I haven't followed this closely, but I'm very impressed, both by the amount of work that Edward Current has put into it, and by the rather good fit of the resulting simulation to the original Gimbal video. OK, it's not perfect, but what is? I agree with comments that there are too many...

In 1939 Nazi Germany used false-flag attacks to justify the invasion of Poland. Yes, really: they claimed they were responding to Polish aggression, having staged some attacks on German soil by German troops in Polish uniforms. Of course, behind the scenes they had already agreed with...

Agreed it is difficult to visualise! If we are piling in with suggestions for Mick, I have a few: 1. Critics of Mick's theory claim that various experts on ATFLIR (either pilots or technicians) disagree with him on the technicalities of the system. Since the 'experts' are usually unnamed...

Thanks, I'll remember that. I use the Internet Archive a lot for out-of-copyright books, but for some reason I had never used the Wayback Machine. When I tried it this time, it gave the prompt to 'enter URL or key words', and as I didn't have a URL ready I entered some keywords like 'nimitz...

Thanks. I did try the wayback machine, but I haven't used it before and my search term must have been too vague.

I wanted to take another look at the so-called Executive Report on the 'tic tac', which is often referred to in this thread, but when I tried my bookmarked link all I got was a 'website expired' notice: https://thevault.tothestarsacademy.com/tictacreport/tag/AAV I dare say the report is still...

There are at least 2 studies in the UK (separately in England and Scotland, if I recall) suggesting that Omicron is less harmful than Delta. Reported in the UK press in the last few days, but I'm not going to search for them just now, as it's Christmas Day! 'Less harmful' doesn't mean...

In my neck of the woods, at least, people wouldn't throw an object of any value (e.g. a fancy frisbee) across random neighbours' back gardens, because they would never get it back. They would take it to a park. But I must say I am very impressed by the video at #53. I would not have expected...

I thought so too. As I said at #4 above: As to 'camera effects', on advancing the video frame-by-frame, in the last 10 frames the pattern on the object appears to rotate or fluctuate in some way, but the overall shape of the object - a kind of elongated leaf shape, which I think botanists...

It could be. But to make this a non-hoax video, we would need a double coincidence: a coincidental bit of traffic noise that starts as the object appears; and someone happens to have a camera pointing in just the right direction when a brief and unexpected thing happens. It's not impossible...

That's a pretty good match to the still pic at #2 above. The noise still needs to be accounted for. If it is deliberately added to the soundtrack, that involves an element of hoax, even if the visual was just an 'accident'.

I had some qualms about that too, but I suppose it could be said that anyone who films videos around their own house and then posts them on YouTube is fair game. I recall the Teignmouth 'ufo moon' case, where identifying the location of the original photograph was really useful (though in the...

Playing the video in slow motion (x.25) I noticed that just before the end, at 0:10 seconds, and after the 'comb' has disappeared behind the window frame, a small object or dark blob of some kind appears protruding from the left side of the window frame, about half-way up. I don't think it can...

On seeing the pic at #2, I wondered if it was a piece of broken garden fencing. There were a lot of severe gales in the UK in 2020 (and some this year too). After the gales some streets were littered with bits of broken fence and other garden furniture. A problem with any 'blowing in the...

That's a fair point. It just doesn't seem obvious in that particular video. If the main factor in visibility were the angle from which the plume is viewed, one might expect to see a continuous change in visibility of the plume as the angle changes. But at 0:11 in the video, when the planes...

I think this issue has come up before. The main gases in the atmosphere - nitrogen and oxygen - are very bad at absorbing or emitting infra-red radiation. That's one of the major factors in the so-called 'greenhouse effect'. So 'hot air', in the ordinary sense, does not emit much IR, and...

Very good point. Assuming (1) that the jet fighters are travelling approximately at right angles to the direction of view, (2) that they don't change their speed or direction relative to the viewpoint), and (3) that the flares are all of the same type, then presumably the horizontal distance...

The most relevant dimension is probably the diameter of the fuselage, which is basically a cylinder tapering at both ends. The usual sources (i.e. Wikipedia!) don't usually give this dimension in the 'specifications' for aircraft. A figure given for 'height' will probably be the height...

The Reddit discussion, which is probably ongoing, has several comments supporting the 'flares' hypothesis, e.g. [I have corrected a few obvious spelling or typing errors.] The leading hypothesis is that there is a formation of fighter jets (therefore much smaller than a military transport like...

Maybe just Too Far Away? It's difficult to judge scale and distance, with only the clouds for comparison. I guess that a small plane without lights at a distance of, say, 10 miles would be invisible without magnification.
