Massive deja vu, as you might imagine. And I saw that as like a cry for help, essentially, that these videos now have been somewhat smuggled out. They're on the front page of New York Times.

My understanding is that work was done partially with Lou Elizondo and Chris Mellon. So there was two videos that were attached, right? So when you record in the jet, it records two screens. Can we show those, Jamie? Show those videos. So it records these two screens, right? And the bottom screen is like a God's eye view with all your radar data. And the right one is your FLIR system.

And when you watch that in the briefing room after, they're stitched together like side by side. And that's what I saw and that's how I built my understanding of this situation.

Yeah, they weren't able to gain a lock in their air-to-air mode. So they actually had to degrade down to an air-to-surface mode, kind of a manual locking mode. And that's that box that you see.

The air-to-air mode should essentially be looking exactly where the radar is dropping them off and should automatically lock on it. But in the method that you're seeing here, the pilot's manually slewing the sensor. This is kind of like a last-ditch effort to get it. And he's, like, restarting it, and that's why the box keeps getting bigger. And it's getting smaller. It's not capturing it.

We don't know. You know, one theory is that it's because it's relatively close to the ground and there's a lot of background, right, to confuse the sensor.

It's somewhere around 10,000 feet or so. So it's really not that close. So it's really not a great explanation. But, yeah, you can see him try it there.

I don't know if anyone has estimated a size, to be honest. From the pilot's perspective, they're not going to be able to make a real-time assessment of the size.
