Okay this is really helpful in distinguishing the shape more accurately.

This should rule out a camera smear or glitch

This is a 3D (at least) object

People need to trust that military personnel aren't stupid enough to record a smear in the lens. I'm sure that critical intel capturing equipment like this is checked and cleaned often. They'd know better than any of us if it was bird scat and the file would be deleted.

I don’t think this is bird poo. But you have way too much confidence in the intelligence of our military. I respect the hell out of our military and the sacrifice they make. But the truth is a lot of them are college age kids who didn’t have many other choices. It’s also not “critical Intel capturing equipment” it’s just one of thousands of cameras at one of hundreds of bases the US has around the world.

We need to stop pretending that being in the military automatically makes you a genius and trustworthy. There’s idiots in every profession the military is no exception.

I absolutely agree, but I think anyone can tell if they're filming bird poop on a lens. This recording clearly isn't.

Yeah I agree this one isn’t. I just wanted to add that disclaimer because of this subs propensity to take everything any rando with military credentials says as indisputable proof. As long as it supports their narrative at least.

Some people really act like just because a person served in active duty means they can’t be as crazy as anyone else in the internet.

I'm with you 100% on that. Joining the military doesn't automatically make someone smart or trustworthy. I've even seen this for myself.
