This is possibly the most farcical reporting from NG that I have ever seen--NG's reputation plummets faster than the falcon's reported speed of 242 mph. All the laws of physics are being broken here--just like UFO sightings where the laws of inertia never seem to hold. A lot of questions automatically arise: 1) What does the computer do? 2) What is the drag coefficient of the leaded bait? 3) Why not drop bait with a GPS attached? 4) Where is the cameraman who catches the falcon catching the bait? 5) Do the jumpers go belly down or head down?

The notion that a bird can fly faster than the fastest arrow is something only a fool will believe, and it is clear that everyone doing the talking in this area is a fool. When GPS gets reduced in size to where a bird can wear one, all this idiocy will be shown for what it is, and the falcons will be seen to never break 90mph. It's amazing that such fraudulent science can be swallowed by NG's incompetent editors, but that seems to be what happens when science is popularized, with dollars outweighing hard evidence, and when there are no good physicists on the editorial board.

242mph! What gibberish. --AGF
