A renowned UFO investigator claims to have debunked the US Navy footage of pyramid-shaped objects flying off the coast of California — saying it “in every way, matches a plane.”
Mick West, who is the author of “Escaping the Rabbit Hole,” said that there are plausible explanations for the three, flashing UFOs seen hovering over the USS Russell in July 2019.
“What we’ve got to go here with here is the simplest explanation and really the simplest explanation is that it’s just a plane. It moves like a plane, it acts like a plane,” West told The Post.
He said that the flashing lights seen coming from the object are similar to FAA-compliant lights on all normal airplanes.
“If you look at the video, you see it’s kind of flashing and it’s not flashing at a regular rate,” West said.
“It’s kind of like irregular, but it really reminds me of the flashing lights of a plane, and I looked into that and I found there are actually some planes that have a sequence of lights that like that there’s a long sequence overlaid a short sequence.”
The supposed UFOs were also moving at the same speed as planes in the area, West said.
“If you assume it’s a plane at 33,000 feet, you can calculate his angular velocity, from the information that that’s available with the positions of stars,” West said.
“You can see it’s a bit less than one degree per second, which translates to about 400 to 450 knots, which is the exact same speed that the planes in that region were flying. At that time, that’s the speed that they fly over that area going towards Los Angeles. So, in every way, it matches a plane.”

Long retired but I was a pilot for a commercial carrier.
A couple of times when we encountered objects that appeared unnatural in shape and movement (usually over water), they could be plainly seen by us but wouldn’t show up on any flight operations/ATC scopes!
ANYBODY with a BRAIN and functioning eyeballs can see the flashing of the AIRCRAFT MARKER LIGHTS on that craft ... geesh ...
You mean UFOs don’t comply with FAA regulations?
Joe, did you hear that in your earpiece?
It was a weather ballon! The Admiral swears on it.
You are so right.
Assigning human intent to an alien race is just arrogance.
Is it even possible? Yes, it is.
