Ok that means if he sees the hex as soon as the human eye could see it.

a 400 size quad the time shrinks to 46ms. So please tell me who could tell if it's a quad, bird or a
balloon. Commercial Aircraft have onboard cameras pointing to the front windows. So far no videos
has been released. If there was then the FAA would have the needed smoking gun.

So get real guys! Use the common sense God gave you.

I agree with your point 100% but I can't follow your math.

161 Mph is 260 Kph

That is 260,000 meters per hour.

That equates to 72 meters per second.

If he spots it at just 100 meters that is over 1300 milliseconds not 71ms?

Academic really because 1.3 seconds is no time to react anyway but curious how you got the 71 and 46 ms?
