I have watched the so-called “videos” of UFOs that Tucker and other shows play on TV. These are not videos of UFOs. They are images on radar screens. In some the background looks like clouds, water, or ground. These are not clouds or water or ground, they are background from the radar image.

I’ve been up several times at moderate altitudes in a private airplane on a clear bright day. Looking down at the ground, there appears to be a bright spot on the ground moving quite rapidly right on the place where our shadow would be. Since the sun is 97 million miles away, the solar rays are pretty much parallel. That makes our shadow on the ground no bigger than our airplane, so it can’t even be seen. but the bright sun reflects on shiny grass leaves, tree leaves, water droplets, and other random ground objects around the shadow, and we see the bright spot moving along with our shadow. It looks quite fast, since it’s moving along with the speed of our airplane.

A radar pointed at the ground could also “see” these reflections. When the airplane rolls, the spot makes an abrupt change in direction perpendicular to our travel. The radar image would also show this “impossible” abrupt change.

A reflected radar signal from an airplane is a myriad of possible trash. Anything still, or moving, reflects something. Other airplanes, cars trucks, boats, earth, towers, buildings all reflect something in the signal. Complex processing algorithms create the images seen on the screen. The shape on the screen is not an image of these objects, it is created by the software. It’s quite amazing that they find useful data from this jumble.

But THEY ARE NOT PERFECT. The image seen on the radar screen is not a video. It’s created with software. I believe we are not seeing UFOs, we are seeing radar images that simply ‘look’ like UFOs. They may be unidentified, but it’s highly unlikely that they are flying objects.

The videos released by the Pentagon were not radar images, they were taken from infrared cameras onboard aircraft and at least one ship. And you’re forgetting that the pilots on the Nimitz and Roosevelt, as well as other crew members on various support ships, saw these objects visually, with their own eyes.

As for the radar being fooled by reflections, even commercial air traffic control radar data is processed to remove artifacts caused by reflections, ground vehicles, etc. before it is displayed. I have no doubt that the SPY-1 AEGIS radar system onboard some of these ships that did track these objects is vastly more sophisticated than simple commercial radar.

I don’t believe that radar would lock onto a shadow. There are also eye witness accounts of physical sightings of unidentifiable aircraft.

The Navy pilot footage was take in the infra red spectrum with a ATFLIR pod, not radar. Further, they saw them as they passed between the jets, not a reflection.

It is strange that those highly trained and skilled pilots are confounded by what is so easily discerned by you as you ponder sitting in your recliner.

But what about all those UFOs that have been seen by observers using only their eyes?

UFO "Easter Eggs" by a malign foreign or domestic enemy? Software glitches? Or, could be that we are seeing some form of Counter Electronic War fare testing our military? Internal CIA or DARPA programs designed to discourage Judeo Christian America? Disinformation from External groups?

Possible explanations the Radar displays. We have GPS satillites that we use for positioning. Someone is apparently screwing with these to cause naval vessels to collide (apparently. Do we still have Russian Trawlers or Chinese fishing boats following our fleets? Where do we get the chips from? Taiwan? Any backdoors for the CCP? Might have something to do with them.

Russian computer, US computer, all made in Taiwan!

Visual sightings might be the result of Skunk Works dark projects, or, Foreign nation actors. I would go with Terrestrial origin explanations before ET. Then again, they might already be here....

Stick with your day job and quit trying to prove you know less than nothing about radar.
