While kind of interesting, those numbers are irrelevant. They don't account for the number of transients per tile in their analysis, and there's at least one in nearly every tile. So it comes down to a correlation between the days on which...
I recall one of the authors citing a spike at +1 days, but given the weird way they're using unadjusted dates for events on the other side of the international date line +/-1 day can be well over 24 hours before or after the event
Agreed.
The US would not test an experimental aircraft in Scotland.
However, if they had tested it at Area51 and it was successful, then Scotland might be the location for the next step.
Operational Test & Evaluation (OTE), where the aircraft is...
The more years pass without any similar technology coming to light, the less probable this hypothesis becomes.
Consider also this: there is a long road from fundamental science discoveries to working technology. Along this road, even if it was...
I have no such aerospace knowledge, but I'll point out that if something's secret, the USA has miles and miles of almost empty desert area (White Sands Missile Range alone is bigger than the state of Delaware) and I cannot imagine a developer...

Have they released any more detailed breakdown?
How many at +2, +1, -1, -2 and so forth?
Also the use of 'days' could be causing all sorts of issues.
The US nuke test sites straddle Palomar, there should be no ambiguity as to when the plates...
Looking at the original post, what's the intent with this thread? Debunk Marik's video, go into circles on the glare observables (and unobservables), encourage new analyses...? Unclear to me.

That's absurd, but independently of Gimbal, fine-tracking an object to microradians, super-zoomed, may be prone to a slight disruption in the image (bump) if there is a change in attitude (acceleration, deceleration, extended IR signature with...
@Mick West , please spend your time refining your model, not arguing in circles.
It's not an "explanation". The bumps are proof that the observed fast rotations originate with the camera system and not with the external world.
Once the rotation...
Glare from an IR source would be an optical indication of the means of propulsion.
"Vertical U-turn" implies a 180 degree (or thereabouts) change in direction of flight in the vertical plane; I don't think we see this.
It's hard to see the...
