That's 20 minutes I'll never get back. A lot of obfuscation and distraction in trying to explain something that really is irrelevant to trying to dispute the Nimitz events, considering there were multiple witnesses, in multiple planes and ships, and not just FLIR camera data. Far be it that anyone should question the amazing work done Mick West, especially without a peer reviewed article to question his "findings." Oh wait, we can.

Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles

Knuth KH, Powell RM, Reali PA. Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles. Entropy. 2019; 21(10):939.

Is this likely to change minds or even consider that Mick West is a hack of epic proportions? No. Not at all. The skeptic community has done its job in making anyone who questions their dogma as being "whackadoodle." From Dr. Knuth's own publication.

"4.0 Conclusions

It is difficult to draw any definitive conclusions at this point regarding the nature and origin of these UAVs other than the fact that we have shown that these objects cannot be of any known aircraft or missiles using current technology. We have characterized the accelerations of several UAVs and have demonstrated that if they are craft then they are indeed anomalous, displaying technical capabilities far exceeding those of our fastest aircraft and spacecraft. It is not clear that these objects are extraterrestrial in origin, but it is extremely difficult to imagine that anyone on Earth with such technology would not put it to use. Even though older sightings are less reliable, observations of seemingly similar UAPs go back to well before the era of flight [1]. Collectively, these observations strongly suggest that these UAVs should be carefully studied by scientists [9,10,11,12,13].

Unfortunately, the attitude that the study of UAVs (UFOs) is “unscientific” pervades the scientific community, including SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) [34], which is surprising, especially since efforts are underway to search for extraterrestrial artifacts in the solar system [35,36,37,38,39], particularly, on the Moon, Mars, asteroids [40], and at Earth-associated Lagrange points. Ironically, such attitudes inhibit scientific study, perpetuating a state of ignorance about these phenomena that has persisted for well over 70 years, which is now especially detrimental, since answers are presently needed [41,42,43,44,45,46]."

From a physicist who does real science, including finding ways of discovering exoplanets. Amazing stuff, considering there are no peer reviewed articles out there (don't go down the SETI or METI rabbit holes to debunk this myth).
