It's pretty fuzzy in the clips I've seen, so I think it depends what you mean by perfectly represented. A coordinated set of lasers can cause a single point to appear to emit from multiple angles simultaneously.

Re: radar, I was not aware of evidence that the radar signature of the device is known to match the appearance of the device in real-time. Where do you get this?

My understanding is that some radar stations picked up 'something moving at high velocity' in some area, and the jet fighters went in for a visual. There may be only a very loose correspondence between radar tracking and visual tracking. It would be much easier to evaluate if they released the numerical data, which the navy no doubt has.
