Brian Dunning, host of Skeptoid, turns up again and again in these archives, usually once the witnesses have spoken. He calls the Trinity crash claim of 1945 a literal hoax. On Shag Harbour, in 2017, he argues that marine flares or a meteoric fireball fit the reports. On St. Clair County, in 2014, he agrees with the FAA. An advertising blimp. His verdicts are not always dismissals. In 2023 he said the Michigan swamp gas explanation could not account for what witnesses saw, and he called that case unsolved.
