I should have mentioned I was not talking about "aircraft flutter". 
I've seen some amazingly strong reflections from small aircraft at a 
pretty good distance. I've often wondered if, back in the 1930's, 
this is how someone was triggered to develop radar?

Anyway, I'm talking about a more or less constant flutter that goes 
on day and night, seemingly forever.
