That drone is a helicopter style not quadcopter so it's performance might be different to a quadcopter.

Could large commercial drones be being used by fishing fleets for looking for shoals etc?

They probably just saw it as they flew past a shiny object would stick out against the blue sky. I need the images as raw as I can get as well.

Not being US based not sure if I can grab the EXIF versions from the site, do we know the exact iPhone model? We can work out fov/sensor size/pixel dimensions and the get an approximate distance with an assumption that it is a batman balloon etc. Also I assume there was no attempt to take...

If we had all the JPEGS with EXIF (double bonus if GPS is embedded, however I wouldn't be surprised if it is not) we might get some very approximate scale info, but any speculation on size at this point is baseless.

The whole thing is very odd to me it feels like there is no investigation past the initial release and speculation. It seems very likely that these images are of party balloons. But the Navy does not seem interested in making public any further investigations, and whoever is releasing statements...

The disc shape with rings is like an airy disc, an optical feature doesn't mean it's not an object just that it's pattern could be an artifact of the optical system. In optics, the Airy disk (or Airy disc) and Airy pattern are descriptions of the best-focused spot of light that a perfect lens...

A lot of these cases hinge on what the US DoD counts as 'unidentified' and how potentially useful using that term is for then to not give away what they actually do or don't know.

Liberia is a very common port of convenience for ship registrations. The gist seems to be that countries use drones to spy on US ships on the regular and the navy don't do anything to intervene because it's not worth it. They are probably keeping track on it though.

It's worth holding in mind that this is all US sources, the budget, scope and power of the US military is vast compared to even other 'superpower' nations. They have a global reach with subs/carriers/satellites/aircraft etc that creates a CNC system that allows drones to be operated like that...

Random thoughts You could have the drone collect the information, store locally in a rugged storage device and then dump in the see with a beacon for retrieval. The main problem is as you allude to small drones = short range, you can't easily launch a small drone and spy on a on say a carrier...

Maybe should have just nailed him down to Go Fast, spent the whole video on it if required talk him through the maths I get he's not an 'expert' and always just defers to them. However the figures are right there on the screen. It's not about seeing it just a camera view the actual figures are...

Honestly I have the opposite view, science is the thing that brings magic and wonder into my life, the true universe is amazing on its own.

Yeah so not a cat head because the cats body is missing, however the stripes on the body which may be contributing to a thylacine interpretation, look to be shadows from the overhanging reeds.

I really, really want to see you and him talk through the 'Go Fast' video, for a few reasons. The analysis presented on the TTSA page is mathematically trivially proven wrong using some really basic maths with the data provided on the overlay on the video. There's no complicated specs of ATFLIR...

Well from what I can find the actual rune referenced in the original post doesn't have the 'wings' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes The Nazi logo does as does the stage, they seem a little redundant if everyone just using the stage as a pathway to get to the pulpit however if you wanted...

Possibly, the internet is sparse on details regarding if this is possible likely because the main feature of cruise missiles is to fly low and navigate by terrain. So you'd probably need an expert on the various cruise missile types/variants to confirm or otherwise. They do tend to have...

I watched it, here's a precisis Initial view is it's a composite due to lack of shadow and effects of "ship" air displacement on trees, drone etc (of course alient craft proponents will claim that it uses some novel propulsion/force field that eliminate these effects and the sonic boom etc)...

Normal AA/ATG missiles are generally really fast, but cruise missiles are more like mini planes designed for precision at extreme ranges, they fly low to avoid radar and normal AA defenses though they do get shot down sometimes.
