Voting needs JavaScript and a free account. You sign in with just your email (we send you a link, no password), and it's one vote per person so nobody can stuff the box.
Real means you think something truly unexplained happened. Hoax means somebody made it up. Misidentified means it was something ordinary that fooled people.
