Sounds quite like a plausible scenario indeed.

But as the Navy and military is so keen on having instruments that can provide corroborative information, I am a bit lost in the words of Luie. Because, he sounds like only talking about visual imagery. Is it not so, that when someone on a boat sees something, that the ship's intel will start to...

@Max Phalange, To obtain the angular distance of the blinking lights, the size of the triangle formed by the bokeh is not useable indeed. But, the relative position of the overlapping triangles (thus, the lights under the fuselage) does or can give a scale, even if it not in focus. but of...

A setting sun should lit any flying object from below, but magically the objects in the video are illuminated from the top. Hilarious!

Agreed, gtoffo. It is context-less and lacks reference points to give a sense of scale.

I guess this fella here is a little shy and does not want to discuss his opinion in this sub. So I share it here. I am not even bothered in trying to convince anyone about the optics etc. They do not want to hear it, so alas. Source: https://twitter.com/4Eridani/status/1385143031637155841

Does anybody know what "the May 1st 2020 ONI UAPTF briefing" was, exactly? And, aren't briefings a regular thing in Navy? I am not saying that what is shown in the slides is not interesting, but are we not (again) looking at over hyped things..

Interesting, and this depends on which state you are in, I imagine? Everything gets so complicated, it seems.

Good going guys. I do not hear any mention of laws and other governmental stuff, like "covid passports" and such. You guys are "lucky"! In my country everyone is getting nuts and the government literally wants to create a "test society" and has funded it with 1 billion Euros, which includes...

Hey guys, just curious, how is it going for you in the States? I understand of course all states treat Covid differently, that's why. Over here (The Netherlands), it is still one big shitty mess. Still major lockdown, "fieldlab" tests being cancelled, "the pubs" being opened again, but only 60%...

Cool feature! I use(d) optical simulation software for my job, called Zemax (now Optic Studio). If you would know the exact description of the optical assembly, you can optically, and correctly, simulate anything you want. However, as it is likely a protected optical design, finding out the...

I still try.. I am not sure why I do, as you are right, it is hopeless. Ok, I am also not free of error or do I claim to have the ultimate truth, but boy, the r/UFOs community is a tough crowd.

Interestingly on Reddit they are trying to disprove the above video. It gets hilarious.

To me this nails it 100%.

Agreed. Best to keep things factual.

I am not an expert, but is it normal the target cross/box changes from solid to ones with gaps?

Agreed, this happens before he squeezes the iphone to the telescope. Telescopes have an eye piece, and therefore the distance of your eye (and phone) wrt the eyepiece strongly determines how objects are in focus or not.

It doesn't matter how the plane looks like or how it behaves. What matters is that the lights are defocussed (just a tiny bit!) and this creates the blurry triangle (bokeh) caused by the aperture. So, the plane (or even UFO for that matter) in Luis video, is NOT resolved and therefore you cannot...

Interestingly, the fact that most of the "UAP hype" seems to happen in the USA, perfectly to fits your/the narrative..

How stupid it may sound, but I think this can be one of the explanations. What if the Navy wants the "enemy" to believe they cannot detect simple things?
