This paper, as well as the pilot that took that video disagrees. Interview with Chad Underwood, the pilot that took the FLIR Video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPXFcFyZma0&t=262s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPXFcFyZma0&t=262s</a><p>Mick West never answered to this critique, nor did he publish any detailed analysis beyond "it only looks like it's moving". While he is correct more often then not, his knee-jerk approach to debunking without actually looking at the facts is tiring.
