The section that implies that they can just assume they are flying physical objects because the observers are professionals is pretty weak.
And their selection process: "These encounters were selected from a subset of cases for which there were multiple professional witnesses observing the craft in multiple modalities (including sight, radar, infrared imaging, etc.)."
Some of the cases have multiple witnesses and video of the objects. You can look at it yourself.
Nothing really wrong with that in general but personally I’d rather see an attempt to dismiss as many other possibilities as possible.
I would love to see a thorough analysis and understanding of how the sensor pod works, as well as the software it runs to see if it could be contributing to anomalous measurements in the HUD. An exploration of any local environmental data, astrological, optical, and chemical reasons something may appear the way it does in the sensor data.
I’d much prefer a release of the entire data set of raw sensor information along with it.
It is very curious and stunning if the corroborating data exists. I don’t even consider video on a HUD as sufficient to do real science on these encounters.
