Sitrec2

Sitrec (Situation recreation) is a web application that allows for the real-time interactive 3D recreation of various situations. It was created initially to analyze the US Navy UAP/UFO video (Gimbal, GoFast, and FLIR1/Nimitz), but has expanded to include several other situations (referred to as "sitches"). It's written mostly by Mick West, with a lot of input from the members of Metabunk.

Here's a link to Sitrec on Metabunk.

My goal here is to create a tool to effectively analyze UAP/UFO cases, and to share that analysis in a way that people can understand it. Hence, I focused on making Sitrec run in real-time (30 fps or faster), and be interactive both in viewing, and in exploring the various parameters of a sitch.

User Documentation

• The Sitrec User Interface - How the menus work
• The Custom Sitch Tool - Drag and Drop Sitches
• Custom Models and 3D Object - add your own planes
• Recreating Starlink Situations - Horizon Flares
• What's New

Technical Documentation (for coders and webmasters)

• Installing and Configuring a Sitrec Server
• File Rehosting and Related Server Configuration
• Custom Terrain and Elevation Sources, WMS, etc.

Legacy documentation

• Adding a Sitch in Code (older method)
• Local custom Sitch with JSON files - More complex cusom sitches

The most common use case is to display three views:

• A video of a UAP situation
• A 3D recreation of that video
• A view of the 3D world from another perspective (with movable camera)
• Plus various graphs and stats.

Here's the famous Aguadilla video

Sitrec uses or ingests a variety of data sources

• ADS-B files in KML format from ADSB Exchange, FlightAware, Planefinder, and others
• TLE files in Two or Three Line Element format (for satellites, mostly Starlink)
• Star catalogs (BSC, etc.)
• Video (mp4, mov, H.264, H.265 )
• DJI Drone tracks from Airdata as .csv
• GLB (Binary GLTF 3D models)
• Generic custom data in .csv
• PBA (Pico Balloon Archive) .txt files
• MISB style 3d Track data in KLV or CSV format
• Image files (jpg, png, etc) as single frame videos or ground overlays
• Image Overlays in KMZ format

Some types of situations covered:

• UAP Videos
  • Taken from a plane where a target object's azimuth and elevation are known ("angles only")
  • Taken from a plane of another plane
  • Taken from a plane looking in a particular direction
  • From a fixed position
• Viewing the sky (with accurate planets and satellites)
