Both pilots called in the tic tac, their IR sensors picked it up, they were able to get a lock on with their onboard radar, and the ship picked it up on the their radar. They definitely ran into something
- egfx 5y agoYeah any time someone brings up the FLir argument I have to remind myself that even something that can exhibit IR can also be something that is not really there as a physical mass. What interested me is that David Fravor was specifically asked by Lex Fridman in his podcast if he thought these “objects” were projections and his answer was that he wasn’t a physicist and didn’t really know for sure but didn’t think so. As such the idea of a projection cannot yet be ruled out. I actually can’t believe that projections aren’t more closely scrutinized to explain this whole “phenomenon”.

- kubeflowbro 5y agoThat wouldn't explain why they could track it on radar
- egfx 5y agoThey could track most anything on radar including projections. [1]https://www.google.com/books/edition/Advances_in_Radar_Techniques/vS0fAQAAIAAJ?hl=en https://www.google.com/books/edition/Advances_in_Radar_Techn...
