What spoon-bending is describing is a well-known known as the Phenomenon, or " bias". But in his mind, it's spectacular proof of . Uri routinely panders to the , mind, and this is no different. You can safely discard anything this guy has to say.

note:

When I was experimenting with my nixie tube display board (for my clock) I noticed that the more current the nixie tubes would draw, the less voltage there would be across them...

If I ignited the tubes with 190V they would draw 2.5 mA each and there would be 130V across the tubes (the rest was across the dropping resistors).

But if I ignited the tubes with 170V they would only draw 1.5mA and there was 140V across the tubes.

This is called negative resistance.

I don't understand why people are constantly claiming that every arial they don't understand is a . It's the ultimate argumentum ad ignorantiam (argument from ), and one that could be avoided with a simple search or two. Sometimes UFOs are legit. Most of the time they're not. But claiming that well-understood, natural phenomena are is just stupid.

: Sometimes mistaken for , ("Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement") is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that appears as a purple and green light ribbon in the sky, named in late 2016 by aurora watchers from Alberta, Canada.

The is not rare, but had not been investigated and described scientifically prior to that time.

A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon which is created when a light is reflected off by ice crystals giving out roughly horizontal parallel light beams. The light can come from the moon or other terrestrial sources like volcanic eruptions or even streetlights. Light pillars belong to the family of halos.
