Keep in mind the Sitrec recreation is based on very low resolution data (Az and El) which does not capture:
A) The precise angles the camera - the field of view is about 2° vertically, and Az and El are only accurate to about 1°, which is half...

So I chopped it down to just the S-30 portion. Added the radomes exactly where they should be, and the mountain profile is a good match.
It's very obvious that the range value is not working...

This thing was flying way out of florida into the ocean with a c-130 tanker following. Idk where it went...
This video has footage from two locations, called S-13 and S-30, indicated by the text on the lower left of the screen. I haven't found anyofficial or unofficial list of where the S sites are in the Nellis Complex. The only one thats known is S-4...
First pass Sitrec:

The location of the camera was suggested by Marik. I'm not sure how accurate it is.
There's a new menu option: "Segment" which lets you highlight portions of the track. The first...
Thanks! I shall put it into Sitrec later today.
BTW, I've set up Sitrec so anyone can create a sitch. It's somewhat hampered by the lack of documentation, but I'm gradually improving it...
I'm attaching the information extracted from the frames in CSV format. Some of the numbers in the footage can be hard to tell apart such as 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9, so I have stacked and enhanced the best related frames to improve readability (also...
A nice image and article about how to see starlink flares...

This image is particularly interesting, showing the western 'dusk' flares and eastern 'dawn' flares...
Not impossible. I've been working on making it more general purpose, so you can set up your own situations. And of course they might use it for Aguadilla. I'd be surprised though.
The problem is that those lighting balloons are white and black. where as the visual photo loks grey and black/dark grey.
i did though finally find a photo that shows the white could perhaps blend into the sky if it was a grey day.
and 'cone...
Everything not moving in the view (assuming the camera does not rotate) is moving relative to the plane at 352 feet per second, or 11.7 feet per frame.
If it were 100 feet long it would move 0.117 times its length (11.7/100) per frame.
The...
It's an assumption to test the question: "is this consistent with a balloon".
If it can be shown to be moving under its own power then that would invalidate the balloon hypothesis.
But what we can say is that there is nothing inconsistent...
