Recent visuals of Starlink satellite train captured in Farrukhabad, UP
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The claim concerns a string of lights in the night sky, presented as recent footage of a Starlink satellite train captured in Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh. FACTLY reports that the video was not from the recent Uttar Pradesh sightings: it found the same footage had appeared earlier on YouTube under a title identifying it as a view from Poland. The review concludes that this older video was being recirculated as recent local footage. To check the video’s provenance, the review says it ran a reverse image search on keyframes taken from the viral clip. It also compared the viral version with the earlier upload and checked the background audio, reporting that both versions used the same sound. Those comparisons support its identification of the footage as the same video, rather than merely a similar view of lights in the sky.

Deze beelden tonen dat in Rusland verlaten Tesla-spoelen gevonden zijn, waarmee rechtstreeks vanuit ether energie kan worden opgewekt.
Publisher’s rating: De claim dat een bouwwerk van Teslaspoelen gevonden zou zijn in Rusland klopt niet. De enorme installatie is een Marx-generator, om bliksem op te wekken, en geen Tesla-spoel.

La chaîne française TF1 sous-entend que l'humain n'a jamais marché sur la Lune.
Publisher’s rating: La journaliste n’a à aucun moment sous-entendu que l’humanité n’a jamais mis les pieds sur la Lune. Elle a simplement évoqué une nouvelle mission de la NASA, jugée exceptionnelle car c’est la première fois que l’on tente d’aller si loin dans l’espace.

Aufnahme des Webb-Teleskops wurde laut Metadaten mit Photoshop bearbeitet, daher sind sie fake.
Publisher’s rating: Es ist gängige Praxis in vielen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, Ergebnisse mit Hilfsmitteln besser verständlich oder sichtbar zu machen. Diese Methodik hat nichts mit inhaltlichen Fälschungen zu tun. Die von der Nasa veröffentlichten Bilder des Webb-Teleskops sind echt.
