Long shot but does anyone have or know of a free and open format F-18 3d model file, ideally with the canopy modelled and 2 seats. If not I'll try to model the canopy but I suck at modelling.

Stick an led on it at night it would look crazy

I think Loon balloons are too big at 15m the jet would have to be moving faster than it's capable of to account for the object size increase in the time frame given by the exif data.

Interestingly the latest Blender in Cycles allows iris blade count as a camera property, if you set 3 blades, DoF on and a different focus object, a tiny out of focus sphere with an emission texture gives you this shape. Might be useful for any simulations we want to try in the future.

Welcome Paul

Do we have the year Stellaris has the oculars plugin which will simulate the FOV etc of an telescope, if knew what to enter wwe could approximate the FOV.

The slightly rounded triangle shape makes me think it's more likely the iris than a triangular focusing aid but both are very plausible.

Maybe we're falling for the trick, an understaffed and under skilled UAPTF works out Metabunk is the best way to id stuff, leaks videos to UFO proponents so we graciously step in and analyse them for them, UAPTF marks another one as solved and collects their bonus.

That's the rub at the moment, if these videos were to show up attached to civilians this analysis is likely accepted by all but the the most insane, the veneer of being "confirmed by the Pentagon" is now elevating them to national press coverage, but really when you peak behind the curtain there...

And UAP is Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, a termed likely coined to include the possibility that there is no actual object (UFO) being seen, for instance sensor glitch or a glare or some other optical effect?

Trying to debate on Reddit is pointless they can just ignore you and keep going in a different thread. If people think this explanation is wrong they can always come here and bring evidence.

One reason could be the triangle comes from the iris on the NVD but the phone has a more round aperture so if it's getting glare from the amplified signal in the NVD then it would glare like this, remember there are 2 cameras here. Jesse's setup seems more controlled then the original video as...

Odd how they never debate over here.

Show a screenshot of what you mean.

I understand the way wind affects the ability of a plane to fly, perhaps we can look up some data for the day they were taken. How would they establish the radar position if it were small balloon not reflecting radar? This goes back to Micks statement in the OP For me this one line makes the...

Given the object is stationary the speed I am calculating is ground speed relative the stationary object.

Mach number is dependent on air pressure, knots is nautical miles per hour

only the iPhone 8 plus has a 2x optical zoom, as far as I know this is not a plus, unless the EXIF for a plus still puts iPhone 8 in the camera model field. Trying to judge the angles from the iPhone in hand in a moving banking jet seems less accurate than just doing the increase in size in...

Using the calculator above and given we know the full camera specs so by measuring pixels we can calculate: The size given a distance or the distance given a size, however we do not know either of the variables so we don't gain much here alone. We can however measure approx jet speed by...
