#5 is clearly the most important reason to accept Ledger's
explanation.

I note also other excellent reasons

6 no mention of temperature inversions (like a mirage but
  affects radar)

7 no mention of nearby, shiny military aircraft

8 no mention of quirks of eyesight  (everything looks round when
  far enough away......  :)  )

9 no mention of motes in the eye

10 no mention of billowing blasts of snow/reflecting haze
   layers/orographic clouds

#11 no mention of meteors
