No worries I made the same error earlier

The date in the video is in UTC/Zulu time not local time.

And the Peruvian military spent a year investigating and failing to insert something that turned out to be identified as a commercial airliner within a few days of the footage being released. People make errors, multiple people can make multiple errors in the same scenario.

It's just nonsense, "it's so advanced it can cloak to visible light, but we know it probably didn't go underwater because it didn't show up on SONAR, also it might have been able to cloak from SONAR"

A UAS can also be a balloon.

The spec sheet for the SAFIRE III gives the laser range finder a max range of 25KM "Rangefinder Max. range 25 km +/-5 m Classification: Class 1 (eyesafe)" https://www.flir.co.uk/products/star-safire-iii/

I find Alex Dietrich's statement on the technology interesting, one one hand her listing of science achievements and how we don't know what the future of technology holds is kind of a positive way of looking at things, but we do have a slow steady line of well known, documented small...

Nice work on identifying the camera system that's going to be really useful, I mentioned the az numbers seeming to go backwards after the cut in a previous post but didn't have enough data to plot stuff like you did. I did find that the range of other military laser range finders did seen to be...

Maybe a video with the crosshairs cloned out in each frame would show the movement more clearly, not sure how that is practical that is to do. I checked the audio track waveform for obvious signs of cuts/splicing, but there's nothing sticking out.

All we can analyse is the video though, anything else is speculation. There are a couple of possible things 1. Drone panic, the military is worried about actual drones, asks for sightings, this causes military people to see drones everywhere and mistake common phenomena like...

Mick, there is still drift of the object to the right though? If this was filmed from the rear of the ship, which was moving almost due west, the wind was coming from the NW so it could be getting blown left to right and slightly away from the ship.

So quick calc on ship speed and direction based on co-ords and time I figure we have fairly accurate co-ords of 32° 29.118' N 119° 20.177' W @ 05:52:572 and 32° 29.218' N 119° 21.497' W @ ~06:00 1.29 miles in 8 minutes 8.4 knots almost due west

All the SeaFLIR II AN/KAX-2 footage I can find has a different HUD.

Might be a stretch but I wonder if the image is coming from a Phalanx Thermal Imager on the CIWS https://www.leonardodrs.com/media/12195/pti_datasheet.pdf Or could be from https://www.seaforces.org/usnships/lcs/Independence-class.htm

https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=WDIR WDIR On a buoy report, wind direction (the direction the wind is coming from in degrees clockwise from true N) during the same period used for WSPD. So wind directly from the NW What do we think this reading is Azimuth of camera relative to...

There could be a localised depression or squall. Is there some narrative I am unaware of for an extraordinary explanation justified by the weather?

So 20kts gusts to 24kts at sea level. 2 meter waves

They were 90km away at sea, weather can be pretty different out in the open seas.

Look at the sea Also note that patches of the sea are the same black level as the object.

They say they used the RADAR tracks to point the ATFLIR, the tracks they had were aging tracks ie they were picked up a while ago and since there was no new update the current position of the track was based on prediction from the last actual contact. All we know from the video is that the...
