Of course there is something to respond to. Fravor called West stupid and he felt a need to show that he knows what he's talking about. West could be wrong, but he's just putting out a hypothesis, and he'd be happy to be proven so if the evidence existed.
I'm not. Unidentified Flying Objects could be anything, including a balloon. Fravor is conflating his training to identify a known aircraft with an ability to identify an unknown airborne object. Perspective, parallax, and any other optical illusion can make you unable to understand what you're seeing.

His very first rebuttal is questioning his training as an "observer", something which he has no knowledge of obviously. 17 years flying and training and you want to question his ability to determine size when he clearly explains how he does it? I stopped at that point, I'm all for questioning facts but find some real holes to go after.
