Aaro does list things as orbs. Now that's probably based on verbal reports rather than what they see on video. But it is essentially an official classification. If the original reporting party called them orbs, theh that's probably what they...

It does get a lock at this point, but it's on what seems to be a wave (the objects continue off screen). The SLR and GDR don't change when it happens. The 14M is, I think, the size of the rectangle indicated by the corners. Which makes the...

The drone (i.e. the camera platform drone). It is not locked onto the target, so it knows nothing about it. Purely visual. Correct, although that's not that relevant in calculating the altitude above the ocean. Any point would do.

Since the system is not locked onto an aerial target, it shows the distance to the ground behind the middle of the screen. We can convert these numbers to altitude using Pythagoras. SLR is the hypotenuse, the slant range GDR is the base of the...

I've roughly stabilized it using Sitrec's Auto Tracking (with "Center on Bright"). There are a couple of spots it missed where it goes off screen or behind the timestamp. But enough to get a sense of the motion of the ocean. I think the MQ-9...

Probably waves, but it's hard to see their scale. They are over the ocean. But good point, an object cannot be bigger than its outline projected onto something behind it, so if those are regular waves then that's some indication of size.

The ISS is a bright point of light that moves across the sky in what looks like a straight line. It physically cannot spin (except very slowly), and any spinning would not be noticeable to the naked eye. That said, it might LOOK like it's...

Here's a video I took showing a similar contrail at various stages

I thought it looked like a 747. They have a distinctive, large double swoop of contrail. Flight AIH242, Reg HL7620. Air Zeta cargo flight...

That's 100% an ordinary contrail. Condensation behind the plane, viewed at a shallow angle.

This sounds like a short sunlit contrail. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/more-strange-lights-in-the-sky-short-sunlit-contrails.2582/ http://contrailscience.com/short-sunlit-contrails-look-like-ufos/

I have updated this post to cover video: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/skydentify-guidelines-for-submitting-photos-and-videos.2618/

We'll need to see something. Maybe start with a screenshot?
