Umm.. this reeks of pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo. Doesn't help that the website is an "open" platform (i.e. doesn't have proper peer review or other safeguards).

Frankly, this has no place in a science community.

Have you read the paper, also the references at the end? Or is that you belief more in little green mens instead of plasma phenomenons, which explains a lot of the Unidentified Flying Objects?

I did read it, in fact. I disagree with the methodology, as well as the unsubstantiated non scientific guesswork involved in reaching many of their conclusions.

This is nothing but speculation. It is not a rigorous analysis of empirical data. I'm short, it's not science.
