Overview

Mick West shows new night-vision reference footage indicating the Navy's supposed flying pyramid UFO is just an out-of-focus light, likely a plane near LAX, rendered triangular by bokeh. He identifies other lights as Jupiter and stars.

On Hacker News

HN cites it as a concise debunking of a UFO case and an illustration of how a triangular aperture creates triangle UFOs.

The linked video in the article showing how a triangle iris creates triangle ufos is brilliant, and seems obvious after you see it. [VIDEO] Debunking this stuff is not as exciting as believing in aliens, which is why it’s a never ending battle. But the problem is when people who can make policy get duped. Again, we need better science education and should demand such for those we elect.

Someone posted this video here then deleted it. (I'm pretty sure he was an alien) It's just bokeh: [VIDEO]

Note that by "legitimate" they mean "actually taken by Navy personnel," not "actually alien spacecraft." In this particular case the media UFO hype machine seems to have discovered a case of bokeh[0]. [0] [VIDEO]
