This so-called 'expert' in this piece ALSO KNOWINGLY overlooks a very stout source of IR in the immediate vicinity of the series of so-called 'flashes' in the rear - the engine area of the tracked vehicle performing the hole punching and gas insertion ops ... OF COURSE she doesn't mention that (it would KILL the 'case' she is atempting to argue).
That's the way it is with ALL these wild 'conspiracy' theories - NONE of them hold water ...
A big, hot mass of cast iron is going to cause intermittent, pinpoint flashes of IR. Yeah, sure.
