Absolutely. Yeah. I was new there just checking in. Uh, and that's how I wind up actually going to the Jackson. A lot of folks that are either not in the military or not in the Navy, uh, Littoral combat ships, you can be moved around pretty often. For those that know, we know you get moved around a lot if you have certain NECs or different skills that they need on another ship.

So I originally started off on the Omaha and wound up going to the Jackson afterwards. Uh, but I, I saw the Omaha video, uh, afterwards. I actually didn't even know it was being recorded originally. Uh, but I was there for that incident. Just wasn't on watch. I wasn't, you know, a brand new check-in, uh, to the command and just kind of observing things.

Uh, never been on an LCS before, so it was new for me. Uh, but yeah.

Absolutely. Yeah. It's, it's a thermal sensor. And I understand, uh, for those that have seen the video, they may believe that that is like a snippet directly from the system. Uh, From my understanding, I figured if you go outside and record at night with your cell phone, I assume this is cell phone footage, that you're going to get grainy video if you record on your cell phone anything at night.

And of course, it's very dark in CIC and in the bridge. So I know I'm in my 40s. I've seen plenty of UFO videos.

uh and i've asked myself like why why can't there just be a 4k video a perfect video uh but the circumstances seem that you know during night i mean not everybody's walking around with a night camera to capture these types of things unless they're enthusiasts so on sapphire you should be able to see how far that things in the air and and on the surface I'm not a CSM.

This is just me taking a stab at it. But I would say on a clear day without any atmospherics, we should be able to see somewhere between... I'd say 13 to 17 nautical miles. And we're saying zooming in and I'm not saying a perfect, you know, 4K video, but being able to see again, CSMs out there that are watching this are probably going to step on my toes for that one.

But I don't know the exact number yet.
