Well, given that they were perfectly visible, I think that the simples explanation is that your ADS-B receiver wasn't handling that particular situation. There's no stealth if you can see it and read the number. Surely someone took a photo with a zoom lens?

I believe the team was truly unable to identify any number on the helicopter, & the avionics receiver was working perfectly fine, from what I was told. You state authoritatively that it was for a power line survey, but you haven’t verified who it really was & if that was the case

Also, maybe you can ask Apple what would cause an iPhone to go nuts as demonstrated on their footage. That should be a major security/usability concern for them.

Explain this @MickWest: When the team discovered the dead cow, BOTH Kaleb’s iPhone AND Thomas Winterton’s Galaxy S9 started malfunctioning. Caught on camera. Not re-enacted. Not fabricated. And this is not an isolated incident on the ranch (different makes/models/settings)

Lmao!!! I love this exchange! What is the statistical probability of two completely different phones, from different manufacturers and different operating systems BOTH malfunctioning at the same time? While RF energy & gamma energy is being logged by multiple devices?

That depends on how much they malfunction normally. Did they check after? And those RF levels were NOT high. Trifield meter is for EMF hypochondriacs, and only goes up to 20 mW/m2. It maxes out near a phone.
