I understand what they are supposed to be, but how did Mike get his hands on them? And how does he know what he has are legit?
To go along with that, does he have anyway of proving these are legit captures? or is that what this is supposed to prove?

Definitely impossible to produce these PCAP's when you consider the complexity. It's not just the IP addresses, the data needs to perfectly reflect the real world live feeds which are public, so sequence of changes, size of changes, timing of changes, location of changes...and even then you need to have intimate knowledge of the systems which are being targeted which are proprietary....and all this work done perfectly, packaged and delivered in a little over 2 months
Despite all this, someone will eventually ask "Where did you get this load of crap from?". As ignorant as that question would be, it's loaded with doubt inducing deceit targeting the very people you're trying to convince.
I think the sheer number of tech security experts there will be sufficient to legitimise the data, but if it doesn't, they desperately needs some official acknowledgement that it was somehow collected by Space Force.
Taking and examining PCAPs is what I didn't in the AF before I got out a couple months ago. Watching this is like picking up amateur boxing and then watching Tyson or Merryweather go at it for my first time.
