I was messing around with levels and various filters on the image and I thought I could vaguely make out a line going from the tail of the craft at an angle down to the right, but when I checked the setup shown in the PDF the line should have...
Almost, maybe? I would think this is the fax that Lindsay sent, or a copy of it. I would hope any Vu-Foils that were studied, were produced from the actual negatives/photos in the MoD's possession. As you noted, maybe this was all that was left...
I'd bet good money the o.p. video is indeed lanterns. Everything fits:
- They're the right colour (orange)
- They're moving at the right sort of speed
- They don't hold formation
- They're at a relatively low altitude
- We can see a separate one...
Yes, but these are no line drawings.
A fax machine might have had two or three modes, like text, line drawing, photo, and it might process the scan differently. A line drawing would enhance contrast (losing the clouds entirely), while photo...
Here's one from years ago, filmed by "Chew Bird" who may be here, but who was definitely on an old Facebook skeptic's discussion group I used to frequent called VORTEX (Voices of reason to explain X). I particularly like the part near the end...

Yeah, it's difficult to say exactly what we're looking at. But we know for a fact that they were attached to the "RESPONSE TO ITP M AND S TASKING REQUESTS." And given that they were tasked with creating line drawings, and the fact that the sloppy...
They look like low-quality photocopies.
The speckling/ 'grey' to the right of each image vaguely reminds me of the sort of results you used to get if maybe you were rushing to copy lots of documents, holding onto the edge of the copier lid with...

A collection of Sky Lantern videos
This is a good one. Multiple lanterns launched from the neighborhood to the left and below. Bad language because the camera guy is apparently cursing a camera malfunction.
Another good one. Multiple sky...
I've told 3 medical professionals: My GP & two therapists. All of them just listened and showed a genuine interest but didn't offer any advice or hot takes, which I think is absolutely the most sensible way to greet such info in such a setting...
