Mick West is a disinformation artist. The only way he can 'make an argument' is by deliberately misrepresenting the facts of what happened. What he does is typical of the so called 'Debunkers/Skeptics'.
The basic facts of this case were that pilots saw the object at close range, it was also filmed in high definition, and was tracked on multiple radars, and it was clearly not an aircraft. What West tried to do was isolate one part of what happened, the fuzziness of the declassified film, and then (poorly) questioned the image (saying it might be an aircraft), a tactic that wasn't successful in its own right (because it did not look like one). He then declares that the object must therefore be an aircraft. There's simply no evidence to support the idea that what was recorded was an aircraft! West pretends the opposite (with a straight face - he's acting). This clownish analysis tags him as a disinformation artist. No honest analyst could come to the conclusion he made.
The question is, why do these clowns exist? Are they being paid by the intelligence services tasked to keep a lid on this material? Are they being blackmailed? or both?
Additional Editor's comment:
Disinformation is something that is almost always put out by Governments, or their intelligence services, or cut out groups such as those calling themselves "Skeptics" or "Debunkers". A common tactic is to use a false explanation to 'explain away' strong evidence supporting a controversial issue, where the explanation doesn't actually fit the circumstances or match what was seen. They also layer their 'explanation' with a sense of 'authority', which is a psychological ploy. Another layer to the disinformation is that they do mix real analysis concerning other cases or issues that is valid. What they do with this is then beat people on the head saying that authority and analysis was correct about these other instances and then lie about significant events that really do prove a challenge to the status quo (or authority). This story of action on their part works a lot of the time. The way to see through it is to carefully follow what is being argued, recognising the key/significant details/observations, which then shows up the lying.
I use the term lying when it comes to the disinformation artists because the idea that they are just making a mistake does not gel with their other sophisticated (valid) analysis, that they use as a shield when selling people their snake oil explanations.
The 30 min video is a lesson on disinformation surrounding the Tic Tac UFO case recorded by the US Navy in 2004. Ignore the first 2 min intro part to the clip, and go with the analysis thereafter. This post is me trying to teach people old lessons that you might find handy today when faced with our Government ranting on about misinformation and disinformation. It's an appeal for people to be considering details, at least for a few minutes, and not to take in whatever authority is telling you at face value.
