The apparent acceleration is an artefact of the field-of-view change and loss of track; the object is a distant conventional aircraft.
Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: one piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- The object's measured angular rate before and after the zoom, normalised, is continuous.
- The original file's metadata gives a range consistent with a distant jet.
What would rule it out
- The original recording with metadata shows a range and angular rate incompatible with any aircraft.
