We do have the stars as an accurate test. If we got the flight ADS-B and the Starlink TLE, and we get a match with the stars, then it's near impossible to be anything else. Anyway, not really worth the work.

The angle of elevation 7 is oddly specific. But it is also above the ridge, which is around 2° Up, and the hill is under 3°

Here's the dock, looking NE. And North:

You can kind of set that up in the current app with a tessellated icosahedron and flat shading, pumping up the metal. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?mod=https://sitrec.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1/modelinspector_mod-8f1ddfd5eeb5c7e7c9212a88abed911c.js And you can tesselate it more:

Theoretically, there's still enough data to ID the flight. You'd have to correlate all Starlink launches with all 777 red eye flights from Sao Paulo to New York. That's too much to do manually and quite a bit of code to even semi-automate.

You can set up a material to be more reflective like that. It's not high dynamic range, but it will show when it's reflecting the sun.

These lights are not stars, presumably reflections, maybe planes, maybe planets, maybe a combination:

https://www.ryangraves.io/p/part-i-why-pilots-arent-reporting From a post by Ryan Graves (posted Jun 28, 2024). Since it's a paid post I'm just extracting the minimum details: a routine red-eye from São Paulo to New York It began with a very bright point of light appearing directly off their...

Getting in sun direction was partly inspired by the Eglin AARO report That looked rather simplistic, but I figured it would be good to have for things like balloons. Of course in Sitrec you can move around the main camera to get a look at what is going on. To good thing about the sun is that...

New UI first. That drop down on the left was getting way too busy, so I've changed it to a menu/widget system that I hacked together from the existing lil-gui code The menus can be detached from the bar and then remain open. You can drag them back or double-click on the title to send it back...

I found another photo of the models: Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Scalemodel/comments/18k0xv9/une_paix_bien_m%C3%A9rit%C3%A9e_miniart_checkpoint_tamiya/ The hats are interchangable. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-35129-soldiers-at-rest--132562 It's hard to say if it's 100%...

A correspondent suggested the saucer shape might be a 1950s style hat That's labeled a "Cartwheel Hat", although most cartwheel hats have a more raised centers. It's not a perfect match, and looking like something can be misleading.

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe in some add-on

It been eight years, so I'm a bit rusty. But I think the Appleman chart is not really measuring the same thing. My calculator shows when the air is ice supersaturated based on humidity with respect to water, the temperature, and the pressue. Ice supersaturation is a condition for contrail...

They are very careful now to remove all dates and times from screens. This is probably just for continuity reasons, but makes it hard to properly investigate.

This sitch mod simulates a single laser centered in the triangle, there's two cloud layers, one at 2000m above ground level and one at 2200m. Both are 50m thick. The viewpoint is close to the base of the laser, So looking up you just see a blob (two when zoomed in)...

A good example from a long distance showing the laser hitting multiple layers of clouds.

Here's a photo taken from some distance away If we compress the image, we get: The strings on the building get slightly closer together as they get higher, which is correct for the perspective is they are parallel. The lasers diverge, which means they are not parallel. I suspect this is...

Lasers stopping with stars. Lasers "split in two" High clouds "Stopping" without hitting anything.
