Bunk in that it's not what you want it to be. Radar is subject to interference from weather, natural aerial phenomena, birds, air turbulence, and even plain old glitches; temperature inversions, for example, can deflect the energy from air-surveillance radar downward so that it picks up cars and ships, etc., and these readings can appear to do wacky things as the weather conditions change, like shift from one location to another or reappear and disappear. There was one odd radar reading in DC a couple years ago that turned out to be clouds: D. C. Alert Triggered by Clouds
An illustrative example was documented in the Blue Book files at Frenchman's Flat, NV: "Blips in formation were picked up on the radar scope. They were reported to be traveling at terrific speed at 30,000 feet. It happened that the reporting station had a searchlight and it was turned on in the direction of the radar sighting. It was immediately discovered that the objects were Canadian geese flying at 300 feet altitude."
imho, that was a nice avoidance of my points and question.
Did you watch or listen to the entire video? Yes/No???
Did you consider any or what percentage of those expert witnesses to be so incompetent as to have construed things as your post outlined that were essentially nothing significant?
I have talked to such specialists . . . air traffic controllers etc. They are quite familiar with such false positives and can readily weed them out. And, the cases reported had many data points which precluded such interpretations from such nothing stimuli.
Glib convenient rationalizations still do not begin to explain the witnesses nor their many solid data points and evidence.
Again, that's nonsense. These aren't solid data points and they aren't solid evidence. They don't amount to anything in science. Yes, I saw the video. It's the same old s**t. Whatever your air traffic controllers assure you, the UFO case files are rife with instances of them getting fooled by radar misreadings, and the Frenchman's Flat episode would probably be a "Holy Wow!!!! Explain that, bucko!!!!" UFO Classic in every hack's book had somebody not thought to switch a searchlight on. It may not be something you want to believe, but that's all.
I guess all that's left is to encourage you to enjoy your construction on reality. It's half life is decreasing increasingly rapidly week by week, imho.
But I suspect that greater comfort would be had in your regions by maintaining a death grip on that perspective.
It's very fascinating to try and understand such a perspective's construction on, interpretation of; psycholigcal blackwashing of that list of witnesses.
Fascinating. Mind Boggling.
The TRUE nonsensical may turn out to be the people who turn a blind eye to and disregard all that is going on around them simply because it makes no sense to THEM or is out of the normal worldly info they've been taught in their short, sometimes pathetic lives.
Stay tuned, pal, and buckle up for a rough ride. :>)
