The shape is glare from a hot source, probably a distant jet's engines, that rotates when the pod rolls through its gimbal singularity.
Where it stands
DisputedOne piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Rotations follow pod bumps and match the roll needed at the gimbal angles shown on screen.
- The shape does not rotate when the aircraft banks.
- The flight path at 30 or more nautical miles is a straight, slow track consistent with an aircraft.
What would rule it out
- The original file shows the shape's edges and internal structure resolved beyond a glare pattern, or radar data confirms a near object stopping and reversing.
