It's a raytheon ATFLIR[0]. The rotation precisely matches the point at which the 'up-down' tracking reaches it's upper stop and the body of the pod has to rotate. The concensus was that it's some internal reflection within the pod window.

- pavelrub 8y agoWhat "consensus"? I've read the Wikipedia article on the incident and found no information of any consensus of this sort. The objects in question were visually tracked by multiple aircraft, and were detected by multiple radar systems.
- NikkiA 8y agoA lot of discussion from here: https://www.metabunk.org/nyt-gimbal-video-of-u-s-navy-jet-encounter-with-unknown-object.t9333 https://www.metabunk.org/nyt-gimbal-video-of-u-s-navy-jet-en... But there was also discussion on skeptics.com and skepticforum.com when it was news last year. Also note that the organisation that released the videos is a known scammer who has been caught trying to monetize the UFO community many times.
