Unfortunately, neither of your links appear to be very conclusive, especially the second one with the mad professor (why do professors always have such wild hair?!), who seems to constantly stress that he would like to see more evidence, and is careful not to say it's all a fake. But anyway, I have no idea why he would be the correct expert to submit such an enquiry to.
The first one says there are 3 versions of varying quality, and then appears to go on to discuss what they have said themselves is the worst of the three - which didn't give them much to go by.
The FLIR mirrors question seems to me to be a bit weak since the video shows different sensors being used, including visual camera, and still the object remains pretty much the same, although with varying degrees of definition.
It would be interesting to see any original military documentation and reports that go with this, since no one seems to be arguing about the original source of the video (i.e. USN).
My conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to say one way or the other what we are looking at. The video is not the only evidence that would need to be taken into account. You have air and shipborne witnesses to the 'event', and we would need to establish the trustworthiness of those sources. I would tend to trust professional ( professional, right Islander? ) military personnel, but I would trust it a lot more if there were, and we could see, official reports of the incident from the time at which it occurred.

To be fair, I haven't stated that it's definitely an artefact of the optical system just that it's the most likely of the options especially with mirrors flipping back and forth to change views. I've seen a lot of optical artefacts even in expensive top end lens systems.
Another possibility is man made technology. It's pretty well known that the 'murcans have been trying to develop hypersonic missile technology and not doing that well at it (until recently apparently). So it is possible it's an out of control test but TBH, I wouldn't have thought they'd be likely to do that where there are vessels and aircraft on exercise without previous briefing. Even 'murcans wouldn't be that stupid... Would they?
If it were something like hypersonic missile testing then it would suit the military to have people going with the OMGALIENS idea, it's an ideal way to hide developing technology and was exploited at Groom Lake when they were developing the stealth fighter and bomber.
Whatever it was, it wasn't aliens. |

I kind of like Islander's flying cheesecake idea.

What FLIR system are you using?

I'm not of course. |
Why "of course"? I've had some experience of installing and testing military FLIR systems. You might've had for all I knew. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Can I tell you a little amusing anecdote while we're on the subject?
Oh, g'wan, you know you want to hear it!
Here it is anyway:
I worked at a unit called EWAU - Electronic Warfare and Avionics Unit. (There was a sign outside our hangar: "EWAU, 4 Hangar", and underneath that, the unit motto: "Lead and Mislead", which I liked to modify to "4 Shed, Easily Misled" ) Nothing highbrow; we manufactured and installed installations for various aircraft, FLIR, RHWR, chaff & flare, and the maritime reconnaisance equipment on Nimrods among other stuff.
We had just installed a FLIR system into a helicopter, and were testing it out in the hangar. There was a young WRAF lady who worked in admin in the offices upstairs. To leave the offices, you had to walk down the stairs then through the hangar to the entrance/exit door (security controlled for obvious reasons).
Well, it was our good luck that she came walking through the hangar just as we were testing this installation. Halfway across the hangar floor, she stopped to see where the laughing was coming from. It was us lot watching her on the FLIR display, captivated by the way her big tits stood out in bright white on the display, where they strained against her RAF pullover She was not amused! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

You could watch maybe just the first 40mins or so. After that, much of it goes to speculative and wider discussion. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
