A slightly neater illustration of the converging (in 2D) essentially parallel (in 3D) rays And on lighter note, here's me from a few years ago illustrating how shadows change in 2D as your position changes.

Everyone is kind of correct. The problem (not really an important or useful one) is one of precision in terminology. 3D vs. 2D, line segments (between two points) vs. rays (hypothetical projection of a line segment to infinity). Lines that are...

It's just another example of the tired old argument based on the misunderstanding (or willful misunderstanding) about parallel sunrays and perspective. There's the Apollo Hoax argument about more than one light source on a soundstage: That...

Center pivot irrigation was also suggested on Reddit yesterday. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/z4fqca/comment/ixrarxs/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Discussion on an Ag forum: Most around here have the strobes on the pivot to let you know the machine is still walking. It's a nice feature since you don't have to go to the pivot and make sure it is still operating correctly. Some have the end...

Looks like "Keith Foster" (keithfoster8021) beat me to it, a comment on this video. Keith Foster 9 hours ago Every single center pivot irrigation system in southwest Kansas has strobe lights flashing on them while they are watering crops. These...

A possibility is center pivot lights on irrigation systems. Basically warning lights to show the large circular irrigation systems are moving Here's one filmed from a mile away. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ravARvIB5rE

For the air data, see the first line here: Compare to: Through the video the degrees for lat and lon are always 31° and 111°, so the "Raw-Latitude" and "Raw-Longitude" omit them. Coincidentally the first minutes value is also 31, which is a...

I doubt they'll ever see it. Certainly they won't acknowledge it.

I have taken the Data points in Appendix E of the SCU report and plotted the data in 3d using Google Earth in a similar style to Figure A8.. Figure A8 In 3d In Google Earth... Green is at ground level. Red is at 14800 ft. By joining the...

On page 5, Reali says: The object is tracked by an airplane and appears to be moving at a velocity against the wind as described one of the pilots in Appendix F Sec. 6 (p. 46). The plane is circling the object at 157...

They do give a link to a HD version of part 2 of the video: https://zenodo.org/record/7301342/files/Rubber%20Duck%202.ts?download=1 Which might be useful if someone ever wants to play with automated screen scraping of coordinates, or suchlink...

More bad (or, at the very least, entirely unclear) reasoning: Reali, page 42: In Fig. A8 (p. 17) and Fig. E2 (below), the green line shows a possible trajectory of the object as the plane tracks it in its circular path. The yellow points RV1, RV5...

Incredibly weird, as it seems by far the most obvious hypothesis, and the one that best fits the data. They seem to start off assuming the object is moving parallel to the plane: Reali, Page 13...
