Interesting analysis but doesn’t that not make sense since the radar was tracking a fleet of the same objects? Radar wasn’t picking up a fleet of lens flares.


Whereas we have the gimbal video, we don’t have any radar data to look at.

If we’re going to rely on pilots’ conversation as meaningful data, I started to get the impression from the gimbal video that the pilots are fucking around and know it’s a plane, and when they say a “whole fleet of’em out there” (the guy appears to be containing laughter as he says it) they’re sarcastically referring to all the other passenger planes in the sky.
