I have spent a lot of time analyzing 1st gen FLIR video footage on a project in the early 1990s. It ain't at all what Vector says it was.
BTW, Vector is a beltway bandit company that does analysis and writes reports for a living. I have dealt with them before. What impact do you think the contract funder has on the outcome of the report?
Burning witches indeed! I look at pig entrails ;-).
