Perhaps it is wrong
What are the odds all the data is wrong?
When our very best people and equipment safe and measure the same things from multiple vantage point using multiple pieces of gear
including eyes whats the probability its all wrong?
Should we believe or not believe Fravor?
Why did our government reverse itself on this phenomenon and now label it as a threat?
I think it’s quite clear that I don’t believe him. The claims are fantastic. I am skeptical.
Why should I believe him? Seriously, why should I?
I‘ve seen false tracks, glitches, and jamming. I’ve got experience with radars, with military equipment, with Navy equipment.
Every time this subject (UFOs) comes up, I have to explain the flaws in equipment, flaws in processing, flaws in human perception that lead to illusions and false data.
I’m tired of explaining.
This discussion is like arguing with Flat Earthers and Moon Conspiracy Theorists - no amount of logic, experience, or rational discussion will sway their belief in false conclusions.
So, let’s be clear - you’ve found others who share your beliefs and you rest your conclusions on that shared belief. Belief that the data is real. Belief that the fantastic explanation is more plausible than the ordinary. Belief that somehow, a military radar and a military operator, didn’t make a mistake.
As a guy with a degree in Astrophysics, and 30 years of military experience, I do not share the beliefs on which you’ve based your argument. Radars are flawed. People are flawed. Illusions happen as a result of both. I have experienced illusions in flight. They usually resolve, as more data becomes available, within minutes.
Willing suspension of disbelief makes for an enjoyable science fiction read, or time watching a Marvel Movie.
But that same willing suspension does not allow for rational examination of this phenomena. The fact that government agencies are taking it seriously has two explanations, first, is that the ability to deceive our equipment represents a real, present threat to defense, and second, that science education is woefully inadequate across our education system.
So, yes, investigate, but no, don’t believe in fantastic explanation.
