The case for the grain overlay from pond5 is rock solid IMO. There is really no question that is the exact overlay used. /r/Skinnybob is a pretty fun sub to read. There are a few true believers there but also plenty of skeptics who just want to find the source of the footage once and for all...

Nice video! Would the FLIR also pick up the collision/navigation lights on the wings if it were observing a civilian airliner?

Even if the object were rotating couldn't it just be another fighter jet doing a roll? The video itself has never been all that interesting despite the imagination of UFO fans. All the stuff that led up to the object being in the camera's sight is what makes it interesting but that's much...

Pleasantly surprised to see him ignore the rotation as I've felt people on both 'sides' have been a little too hyperfocused on that facet of the video. It ultimately doesn't matter if it's the gimbal rotating or the object itself. He makes a pretty compelling argument if the math checks out...

IIRC he's still in the Navy so his name hasn't been made public although his identity isn't too hard to figure out. He's never commented, openly or anonymously, on the subject as far as we're aware. Dietrich's co-pilot Jim Slaight has spoken about it a few times and even did an onscreen...

Bill's messaging on the topic seems pretty consistent. Here he is a few days ago answering a similar question: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSk2hfFsXiI As far as I'm aware this is the first time we've heard that NASA is actively "studying" the phenomenon even though Bill implies...

Agreed, seems pretty clear what they're saying. They do speak with a bit of an accent, it might sound a bit slurred to people outside of America.

No it doesn't. Kurth has always maintained he was above Fravor. https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2021/05/former-lt-col-douglas-kurth-speaks-out.html

Yes the idea that that videos and slides represent training material has been a hypothesis for as long as the media itself has been in the public eye. I scanned the article but didn't really see anything new or noteworthy. All the same stuff that has been discussed here for years and I don't...

The idea that those in positions of power within the government are waxing poetic about mysterious "things" in the sky just to avoid hurting the feelings of someone like Harry Reid is, frankly, laughable. Every time a question about this stuff is posed from those in the media it comes with...

I don't think anyone has ever questioned whether or not San Clemente is used to launch aircraft. Is your contention that the USS Kidd situation can be explained by friendly, yet unidentified for some reason, drones?

I get that. I guess I just don't understand the inordinate fixation from all parties on the rotation, be it from the object itself or from the gimbal. What difference does it make? If the rotation is from the gimbal it doesn't debunk the entire saga and if the rotation is from the object it...

Why is there so much focus on whether or not it rotated? Would known aircraft be incapable of rotating in the manner believers have hypothesized the video shows?

Is your position that the people giving briefings to committees, Congress, Obama, etc. are either falsifying information to make it seem a little more fantastic than it really is or they're somehow more inept than the people on this forum when it comes to analyzing data? I suppose it would be...

"Why don't they shoot at it?" This question comes up often. Using any sort of ordinance outside of combat is highly controlled. Shooting at an unidentified target outside of combat just isn't something that happens for very obvious reasons. Also, encounters between foreign jets, ships, etc...

Would the parallax illusion explain the descent to 1,500 feet as it "streaked out of sight?" It's unclear if that was just his perception (likely) or corroborated by equipment. I found this note from the article interesting as well. Parallax could explain the perception of an object...

Thanks so much Tim. This aligns with what I've gleaned from reaching out to people and doing reading on the subject. I've found zero evidence that launching balloons from American submarines is something that is done today or in the recent past.

Pretty much, yes. The Air Force is very hesitant to get themselves back into the UFO conversation whereas it's rather new for the Navy. Seeing unexplained "stuff" on ships has been par for the course for hundreds, if not thousands, of years so it kind of makes ironic sense that the Navy would...

Would recording the screens inside the CIC/ICC happen often enough to warrant including that as a feature though? Most Navy members who have commented on the video have remarked on how unusual it would be to have a phone out recording anything inside that area. I think the "target not...

Same. Hopefully we're not getting too off-topic here, feel free to delete if so, but I think this conversation is worth having in the broader context of these "leaks" and the legalities involved in both the recording of the videos and the dissemination of them to the media. Recording/Phone Use...
