The balloon is much closer than the Red Arrows, so would probably only appear in a very few photos from a certain angle. Quite possibly this is the only one.

It's definitely a heart balloon, though. You can see the filling tab at the bottom.

I wonder if those photos will ever turn up, or will they get conveniently 'lost?'

Not sure how he can draw such a conclusion from a brain scan.

It could be the case that something else had caused the scar tissue and that predisposed the pilots to interpret things as UFOs.

Here's a previous thread about this chap.

Some interesting comments there.

Before we get too carried away with this hypothesis, Nolan only managed to find two people with this pre-existing condition, out of a sample of 100 witnesses. Few scientists would erect a working theory on such meagre evidence.

Perhaps more importantly - he didn't report any subject for whom a prior MRI demonstrated "normal" caudate nucleus / putamen status in their past generally, much less some past point preceding any UFO (etc.) encounter.

I have to assume fighter pilot G Forces could cause brain damage.

Why would an UFO encounter injure the brain as this would indicate a hostile action on the UFO part using a ray or force field. ?

Has there been a hostile UFO event. ?

Thomas Mantell was an unfortunate UFO mistake in Kentucky and strangely Mantell crashed not far from his house, Franklin,Kentucky.

In May of 2021 a “ Phoenix Lights “ type UFO lurked over the U.S. biggest Marine base at 29 Palms, California (1,000 square miles).

Spokeswoman for the DoD, Sue Gough, did not dispute this report but claimed it was a weapon’s test.

Ufologists Jeremy Cornell and George Knapp claim otherwise with testimony from several Marines.

After thinking about the above 29 Palms Marine base, the idea that the Department of Defense did not try to cover up a situation that did happen at this Marine base,

The DoD pushed the idea of weapons testing which is strange because weapons testing would not be near the men at the base?

This sighting has already been discussed, and explained, in this thread.

This was certainly a military exercise; they were testing infrared flares, which can burn for several minutes while floating down on parachutes. They don't flood the countryside with visible light, but instead emit infrared radiation which can be detected using night-vision equipment.

However they are dimly visible to the human eye; here is a screenshot from a film taken at this event, showing five infrared flares and two visible light flares, and the difference in brilliance can be clearly seen.

These flares were being tested at a significant distance from the base, beyond the mountains - the men were in no danger. Flares, even infrared flares, can be seen for many kilometres.

You see this answer to UFOs comes down to interpretation of how flares behave.

Do flares stay together or drift apart ?

Do flares all have the same brightness ?

Why some flares might light up a minute or two later ?

Over 50 Marines told Corball and Knapp they knew what flares looked like, and this was a UFO.

Do flares stay together or drift apart ?

Well, you can see the flares drift apart over time if you compare the photos taken during the event. The flares move significantly with respect to one another, demonstrating that they are not all fixed to a single craft.

Do flares all have the same brightness ?

Flares of the same type do. But in this event there are two different types of flare, and the ones that mostly emit visible light are significantly brighter than the ones which mostly emit infra-red light.
Apologies for posting the same image again, but this demonstrates the difference nicely.

Why some flares might light up a minute or two later ?

Because they were launched at different times? Probably from helicopters or aircraft too far away to be audible. These flares were likely about 10km from the witnesses, if not more.

Over 50 Marines told Corball and Knapp they knew what flares looked like, and this was a UFO.

The Marines were presumably not familiar with this kind of flare. They would be familiar with ground-launched flares or perhaps decoy flares, as opposed to long-duration aircraft-dropped flares.

--------
Finally we know for certain that there was an exercise occurring on this date, and in this direction as seen from the camp. This was the Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course 2-21, at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, in Twentynine Palms about 10km away.
Here is a promotional video from the exercise.
