I’m not expecting much in regards to groundbreaking information, however, based on Chris Mellon’s recent comment, I am hoping for a positive shift in regards to transparency.
This could be very interesting. If there is video… Congress should also interview the pilots that gave conflicting reports to get them on the congressional record with Graves and Fravor.
I agree. They had no problem showing drone video footage of a Russian jet. If it’s a balloon or something of that nature, one would assume that the govt would show that to erase all doubt.
I wonder if open source Intel can figure out if the images we are shown are really over the areas they say they are. Example: video shows one type of clouds while meteorological data shows either no clouds or different clouds at that time (no idea if this is realistic to expect).
The internet is great about that kind of research. I’m sure there’s atmospheric data out there to show conditions, though the remote locations may make it tricky to form a solid case one way or another. There will always be people that find proof to support whatever their views are, so it’s always good to follow the data people present before forming an opinion. Regardless of the outcome, I always enjoy seeing people’s research into these kind of things.
The one thing that gives me hope that it won’t be whitewashed is Canada’s involvement in the events. There was definitely data shared between countries and Canada would have had their own surveillance. Our explanation of the events would have to support the urgency we had in engaging these and also match the information Canada has on them.
