In an article on The Hill, a former Jan 6 Panel member asserts and alleges:
... a former military pilot, said Sunday that all of the mysterious drone sightings he has seen video of have been airplanes. “Honestly, every video I’ve seen — and I’ve spent the last couple of days looking at every one of these videos — every video I have seen on Twitter, on the internet, are all airplanes. They’re literally all airplanes,” ... “Some of them will show an airplane that’s kind of stable out there and says that’s a drone, and actually, it’s an airplane flying towards you at 30,000 feet. And I can see the lighting on it.”“If any of these pictures that they have shown are actual drones, these drones then are complying with FAA lighting requirements: a green on the right, a red on the left with a strobe,”
OK I am not a pilot, I have however designed and deployed various identification and tracking systems over the years. I also did well in Trigonometry. So my NJ sighting was at 1.5 km and at an angle they yielded about 400 ft elevation. Low angle. Namely tangent of angle equals elevation divided by distance. Thus this was no flight into Newark nor one into Morristown airport. You see I am on the flight paths of both! In addition one can track all arriving and departing EWR flight real time on line. I even track by radio from FAA flight control.
So the above statement is in my opinion baseless. Do I believe this person or my lying eyes, and trig table!
