WHAT THE FOOTAGE SUPPORTS

The strongest defensible reading

The six-minute duration provides continuity, but not identity. A persistent contrast region may be physical or may result from reflection, atmospheric temperature differences, or sensor behavior; duration cannot replace range and corroboration.

COMPETING EXPLANATIONS
