All of these modal verbs can also be used to talk about degrees of certainty in the past. Once more, will or won't expresses the most certainty, and might/could or mightn't the least certainty.

That will have been Ted you saw - he's seven feet tall.
It won't have been Sue you saw - she's blonde and is five feet tall.
