Not really. There's some discussion in threads, but there really needs to be more formal documentation.
SL Flare angle is the range of angles at which a satellite is considered to be reflecting the sun. Bigger angle, more satellites will...
Yes, you should be able to just drag them in (to the NightSky sitch), then set the date/time and location. You should then be able to create a permalink.
It looks very much to me, in the close up better quality, to be some random juxtaposition of light and objects, in combination with the background behind the glass, that just happens to look a bit like a torso.
I'm going to need a little more motive than that....
This is a ridiculous, specious, and error-riddle theory. I'm surprised that even Ross gave it time.
Unfortunately that's as far as you are going to get with this footage. There's just nothing there to work with, and it requires quite a bit of imagination to see anything in the dark shapes.
You can't prove there's nothing there, but nothing...

6. All Other Explanations Ruled Out: Not Wreckage, Not Debris, Not Ice
It is highly improbable that these entities are kilometer-in-diameter blocks of ice or “space junk”. Not only do they lack solidity or rigidity, but they pulsate with light...
It turned out the software was automatically enforcing the latest TLE data, instead of loading the TLE for the period 5/6 Aug 23 and 7/8 Aug 23, as specified. Now with the issue solved, the simulation corroborates the sky chart for the region...
I wrote a bit about the problems with determining iPhone video start time here:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/how-to-determine-the-start-time-of-an-iphone-video.13408/
You can't really verify the time unless you have the original video. Even...
For accurate skydentification an accurate time is often very useful. "Accurate" here means within a second, and ideally down to the millisecond.
iPhones, like most digital cameras, encode the date/time a video was taken. But they also encode...
Of slight interest, refraction makes the stars and the planes be somewhat vertically compressed near the horizon. I've aliged the image so the nearby stars (and the horizon) match, which gives the perfect match with the ADS-B tracks. But that...
I've also reviewed and improved the Sitrec model.

I've added the capability to overlay one view on another, which you can see best in the MISB sitch, but here when I overlaid the image on the 3D...
