Geez that's easy...just contact the major news media...how the hell should we know where they came up with the coordinates? 1) Chopper crew reports sighting of strange event 2) Reports event to media 3) Media constructs graphic to represent location of reported sighting 4) But no one could tell the difference between "over" Catalina and "northwest" of Catalina so it was mis-reported or they just lied about it At no point was 902 north of the island...in fact actual tract information shows it passing over the south end of the island turning to the south...
Brilliant. You post two graphics that you say show a discrepancy between the location of what Leyvas filmed, and the flightpath of UPS902. But you have absolutely no idea how the location of the yellow marker was chosen in the first graphic. Here is THE reference from Leyvas that includes 35 miles..."The onboard camera showed a plume twisting up from the horizon and narrowing as it climbed into the sky near Catalina Island, about 35 miles west of Los Angeles, he said."
So some media outlet selects a point at random, 35 miles north of Catalina island, and you think that proves what Leyvas filmed couldn't be UPS902. UPS902 was not only "near" Catalina Island. It flew right over it. So what more closely describes the only description of the event we have from the only reported eyewitness of the event. A point 35 miles to the north of Catalina Island, or an aircraft that tracks right over Catalina Island?
