Is the sky really blue? I'm skeptical.

The sky it is said, is blue, maybe with some white puff stuff, or grey, etc.

It is said that UFO's are unreliable as being ufo's because the human eye instrument which is biological, cannot be trusted to see well and stuff.

Therefore, I do not believe fully the sky is blue, since, us americans in iraq, south africa needs more tvs and maps to know where the us of a is.

Do you or do you agree? Also, do you agree with Miss South America's view that swamp gas is not true because if you are skeptical.

Now that the troll is suspended; the sky really is not blue.

Not in SoCal, it ain't. Sort of murky brownish-blue. However, it is far better now than when I was growing up here in the 70's.

Earlier today kyleain achieved the distinction of having her first post on UK-Skeptics diverted to the 'Junk thread' - 'a dumping ground for general twaddle'.' This is believed to be a record. :jaw-dropp

Well, hope springs eternal. Banning was probably a bad thing.

It does not record. Hence "word of mouth" is all you have, and that's notoriously unreliable in truthful situations, thanks to memory, ignorance, and misinterpretation. Now mix in deliberate misrepresentation to sell books, web sites, and whatnot, and there's not much truth left.

For example, the multiple lights-over-Phoenix has been shot down conclusively. Even daytime videos of the exact same flares (or whatever) being dropped and falling behind the same mountain in the exact same way have been broadcast on national TV.

Yet still the frauds persist in playing dumb, deliberately ignoring this to say, "Hey, what are these things?"


Therefore, I do not believe fully the sky is blue

If there were only a few grainy, clumsy videos of the sky being blue, then you would have a case.

Is this the case?


In any case, even statistically we can, thanks to modern cameras everywhere, conclude these things are true or false based purely on video evidence. Car crashes, murders, trains hitting cars, tornados, etc. were all once "grainy and rare", but their instances have multiplied, including quality, with the multiplication of cameras. UFOs, nessie, bigfeet, etc., have not. They remain few and far between and grainy.

Hence we may conclude they don't actually exist for that reason as well.

The sky appears blue for a combination of two reasons. Before white light reaches the Earth’s surface, the light waves collide with and bounce off of the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the atmosphere. Different frequencies of light (in other words different colors) are scattered differently. Higher frequencies (blue and purple) are more easily scattered and thus bounce around in all different directions more than lower frequencies (red or orange) do. The scattering of high frequencies alone would cause the sky to appear blue and purple, but our eyes work better at frequencies near the middle of the spectrum (yellow and green). Since the color blue is closer to yellow or green than purple is, the sky we see appears blue.

They think with the right side of their ass.
