I have a lot of biases in my vision. Optical illusions are clearly one example of exploiting those biases.
I suspect there are a lot of biases in processing return signals from radar, an expectation of motion like things actually move.
So, if i had the resources of a nation, and some idea of how radar actually works, i could build a device that actually made a steady turn from, say west to north, look like something else.
I know very little about how radar works in the nitty gritty details, but i know a little bit about how our eyes are fooled by optical illusions. dynamically changing color, and maybe some little helper parts that fly away and change color or produce smoke would really mess with my eyes.
it's weird how fireworks always fly right toward you no matter where you stand, right?
Extending that to radar and infrared seems totally reasonable. Also, my eyes have a lot of evolution both adding biases, and ensuring those biases don't mess up very often.
Automated systems don't even have 80 years of engineering effort to accurately represent what's happening.
