an interesting youtube comment:
"2:42 Check out the readout on the bottom right . One of the numbers is the target height above terrain - and after it's hit that goes down from 86 to 59 over about 6 seconds before the video cuts off. So after being hit the object isn't continuing on course, it's falling at an increasingly fast rate.
The video was sent to Rep. Eric Burlison with no chain of custody and no context, and it's a video taken of a screen which crops out 80% of the analytical data along the edges of the screen, but that's the MOST IMPORTANT PART which would tell us the distance, speed, size, range, angle and other critical information for interpreting the video. This could be drone to drone intercept footage from a training mission, we just don't know at this point."
Also note that the article's title contains an error - this is not "radar footage, it's IR camera footage. Before assuming this is even an "orb" at all, check out this video on how these cameras work: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEjV8DdSbs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEjV8DdSbs
I'm no expert but my most likely bet is someone cropped IR footage of a drone intercept and sent it without context or SME interpretation to a congressman.
- squigz 1y agoAnother UFO video with questionable provenance is debunked by application of a tiny amount of logic? I am truly shocked. Seriously though why is this on HN?

- DeathMetalHippy 1y agoTrump was Epsteins Boss, dont lose focus.
- lucasRW 1y agoIf you have debunked the tic-tac footage or the Agaduilla one I am all ears.

- lucasRW 1y agoInteresting video and anlysis to learn how a gimbal camera tracks and records objects, but that doesn't really address any of the points as to what those objects (since there were several, observed first by radar operators before fighter jets were dispatched) may have been.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoFrom the video and analysis, we can see the footage is consistent with a man-made aircraft such as an airplane or drone. So these seem likeliest. Unfortunately we don't have any public radar data to evaluate - only hearsay which is very often unreliable.
- lucasRW 1y agoNo, YOU can see that, but many cannot, including the radar operators in the first place, who scrambled fighter jets after they had already observed those objected doing crazy manoeuvres, like dropping 10,000 feet in 2 seconds and vice-versa.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoDo you have a reliable source for this claim? I don't believe claims from pilots without corresponding evidence because I know a bunch of civilian and military pilots and many fall victim to the same logical fallacies, hearsay and poor memory that regular people do. Show me the data.
- TiredOfLife 1y agoHN is very conspiracy theory and misinformation infused. I have seen more flatearthers, antiwaxers and other kinds of crazy on HN than Facebook, Twitter and TikTok combined. It's probably people here are smart in one field and automatically think they are smart in others. Or it's just the heavy drug use.
- LexiMax 1y ago> It's probably people here are smart in one field and automatically think they are smart in others. Or it's just the heavy drug use. Or it could be as simple as motivated reasoning. Someone I go to for hair grooming is a conspiracy nut. For _some reason_ they have been making odd comments about how they haven't seen as many chemtrails in the air since late January. Gee, I wonder why.
- HeavyStorm 1y agoIf that was a missile, there's a non zero chance it failed to blow which would explain the footage as well.
- trenchpilgrim 1y agoOr it's equipped with a warhead that is designed to kill drones with shrapnel rather than a fireball.
