It is entirely possible that some of the reports were associated with Jupiter and Saturn; the relatively bright star Porrima was also in the same small segment of the sky, which could have added to the general feeling of High Strangeness. But...
Or more than one other frame?
The only evidence we have for a 2nd aircraft (or model/ cut-out image etc. of a 2nd aircraft) in any of the other photos/ negatives is the MoD minute.
It states that the negatives were "considered by the relevant...
A Harrier can either hover or fly as a conventional aircraft. However, it cannot bank while hovering, and the "jet" in the photo appears to be banking. Also, if the witness had described it as "a jet was hovering next to the UFO," I'm sure this...
But recall that a Harrier can travel extraordinarily slowly.If it is in fact a Harrier, it can even hover, or back up!

(It now occurs to me to wonder if that is why they identified it as a Harrier--if...
Yes indeed, this is important to remember. Lindsay's copy was most likely made by photographing one of the original color prints. It is slightly damaged — I'm sure it's scratched, there could be stains, and it was stored for decades before being...
why would they take a photo of the photo when they had the negatives?
we shouldn't rule out any of the possibilities. (except maybe the u.s. military test driving a top secret new hover technology shaped like a diamond over miles upon miles of...

One more thing. We often assume a great deal about the additional five photographs — not least that the "jet" is visible in several of the frames, moving across the scene. I was quite convinced this was the case, but I'm not so sure anymore.
I...

True. However, if we assume Lindsay's copy was created by ”taking a photo of a photo”, how exactly would that affect the grain pattern? The grain that Robinson confirms is consistent with Ilford XP (or similar) must be a result of the copying...
Just for reference...this is the camera. It does not get more basic. No focus settings at all. Very basic mechanical shutter. Just two light settings....sunny or cloudy. If I recall correctly, sunny was 1/40th of a second and cloudy was 1/25th...
