1. (US) military pilots are trained to recognize the shortcomings of their sensory perceptions in this exact regard.
2. This doesn't explain the many, separate close-up encounters, such at the Nimitz and east coast/Atlantic Ocean encounters.
PS: FWIW, I don't think these things are extra-terrestrial.
- zardo 5y ago1. They are trained to estimate the sizes of featureless flying tic-tacs?
- runjake 5y agoThey are trained in identifying aircraft and grok flight characteristics, and for the lack of better phrasing because I'm eating a taco at lunch, how one's senses can be wrong or skewed.
- cma 5y agoBut some of those pilots made critical mistakes describing the tic tac, things like FOV changes on the camera were interpreted by them publicly as velocity changes of the object.
- pmarreck 5y agoThe information from multiple different radar signals tracking the same objects would seem to rule such things out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBtMbBPzqHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBtMbBPzqHY
- cma 5y agoI'm only talking about the pilots' description of that part of the video, where the zoom level changes and Fraver says something like look at it accelerate here.
- EdwardDiego 5y agoOn 1, Yep, just like commercial pilots re trained to recognise somatogravic illusion, but there's still perfectly good planes falling out of the sky due to it - training is one thing, successful application is another.
