The video looks fake..?
It's an Infrared camera video, taken from the Super Hornet's IRST system which can slave / gimbal independently of the aircraft's manoeuvring, hence why it's centred.

Re: The Pentagon’s U.F.O. Program
#33I looks like the plane is making a left turn, and yet the object is dead center in the screen with barely any shake. And it's definitely not stabilized, because all the lines on the display are still. So maybe the pilot has some crazy ability to track a flying object perfectly while turning, but try doing it in any game and I think you will fail.
You sound sure that’s a fixed camera. Is it possible it’s on a turret and tracking a distant target?

It's a video from the Infrared Search and Track system, which is independently aimed, hence why it's always centred.

#35Spend more looking for UFOs or, you know, we could invest in, say, cyber security for our elections and infrastructure programs...
Yes - let's criticize the 0.0036% portion of the budget that seems somewhat wasteful ;)

Something similar:

The stability seems to be about the same as in the NYT video.

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
How so?
I don't know, the clouds don't look real to me. I also wonder why resolution mist always be this low, my cell phone ($250) can shoot 4K and a plane that costs millions can't shoot video that is detailed enough to investigate the phenomenon.
It’s from a moving fighter jet at night at a significant distance.
Not saying it’s ET, but that seems like a bit unreasonable beef.

#38>”...largely funded at the request of Harry Reid...” >”Most of the money went to an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s” I don’t know who these people are beyond the fact that one of them was apparently a US senator, but this comes across as capable of being perceived as a conflict of interest (whether true or not). And not necessarily a monetary conflict if…
It's the same Bigelow creating inflatable space habitats: https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/17/16488646/bigelow-aerospa...
Yeah, seems like the potential for expertise is there.

#39How much do the various militaries and defense contractors communicate with one another? Is it possible that we end up spying on our own technology across departments/contractors?

#40Where is the HD footage that actually shows features of the mysterious "unidentified objects"?
Why is all the evidence grainy and obscured?
The prospect that life from another star system traveled hundreds of trillions of kilometers, only to hide for the past few decades, peeking out briefly for low-quality photoshoots, is beyond absurd.
