The parallax effect is extraordinarily pronounced because of the tiny field of view, given that you're using a piece of kit that in narrow or ultra-narrow is designed to look at people-sized objects through 5 miles of sky. …

He's interpreted the numbers totally right, like I said the one I'm unsure about is the raw range as I don't know what system ATFLIR uses to measure that. If it's firing a laser then it's accurate. I thought it could even be a big seabird or something at first.
