Hello Merrell:

Yes, the rendering lacks the refinement of the scalloped edging. The image is a modification of a fully deployed square-cone parachute, operating as planned.


The inference is that the dropsonde parachute (Refer: Data Quality Control Process III-5) would have lost its tether engagement at deployment, only partially filling the chute via the air intake vents (120) and disturbing the intended structure of the “burble fences” (140), rippling them into the scallop shape in the left side image of the purported UAP (see reference Post above).
