking meaningful patterns in meaningless noise. In this photo, the object which is claimed to be an unidentified alien ship Could be anything like a firework or a reflection coming through a cloud differently making that part of the cloud brighter and make it look like an alien ship. ]]> 2021-03-25 20:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354990206 Tableen website THE_AMANA https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354992491 This website provides one of the major UFO sightings caught on camera in the year 2019. The unidentified object was spotted over Throton on April 13. The family filmed the whole incident and share that UFO video online. The photo and videos on this website are taken by one of the Kuroda family members in which a bright source of light can be seen hovering and changing its direction simultaneously.

Not only this but also, after they shared this video on the internet one of the famous personalities Mr. Waring confirmed that the video is genuine not edited. He also mentioned that such UFO sightings in which 2 bright lights convert into one and then disappear are very common to see in the US Rockies.

"A mysterious UFO filmed over the US Colorado Rockies area is "100 percent real" and proof of extraterrestrial activity on earth, a popular UFO researcher has shockingly claimed"-Said Sebastian Kettley.

Connection:

This website content on UFO sighting relates to one of the Red flags Unexpected because the way we call it mysterious sighting is because it is unidentified and it appeared like magic happened in front of our eyes.  Applying the critical analysis to this website content would be really helpful in order to uncover reasons for belief connected to this UFO sighting. Reason for belief includes patternicity as It does provide the video of a considered UFO but it was unable to provide further research on that case like, was it a UFO or just a reflection of light, maybe it was a lantern which burned into the air as the paper used in making lantern is quite flammable.]]> 2021-03-25 20:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354992491 Post#7 Video(in website) THE_AMANA https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354994038 Description: 
The Pentagon released these videos recently, depicting an Unidentified Flying Object, flying nearly alongside A US fighter jet 

Connection:
Patternicity can be used here, as the shape resembles what we would normally call a UFO in an extraterrestrial sense, but it almost seems as if it morphs into other shapes as the video continues, which makes it start to look like its mangled in some instances.

Using skepticism does not seem to make sense in this scenario, as using a skeptic point of view would not explain what it is, or the reasons for it seemingly morphing and moving at insane speeds. 

Using appeal to authority can be one of the explanations to debunk the video, as why would the Government/Pentagon release this video if it was something that could be considered alien. Appeal to Authority can mean that this video may have been fabricated to seem as if it was legitimate, however it may not be the case and people only believe it as such as it was released by the pentagon.

People of Hawaii recorded a strange blue curved object in the sky that was apparently flying really fast. 

Connection: The reason for belief for this in my opinion is that it is unexplained. In the video, you see a blue object in the sky flying over Hawaii. Many presume it is a UFO going to an underwater base but yet no one can prove that. The possibility of it being a UFO is on the same level of it being either a government-created concept aircraft that's being tested or a balloon with glowsticks strapped on it and etc. There are many different possibilities and theories one can come up with to explain these things but none with actual proof as of yet. Since this particular sighting has not come to Hawaii again and also since there have been no details released about the investigation on this object was. Its safe to presume that there is no wrong answer to what this could be but also no right answer. ]]> 2021-03-25 20:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354994819 Post #1: Website THE_AMANA https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354995454 Description: Fighter Jet pilots from the USS Nimitz saw strange patterns of movement in the water as they passed it. They said the water seemed like it was "churning" and as they got closer, a "Tic-Tac shaped object" appeared over it.

Connection: On the website, it also links a video of the strange occurrence. In the video of the tracking system integrated into the jets, we see a strange white anomaly. This was the "tic-tac" shaped thing the pilots were referencing. From the video itself, there is no clear view of the object so we can fully see. It's through a surveillance program that makes the object extremely hard to pinpoint exactly what it is. From the evidence, we have seen I feel as if this was a misconception. These pilots say they saw a strange white object hovering over the water and had state-of-the-art equipment also mentioned that "none can explain what they saw". If they don't fully understand what they saw and just said they saw a floating white tic-tac, this doesn't offer proof of the existence of UFOs. This feels as if they felt like they saw something in their surveillance and just automatically believed it was something not of this earth because they're not familiar to it. one could argue this as "agenticity" as the pilots were assigning meaning to something that was basically invisible or based on that very hard-to-see pictures. ]]> 2021-03-25 20:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354995454 Post #5 Image THE_AMANA https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354996137 Description:
The following is a very high-resolution picture taken from space with a very small thing visible just in the centre of the frame, when zoomed it turns out to be a triangular-shaped thing people claim to be a UFO.

Connection:
Patternicity, the picture is of space and in a space shuttle as most of the stereotypical minds would come up with the idea of encountering a space shuttle by an alien ship due to our imagination and thanks to the movie industry to fill fiction in our thinking and thoughts. This could be a piece of old discarded satellite also, A secret military testing plane also, and even it could a space centre because every information is not shared to common people's knowledge for the sake of national security this could also be very possible a defence satellite.  
This can also be confusion with correlation, ancient wisdom and ideology as well, because pyramid was made by aliens as the rumours say and they also happen to be triangular in shape that, what if the pyramid is the model of aliens ships or they might be the actual alien's ship which was broken and they have to leave them here. These kinds of thoughts are caused by the above-mentioned beliefs which are wrong if thought skeptically. ]]> 2021-03-25 20:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354996137 Post #2 Video THE_AMANA https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354996599  Description:
The Video shows a possible ufo sighting near Ottawa. As, In 1989, UFO investigators in Canada and the U.S. began receiving packages from someone calling themself "Guardian." 

"The packages contained a typewritten story about a UFO crash that allegedly took place in West Carleton, which was a rural township outside of Ottawa. There were also photographs of what Guardian claimed was an alien being.

Most investigators dismissed the material as a hoax. The story of the UFO crash read like bad science fiction, while the alien photos looked like nothing more than someone standing in a field in a dark outfit and a hockey mask. 

A couple of years later, Guardian returned, and they'd upped their game. 

In addition to more reports of UFO crashes in the West Carleton area, they also sent documents allegedly from Canada's Department of National Defence (DND), diagrams explaining how alien spaceships evaded our radar systems, and a series of playing cards covered with ramblings about religion and government conspiracies. 

This new material from Guardian was even stranger than the first batch. The so-called DND documents didn't read like government papers, but instead told a rambling story about an ideological war involving "Red China," "Iraqi" (sic) and "Grey Aliens." There was also a bit about a secret project test centre in Carp, Ont. 

Investigators probably would've dismissed Guardian's latest material as a hoax once again if it weren't for one other item he included: a videotape. " - said by the Article

Connection:
For me, the video remains unexplained as no one knows how and what were those? were they part of any military movement or tactic or they were real UFOs.Because there is not enough evidence to support that claim. Applying critical thinking and skepticism would help but still, the answers remain unexplained as there could be numerous possibilities such as patternicity, confusion with correlation etc.

The websites contain a lot of instances where people encountered UFOs.The websites account for every possible detail available publicly regarding these cases or post links to the available information.

Connection:
the website remains unexplained same as the video as no one knows how and what were those? were they part of any military movement or tactic or they were real UFOs.Because there is not enough evidence to support that claim.

THE_AMANA https://padlet.com/THE_AMANA/Assignment2/wish/1354997096 1. The thing which really surprised me about the topic was that as according to Mr. Waring the white balls of light are the most commonly seen type of UFO in the US Rockies. why they still are unable to find the science or reasons behind the occurrence of those white balls in the sky. They could have set some high-end devices like cameras all around the area to capture a more detailed image.
  1. I find this topic interesting because I still remember when I was in 9th standard I used to watch a TV Series called Ancient Aliens on History Tv 18. so, it really attracts my mind as it is mostly related to UFOs and aliens.
  2. I found the research about Mr. waring very interesting as I am very desperate to know more about him and his theories on UFOs sighting because he could have some interesting in this mind which I would love to listen to.
  3. The thing which really draws my mind and I would surely like to remember those in order to continue a little more research for my own knowledge was those images and videos, which are proof of real UFOs sightings as before, I was unaware of such things and people have recorded these sightings.
  4. According to my the most harmful pseudoscience belief would be Ideology and the least harmful would be Unexplained.
  5. If I would have to pass on something to my family or friend from the knowledge I gained from learning about pseudoscience is surely going to be red flags. As I get to know about many things like before I was unaware of the fact that all Natural products can also be harmful to us(All natural does not always mean safe).

This Photo Depicts Outer Space, where a UFO phenomenon appears by the cameras of two Astronauts on a space walk, and an UFO came into View.

"During the spacewalk on Oct. 7, 2014, NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman and European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst completed the first of three spacewalks for the Expedition 41 crew aboard the International Space Station, NASA said in a news release.

The astronauts moved a broken cooling pump into an external storage space and installed gear that provides back up power for the external robotic arm and the "railcar" system it uses to move along the length of the space station.

A second U.S. spacewalk is set for Oct. 15 to replace a failed votage regulator and to move external camera equipment in preparation of next year's arrival of new docking adapters for commercial crew vehicles, NASA said."

Connection: NASA have not come out with any explanation for this event, Which leads me to believe that this is a paranormal or extraterrestrial phenomenon. Using Critical thinking, you can deduct that it isn't glare from the sun of any kind because the walk was not in the direction of the sun. It also can not be a scratch on the lens of the camera because another picture taken seconds later shows the entity to have disappeared completely, Using skepticism, does not help explain the sighting. Looking at the picture, the pattern of the UFO looks somewhat similar to how a traditional UFO sighting would be, where there is a big central ring with lights.
