Thanks, I'd totally missed that down in the video description.
On the biggest screen I have, I don't see any of the orbs but I did notice one thing -- they/it tends to be in the same place every time, according to the red arrow. That suggests a...
I was picturing a ride cymbal, not a hi-hat. It looks a bit more like a hi-hat, but I think it's just one of those illusions where a flare or other image imperfection gives the impression of a real object.
I think that you are massively overcomplicating this.
"Pretty good" provenance doesn't mean much. How does "always been known about for quite a while" work exactly? If there is any gap in the chain of provenance from the time that the image was...
Well it's a bit more complicated than "that's a high-hat". The photo has a pretty good provenance. It's not like a Billy Meier photo that somebody went out and hoaxed, then show up with it. This photo originated in an aerial survey program run...
It strikes me that the problem with this approach of looking for more sky survey-like material shot in the same way with similar technology at the same time is that the analysis is also likely to repeat any flaws in the original papers.
That is...
The hypothesis that aircraft might have been responsible for the flying "V" is not dependent on Tim Printy's proposed solution (that the Snowbirds aerobatics team was responsible), it just requires the presence of aircraft that might have flown...

I'm not seeing much newly-visible in the new scan -- other than, being a bit less contrast-y, it looks more like a bubble or drop of water or such.
Just quoting the above in hopes that the documentarians were aware of it, and looked at it as...
After @YukonJohnCan's post, drawing attention to the chapter markings, I took another look at the video, this time skipping through it to view any chapter named "ORB". As I thought, what is being reported as orbs, are the small dots and...
