Not if I am reading the OP correctly, and the shot of the cabin monitor, showing a position over the Ionian Sea was at 11.15am, and the "UFO" was half an hour later, at 11.45am.
If this was 11.15am:
then half an hour later the plane would be...
I don't think the shape can be purely down to focus blurring of a point source, because in the same shot a cloud (presumably also at quite a long distance from the camera) is in quite sharp focus.
I can't see how a distant point source could be...
Because the Earth rotates, an object in geosynchronous orbit would show up as a streak if it lasted longer than about a second. If these 'transients' lasted longer than that they would need to be stationary in space with respect to the fixed...
-Ah, not just implied, on reading the paper,
We speculate that some transients could potentially be UAP in Earth orbit that, if descending into the atmosphere, might provide the stimulus for some UAP sightings.

I guess there might be a broad correlation between weather at the Mount Palomar Observatory and the former Nevada Test Site which is
very roughly 410 km/ 255 miles to the NNE; tests there from 1951. (There were no tests in 1950 as far as I can...
Since most 1950s-era tests were done to be observed and assessed with a variety of remote instruments and aircraft, they had to be done when the skies were clear enough for every platform to see the detonation; the goal was to accurately measure...
While nuclear weapons certainly capture the human imagination and figure prominently in human geopolitics, it is hard to conceive of them as being of much interest to an interstellar civilization. Other than as evidence that we have discovered...
