Yeah and the specs do list tracking methods for the type of optics used in drones, per the previously posted spec It seems less and less likely it's from a real drone camera to me. Thermographic Smooth zoom Not tracked Minimal overlay

Only if the subject is not also also being tracked by RADAR which maintains the ATFLIR on target even without optical tracking working. It seems that the common design decision for military optics means that lighter/faster lens switches are prefered to zoomable optics even if it can cause a...

So I had a feeling the single frame sat video was stretched horizontally and the stereo vid was squashed In the drone video the orbs are circular/spherical, but in the single frame video they are not It doesn't make much sense though because in the single frame sat vid the mouse cursor and...

Probably gonna need to see the original files from the device for this one.

Yes there is a triclops variant of the grey eagle https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2011-11-04/us-gray-eagle-uav-gets-more-sensors-and-multi-control

Another thought if the camera is wing mounted as part of the "triclops" variant why not use the camera on the left?

It does, it's a similar thing as we see in the ATFLIR videos, they do a 2:1 or 4:1 digital crop to decrease the FOV for the viewer (I think ATFLIR is only 2x crop) Smooth zooms are fairly useless for practical combat use, you want it zoomed NOW and fine control over the actual FOV is not...

Yes it's another point against it being real other military cameras like this we have seen flip the lens to zoom and/or digitally crop for closer FOV, they never use smoothly moveable optics to zoom like a zoom lens for a ILC, it's possible they can use smooth rather than stepped digital FOV...

Here is a video of an MQ-1C in Arma 3, so it exists Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F5pESStNTc Edit, the thumbnail for this is not a MQ-1C though so not sure, this is what they look like, this mod might just be someone's fantasy drone givena real name.

Can you see if there are any MQ-1C Gray Eagle simulations, that include useable camera/optics that are pylon mounted?

Is there any It's more that in the drone video it would seem they just caught up with it as it starts with the untracked fly past, then in just enough time for people not to get bored the orbs appear and then the vanishing happens.

I totally agree, I just wanted to highlight it to give you the ability to respond to it incase it was bought up.

I'm not so sure, it might be because the UNFOV is different between IR and TV

The GPS coordinates in the video match the general area

"GIMBAL is only 10 miles if it flies this weird magical j-hook path that is an exact mimic of the movement of the aircraft tracking it, plus and minus any positional/speed delta" "Well of course it did that its an alien spacecraft capable of anything we can imagine"

Unfortunately all the good enough MQ-X drone models are $$ https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/general-atomics-mq-1c-gray-eagle-b9b14cbee23246bc8d4f3320bfa978c7

You are gonna have to evidence this claim.

Another avenue is then the area covered in that FOV and the resolution shown in the video and how that stacks up for realistic video camera performance.

This is the reason why an decent accurate 3d model of the drone would be useful and also a 777. I can work out the supposed position of the camera on the drone wings and then the FOV to recreate the plane angle and then we can work out the apparent distances and see if they make sense and if...

So if the satellite video is being panned around, is it supposedly a single video with a much larger FOV?
