Lol "deep lore" - what are you really some sort of priest on this topic? Ok, priest, what is your read of the bigger picture - not the narrow DoW released videos, but the larger context.
Re the counterpost - i admit it's a good effort to match the graphics - but it still looks markedly different. Thermal overexposure seems less likely given paucity of other examples - what about active jamming? IR laser pointing? Hunch just now: sth about polarized light? Idk.
It was just a joke. You linked a thread about one particular camera artifact but missed the fact that there was another thread about this specific case. I've read all of those threads.
There's not really much ambiguity here regarding these factors now:
- it's a small bright infrared light source attached to a parachute
- the star shape is a camera artifact
lol, it was funny. Tho dishonest to pretend a consensus has been reached after your "high confidence" comments. More like "you hope" 'there's not much ambiguity'.
My hope was you'd be actually interested to discuss in depth - but seems like you want to end the conversation here. That's okay, no worries. Just a little disappointing and surprising (or maybe not - 100% certainty is not exactly compatible with "willing to update beliefs" ;)).
If you are another is open tho - take a look at this: https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/2052769793321975945
How that 8-pointed thing moves around and the cold trail it leaves. What could it be?
I don't see the intense source artifact angle because the pattern is distinct from examples of the class.
I'm unconvinced here but curious :)
The full quote is "don't cite the deep lore to me, I was there when it was written". The intention is to imply that he was there when the thread was created.
well the full full quote is from C.S Lewis' Narnia, where Aslan says:
Do not cite the deep magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.
