    No. Everything I have seen I have been able to identify, though sometimes it takes a few moments to figure out exactly what it is. The one that took the longest to figure out was a plane for which I must have been directly in line with its descent vector. All I saw was a light in the sky that...

    That article has been discussed. Originally I found some of what it discussed to be compelling, and stated such. More information has come out since about the article. I now just classify it as more junk we are being inundated with from both sides of the issue.

    The closest I have seen to anything exhibiting any of the five observables is the 2004 Nimitz FLIR video. But, I don't know what all of the data presented on the screen to the navigator means. Mick West claims in his analysis that the object in the video was not performing outside of what a...

    Sealed versus Ported Bass, can the difference be measured?

    Here is a video I just came across today that discusses ported vs sealed woofers:

    Sealed versus Ported Bass, can the difference be measured?

    Have you tried measuring the step response and impulse response (time domain measurements)? If you drive a woofer directly from a low output impedance amplifier (without a passive crossover), the (EDIT) properly damped acoustic suspension (sealed) configuration typically will exhibit quicker...

    I may have already stated this, but it is worth repeating. Use air core inductors to avoid core losses!

    People have come up with a lot of innovative balloon designs over the years. If anything is floating along at wind speed, it should be assumed to be a balloon, no matter how crazy it looks.

    A balloon.

    I would try with the smoothing turned off. If the resonance at 419Hz does not show up, I think you are good.

    Here is a pretty good explanation of the ER = EPR conjecture (i.e., the conjecture that particles are entangled via wormholes) at a level most people should be able to understand:

    If I come across a response by the journalist to John's allegations I will post it.

    If the basket is ringing, I think the H-brace and rubber isolation pads as in my drawing will help dampen the resonance. I would look at the spectral decay (Waterfall in REW) and look to see if the resonance is ringing. If not, it probably is not a problem.

    Here is a very rough sketch to what I was referring. The brace is yellow.

    John Greenewald posted a video covering the Wall Street Journal UAP article. It is worth watching for anyone interested in the topic beyond just trolling. John was interviewed for the article, for hours, and provided to the author numerous official U.S. documents obtained under FOIA pertaining...

    Perhaps. If you feel inclined, you could get an accelerometer and measure the enclosure vibrations to confirm it is not the enclosure. Also, you could try experimenting with internal bracing to see if it mitigates the resonance - maybe an H-shaped brace extending front to back internally with...
