Well, even more bizarre is that Coulthart describes the egg as being lowered 'delicately'.
Where exactly does he say that? At least in the transcript of the long interview I can't find the keyword.
In the new, long video, as far as the procedure for these deployments is concerned, he says a few things that are worth noting here. In particular, he addresses some points that we have already discussed here in the analysis (there was the egg and a flying octagon; the transcript AI reproduces this confusingly below)
(44:45) chopper yeah I'm in my I'm in my Chopper what sort of Chopper uh at the time it was a bell 22 which is the same as a uh uh uh N1 it's a twin engine twin bladed uh Bell Helicopter you're flying at night flying at night yeah what time at night oh God I don't remember like after midnight have you been given any pre-flight briefing um I would I'm the one who would be given the briefing but we are given a a load out on the particular uh object that when you're flying an external load um we designate two different sites one's called the drop
(45:25) site one's called the pick site you could say the pi site is where the payload is that you're flying in pickup um as you're making your first trip into the Pix site the payloads are already rigged and manifested for you and to prepare them for flight um when you're in route to that object uh you're given some basic information like weight estimates size estimates there's two objects that I'm here to talk about one was the egg the other is what we called an 8 gon the 8 gon was a uh essentially a flying disc with what looked like
(45:58) eight uh delineated sections when looking down and I can tell you what it looked like from looking down because that's primarily how I saw it because I'm a helicopter pilot um we did recoveries with the eight guns there was more than one that was that made its way to the ground on this particular operation and the recovery uh was done at night and then more was done in the day because of where we operate um sometimes things can make their way into the Steep terrain the terrain where we operate is the highest mountain range
(46:32) in the whole United continental United States and so uh the decision was made to wait till daylight to recover some of the uh object or some of the material that um was brought down or made its way to the ground that night during the recovery of the object at nighttime uh I make my way in the helicopter from where we configure the line and we fly to where what we call the Pix site there's two locations we designate them pix site drop site drop site at the delivery location we have a crew both at the pick site and the uh
(47:09) the drop site on the ground the the pick team configures the cargo for flight so whatever it is the craft is sitting in a sling waiting for your helicopter yeah it's sitting we have this these things called pumpkins which are like rubberized bags or containers and from my point of view that it was covered in a pumpkin at least from the bottom and the sides um this is one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in my life I'm about to share with you so bear with me um this is for me when it became clear
(47:44) as I get closer to this pixite I start feeling odd I start feeling extremely emotional um and the closer I get the more the emotion starts to overwhelm me...
As to the pick up and drop sites at the mountain range he says:
I'm crying at the same time and then I'm do I abort the mission do I and I so I just did my best to focus on my particular cues when doing this type of work and I got the load hooked up and I began flying away and once it was just me and that object in between the pick
(50:18) and the drop site there was about 20 mil in between
I watched the video in sections and have to say: it all gets a bit too much. For every minute that Coulthart gives us, you can spend an hour analyzing it. We can already see that here with the analysis of light and shadow in the video.
I have one more contribution to make on this point. If we assume that the helicopter operation took place away from fixed infrastructure, the most probable light source is a mobile floodlight system. Something like this (German manufacturer but English website and self-explanatory)

From 1:30 in the video you can see the characteristics of the lighting:

I don't know if anyone here has the patience and time to go into all the details. Anyway, Barber says that he and his team are in the process of generating "evidence". Shall we just lean back and wait for that? What we've seen so far is strikingly reminiscent of the dilettantism of the Skinwalker crew

But we don't want to prejudge anyone and are curious to see what these guys come up with. What can we expect? It will probably be a TV documentary. One of those that is always investigating at night, because the nightview cameras make the mundane scene ghostly. And maybe, if we are lucky Sasquatch will walk through the picture, too. Sorry, I can't stop the polemic
