It's been a crazy day today, but long story short Metabunk was right but it took a TV programme for the Belgian Defence Minister to admit it.
A pat on the back for all those that checked the ADS-B in November...
Mick did simple experiments to show that optical elements can cause a glare to rotate, example:
Youtube user GoddardsJournal located some flir footage with rotating glares and shows them in this video:
Which reminds me...
