And what exactly are these sensor/radar glitches they keep mentioning?
----
"Sensor and radar glitches in UAP reports typically manifest as phantom blips, electronic filtering errors, and Doppler spoofing artifacts. These anomalies are often indistinguishable from genuine objects without rigorous cross-correlation of multiple sensor types.

Parallax and IR bloom:
"IR bloom refers to the visual artifact in infrared imaging where a high-intensity source of radiation causes excess charge to spill over into adjacent pixels, making the bright object appear larger and blurrier than it actually is. This phenomenon is primarily driven by optical effects such as stray radiation, diffraction, and lens scatter, which dominate over minor electronic carrier diffusion in focal-plane arrays." (LLM)
"The parallax effect is a visual technique where background elements move at a different speed than foreground elements, creating an illusion of three-dimensional depth in a two-dimensional space. This optical illusion mimics real-world perception, where nearby objects appear to move faster than distant ones when the observer changes position. " (LLM)

- Phantom Radar Returns: Objects appearing on radar that vanish when visual or infrared confirmation is attempted, such as the 2014 Virginia Beach incidents where F/A-18 pilots detected targets that disappeared from visual sightlines despite radar tracking.
- Electronic Filtering Artifacts: Modern radar systems electronically enhance data, which can create false targets or obscure real signals due to software bugs or incorrect logic assumptions about enemy equipment.
- Doppler Spoofing: Adversary electronic warfare techniques that record and replay radar pulses with delays or shifted frequencies, making targets appear to move at different velocities or distances than they actually are.
- Multi-Spectral Discrepancies: Cases where visual observers see an object but radar systems detect nothing, or vice versa, such as the 2004 Nimitz encounter where infrared sensors tracked a Tic-Tac object while visual pilots confirmed its presence, contrasting with cases where only radar detected anomalies.
- Sensor Jamming and Interference: Reports of targeting radars being "jammed" or shutting down when attempting to "paint" a UAP, suggesting either active electronic countermeasures or sensor malfunction due to unusual electromagnetic signatures. " (LLM)
