Whatever the accuracy of the report, I think what can be said without dispute is that the Raw Video released by KCBS is not raw. With the edits it can be reasonably deduced that some video has been edited out, there is more.
Exactly how long the cameraman shot the phenomenon and what was shot is still unknown and will remain so absent more from KCBS.
True.
Something else ‘odd’ that occurs to me is that the helo is flying right over the coastline. The statement has been made by CBS/the pilot/the cameraman that this ‘thing’ was 35 miles away.
Uh.... how did they determine that?
It’s not like it appeared on their radar and gave them the separation distance.
