**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Radar logs or the 2009 report's underlying data show consistent tracks across SPY-1, the E-2C and aircraft radar.

## What would rule it out

- Logs show the tracks appeared only on the Princeton's SPY-1 and only after its software upgrade.
