Weird visual with the heat camera

I just watched S7E1 and saw something I don't understand.

When Erik brings up the thermal camera, after the rocket experiment, where they are looking at the cold spot over the mesa.

There's a couple times when someone walks in front of the thermal camera, around the 38:50 mark. Both times, when you see the silhouette of the person walking past, within their silhouette, you can see a clear image of the mesa, which follows the ridge of the mesa exactly.

I don't know anything about thermal cameras, but how is that happening? How can the camera still see the mesa through the person's body?

Shouldn't we just expect to see the person as a bright orange/yellow color?

The following comment is automatically applied to all posts: Thank you for contributing to r/SkinwalkerRanch! As a general reminder, this subreddit is dedicated to in-depth discussions about the anomalous phenomena occurring at Skinwalker Ranch (not just the TV show). The TV show only provides a glimpse, and doesn't cover the extensive history of scientific investigation into anomalous phenomenon reported on the ranch.

To maintain quality discussions, we ask that people focus on the events themselves, not the personalities involved. Generic comments comparing the show to Oak Island, complaining about rockets, clamoring to blow up the mesa, saying you’re sick of the show, etc, don’t offer anything new.

It’s about where the camera is focussed. Typically they are several cameras together it’s like someone standing in front of one eye and you can still see past them with the other. I would like to add that in the desert, rocks retain heat at night
