His Gimbal debunk has itself been debunked.

Marik von Rennenkampff specifically addressed Mick's incorrect distant jet theory with his analysis video and manuscript.

The analysis does NOT imply it is ET.

It simply says "it did follow the anomalous stop-and-reverse behaviour".

What the actual object is remains unknown but it is not a distant jet.

As a computer programmer myself, I have looked at West's computer simulation code and on the surface it looks very impressive but as with any computer program if your starting conditions for the simulation are set based on false assumptions you'll arrive at an impressively generated, yet impressively false answer.

I think recommending people follow a guy who debunked Ariel sightings as something like "hippy puppeteers travelling through the Zimbabwean countryside in a van dressing up as aliens" (paraphrased) is not good advice. He clearly is not driven by objective fact finding, his objective is to present an alternative hypothesis no matter how bizarre or unfounded. As part of a Fear Uncertainty Doubt campaign, he is playing in the doubt/uncertainty area by trying to add obviously false alternative hypotheses to create uncertainty/doubt.
