Remarks

  • They failed to account for refraction, while at the same time made the claim that refraction cannot possibly cause it.
  • Refraction in the scene is high. Especially with the observation from 1 ft elevation. This is in line with expectations for a close to surface observation.
  • Everything is consistent with the spherical Earth model.
