West suggests there is an object being tracked, just that it is obfuscated by the glare. From the article: > West contends that what is being seen in the video is actually infrared glare that hides a hot object behind it So, he's not debunking the existence of what the pilot saw. He's just saying that what we see in the video is not what the pilots saw. That would be a fascinating countermeasure if the craft was able to rotate to reflect the sun at a tracking pod on a potentially hostile aircraft, or perhaps the craft itself emitted the IR "glare" to prevent it from being accurately photographed.
