It is the Low Information Zone, its a part of the range of images that a sensor can capture, just well enough to determine that something is there, but not well enough to determine what it is. This is why unidentified objects are often captured...
We have long realized that no "disclosure" will satisfy the UFOlogy crowd unless it reinforces what they already think.
No disclosure? Angry response: "They're hiding stuff from us!!!1!
Disclosure? Angry response: "They're hiding the GOOD stuff...
Another thing to consider is rotor or fixed-wing drones which have deployable parachutes.

Helpful visuals.
Maybe I'm a little overly sensitive, though, being a Californian who's watched far too many thousands of acres burn,
hearing him ask, as an afterthought (as embers fall to the ground): "Do we have a fire extinguisher?"
I'm not ready to take a position on whether or not it is a parachute, but I don't think this point is compelling. In turbulence or in other conditions where the parachute and flare-or-whatever are moving about relative to one another(the chute...
It is rare to find a daytime shot of a parachute flare used for air force target practice. While it cannot be confirmed that the PR38 is definitely one, its erratic trajectory, the fleeting glimpse of a "parachute," and the long smoke trail...
It's not the target. As far as the camera knows, it's just another dot in the background.
How would it get less energy?
Here it's in the middle of the pole, so obviously in front, and clearly dimmer.
I think what we are seeing might be...
Absolutely. This seems to get lost often in all this UFO talk. How many surveillance drones, aircraft, areostats and other devices are on station right now all over the world. On any given day, I would imagine terabytes of information are being...
The issue might be more to do with data transmission. Cameras like the MX-15 (as used in Aguadilla) and this MX-25 (a bigger version with better optics) are generally used by manned surveillance platforms and will have a HD video feed displayed...
The key point is this: none of those questions require alien craft or exotic technology to explain them. They are exactly the kinds of ambiguities you expect from low detail infrared footage of distant unresolved targets.
People keep jumping...
Excellent work geolocating and ruling out the sun. I was thinking there are a lot of ships in the Persian golf. Could this be a direct reflection of the sun from some mirror like object on a ship? Just spit balling theories here, as a daylight...
