Some of these objections are so broad the exclude the possibility of a legit optical illusion.
Most of the stuff we see in space isn’t there. The day sky isn’t blue, the night sky isn’t black, stars don’t twinkle, etc.
Our military sensors are specifically trained to exclude most phenomena.
Is it so much to believe that optical illusion are common at high altitudes?
And that militaries don’t like their pilots “seeing things?”
- tshaddox 4y agoDo what now? Those things you listed aren’t actually optical illusions, are they? Pretty sure the sky is actually blue.
- lostcolony 4y agoFunny you should mention that one... https://www.forbes.com/sites/briankoberlein/2017/01/11/earths-skies-are-violet-we-just-see-them-as-blue/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/briankoberlein/2017/01/11/earth...

- pyuser583 4y agoThere’s nothing in the sky that’s actually blue. You won’t get blue stains on an aircraft. It’s because of weird radiation thing that happens in many contexts. Including the irises of people with “blue” (transparent) eyes.
- naasking 4y agoI think you have a very weird way of thinking about colour. Saying the sky is blue is no different than saying the ocean is blue. Water doesn't look blue when you get something wet either, and yet the ocean is blue. A "weird radiation thing" is exactly how colour works.
- tshaddox 4y agoI have a blue blanket that doesn’t leave blue stains on anything either. That’s not a robust definition of what it means for something to be a certain color.
