Something else I noticed. There appears to be a second satellite captured on video.
You can see it pulsing in the video.
Looking at in-the-sky.org there does appear to be a satellite with a very similar trajectory at the same time the CSS...
Also there's a part in the video where the Pan and Tilt (elevation) angles for the camera are shown
Pan (bearing) 346.8 degrees, and Tilt (Elevation) 83 degrees. That puts the camera pointing at the same point that the CSS satellite entered...
Hey @jimmyslippin - I think I've identified the satellite. Looking at your video we can see that the UFO is moving in the direction of the arrow below:
The direction of movement can then be put onto the annotated starmap, showing its path...
I think I had the time wrong, used the last saved metadata time rather than the created time. that puts the aircraft much further on in its flight and therefore unlikely to be Starlink flares.
Should be fixed. I could not duplicate #2, but it might be a side effect of other things I fixed. If it's still happening, please post the KML and how you make it happen.
A reply sent by Suffolk police to an unidentified person asking questions about the incident implies they might have suspected that, but it was sent in 1999 (19 years later), I don't think we've got evidence of contemporary suspicions.
Last...
Seems to be in the right place, right time, for Starlink flares
(@Mick West - sitrec doesn't seem to be 1) showing the flare band and 2) showing flare-arrows when using the kml as the camera position source)

The timing, just a few hours after the celebrations of Christmas Day, would perhaps make the possibility of inebriation of the witnesses somewhat greater at that time than it would be if it were a day later.
According to Col. Conrad's recollection cited above (he was the base commander at the time), the party was interrupted at 21:30 on the night before Halt undertook his expedition; he had a whole day to get his team and equipment together.
I...
first time mentioned on the tape is "ENGLUND: At approximately 01.25 hours...", and they hadn't seen any lights yet. Col. Conrad put the start of the tape at 0200 (see above), which may be approximate. Either way, not 0:30 by a long stretch...
