GPS spoofing would mess up the ground speed as the position "jumps".
Note that an aircraft cannot quickly change speed without trading altitude for it, and the altitude is steady during that ground speed squiggle. There's no braking in air.

The pilots are using air speed, the flight tracker is using ground speed there.
The aircraft also has an inertial navigation system that should work independently of GPS. This can drift over time (but not jump), and it may not be accessible to...
So everyone probably remembers the clip that went around last September - the NARA upload with the crater shot and the dark shape people were calling an alien body. Mark Lee called it pareidolia in the Daily Mail at the time, which may well be...
It shouldn't do, if there's appropriate redundancy - the plane should have an inertial navigational subsystem which can dead-reckon velocity and thence position from accelerometers (or equivalent). Any massive deviation of one source of position...

Anybody want to interpret what might be going on here? It may be unrelated, but it looks odd and on the off chance somebody wants to ask ME, of all people, what I think happened I'd like to be able to sound informed, if I can't manage sounding...
AAWSAP certainly showed that with the right connections, money could be spent on frivolous things that benefit connected people. If the story is accurate, it lasted for 2 FYs and funneled ~$22m to Bigelow before higher ups at DIA figured out what...
