Mick is NOT on this podcast. Look closely. If you analyze the frames, you can make out that he is in fact a store bought balloon floating in the wind.

One man comes with all the proof the other one just says I don’t believe it… It’s like having an argument with someone that believes the earth is flat.

Mick West: You say it looks like a UFO but that means nothing, it’s just your interpretation. Also Mick West: it looks like a balloon to me, case closed!

Mick, on your own YouTube channel on 26th Aug 2023 you asked Alex Dietrich for her reason why there was a time discrepancy between her observations and David Fravors. She gave you the analogy of two cars going down the road in different lanes and witnessing an accident. She said it was down to differing physical perspectives along with a sense of when they individually acquired what they were visually looking at. Additionally she said she was the wingman, which meant she had different responsibilities. She goes on to say that Fravor had the luxury of not having to track her. Her job was to track Fravor and not lose sight of him. She also explained that she was new (in Squadron a few months) and as a consequence her skills and confidence with the onboard systems were not as good as the others. So she’s told you the reasons for the discrepancy. I don’t know why you are bringing this up again. It feels to me that you really are clutching at straws my fellow countryman. So to reiterate, some of the reasons for the discrepancy are: Differing physical perspectives Differing times of acquirement Different responsibilities Different levels of expertise/confidence

Turning comments off on the Jake Barber video is weak.
