I'm wondering why a multi-million dollar aircraft doesn't have a $10k imaging system when I put a $300 imaging system on my $30k car. If I'm willing to spend 1% to understand equipment damage then why would this logic not follow for a billion dollar fleet of aircraft?
Like-minded drivers have caught amazing videos of meteors. Planes could do the same for supposedly legitimate UAP sightings.
- namaria 4y agoWell would you increase the budget of your production grade deliverables for maybe proving to internet forum visitors that your product sometimes is in the presence of weird phenomena?
- shortcake27 4y agoAre you suggesting NARCAP is an internet forum?
- namaria 4y agoThey don't seem to think the camera resolution is a problem in taking these sightings seriously, as opposed to random person here I'm responding to. Seems to indicate something doesn't it?
- rowanG077 4y agoOh I dunno. Maybe because that's what people do? We put billions into explaining stuff we don't understand.

- namaria 4y agoBuilding a particle accelerator is not the same as adding 1% to the cost of an already costly machine for the off chance of proving some marginal phenomena visually.
- rowanG077 4y agoConsidering this goes up to congress and they think it might be a national security threat I don't think it's bad idea. It's also pretty doubtful this will even increase the cost by 1%.
- namaria 4y agoSure. Random internet forum person demands better evidence to be convinced, when a) we don't even have all data; b) no-one cares what random internet forum person thinks. We are watching from the sidelines jeering for irrelevant changes.
- willis936 4y agoI'm not sure about all of that, but I know a lot of people are paid to count a lot of beans. There are lots of beans saved from diagnostics, especially where insurance is involved.
- namaria 4y agoHave you heard of black boxes? I don't think dashboard cams are a limiting factor for airplanes here...
- willis936 4y agoIndeed I have. It's pretty wild that modern FDRs don't include video. There isn't a good justification other than "it's too much effort to make any change", which is a sign of a dangerous system.
- namaria 4y agoOk go out there and convince people in charge of that. Must be easier than convincing me, who has no stakes in it either way...
- nprateem 4y agoProbably for the same reason nobody thought it was possible to make a plane disappear before MH70 or whatever it was.
- komali2 4y agoWhat purpose would adding an imaging system serve? The purpose is obvious for your car, cars crash all the time. Planes rarely do and it seems we already get all the data we need when they do crash to fix and prevent that reason from happening again.
