my understanding is that the account basically says We were flying along in search mode and got some returns on the the radar that initially had location, direction and speed, ie the RADAR return was good enough at some point for the RADAR in search mode to acquire enough information allocate...

I went back to the original executive summary report the RADAR is set to be in So what does this mean RWS range while searching, is a standard AA mode. 80NM is the effective range. 4bar is interesting, this refers to the vertical search of the RADAR...

I wasn't sure what L+S (L&S) stood for so I did some digging Again sim manuals are seemingly the main source of information (where do the sim makers get their info from...?) https://forums.vrsimulations.com/support/index.php/Air-To-Air_Systems#Launch_.26_Steering_Target_.28L.26S.29 Launch &...

"So he initiated that range in TV, just doing the optical track, it looks like here, so you are not going to get a range in TV" this is false. You can get range in TV mode from the radar. He means the track is not slaved to a RADAR target, which is isn't, no slaved RADAR track means the subject...

Welcome!

I think it's worth stating again the visual/IR aspects of the camera don't have a range limit, other (laser designator) aspects might. But a camera is a camera if there's enough photons hitting the sensor the camera will detect it.

Lenses are generally designed to be rectilinear but of course it's harder to obtain a fully rectilinear image that isn't overly distorted the wider a lens gets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_lens#:~:text=In photography, a rectilinear lens,no barrel or pincushion distortion. In...

This is pretty much what I thought based on watching the same video, thanks for summing up so well.

This website is a useful tool for identifying stars/constellations from images, it can provide context for images where there is no location etc given. It only works if enough stars are visible. http://nova.astrometry.net/ About Astrometry.net If you have astronomical imaging of the sky with...

Can anyone nail an ID on this one posted to reddit https://v.redd.it/50cu46lg49x61

Might be time to get that DCS F/18 module now the ATFLIR pod is out, it might not be able to emulate the glare and IR effects but it's lock and slave modes should be fairly accurate. Of course using a simulator will likely be dismissed out of hand but it's the best we can do short of getting our...

Not being locked was mentioned in Micks interview with the anonymous avionics engineer, not sure if this the same vide being referenced. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/avionics-system-technician-discusses-flir-targeting-pods-tracking-and-glare.11392/ "K: Okay, so he's just doing an optical...

Might also be worth mentioning I looked into the DCS F/18 simulation and it seems the current simulation of the ATFLIR pod might not be sophisticated enough try and recreate some what we see from the 3 Navy videos GIMBAL especially.

It's mentioned in the patents IIRC https://www.metabunk.org/threads/gimbal-lock-and-derotation-in-flir-atflir-systems.10792/

Came across this one recently, trained military pilot makes error, crashes B52. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Fairchild_Air_Force_Base_B-52_crash On Friday, 24 June 1994, a United States Air Force (USAF) Boeing B-52 Stratofortress crashed at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, United...

Welcome, feel free to read the extensive threads we have on the Navy reports/videos. There's quite a lot of stuff that gets mixed up in the media with regards to testimony versus the videos, a lot of confusion about the time/dates of the videos and the actual testimony. I'm pretty sure that...

Seems this is back, with Washington DC now supposedly having the same thing happen https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/04/mysterious-health-attack-like-those-seen-in-cuba-have-come-to-dc/ The phrase "health attacks" is used. A list of "similar" incidents is give events in Cuba, London, China...

very rough estimate from the zoomed out clip at the start of the video is the object covers 21 pixels of 1020 pixels so around 2% 2% of 212ft is an object 4.2ft across.

When you dehaze the photo in Photoshop, the orange hue on the sunlit side shows up more

bit of a tangent but did we work out an estimate for the specs of the night vision camera used? Just wondering if we we can work out how big the claimed "pyramid" would be given they are adamant about it being "700ft away"
