This is a common retort (in my view, to make people feel better and not have to consider the implications otherwise) -- here's the pentagon official in charge of the program stating unequivocally that these are almost certainly not related to any aircraft in any national inventory https://www.npr.org/2017/12/19/571868263/secret-program-at-t... The thing that makes these interesting is the fact that they exhibit aeron…
Why would he necessarily know the complete inventory? Presumably there are top secret programs where it's all very much a need to know basis.
Or he knew them but didn't want to reveal anything about them.

New planes go through extensive experimental phases. The F-35 took over a decade from first flight to being generally available and that’s not even considering the several competing aircraft that were weeded out before the F-35 was selected.
Not saying you are wrong, but a 13 year span doesn’t necessarily rule out the link OP posted.

#44Excuse me, I am generally a naive person. But what is your take on this video? Do you think this is legitimate? Do you think this “proves ” there are UFOs? Or this could be just a strategy for another goal? For example, somebody mentioned they are trying hard to redirect attention from something else? Update: I put the word prove in quotations.
The video quality is terrible, so who knows, but I've never seen any UFO footage that had any kind of decent quality video. Hell, a 2004 camera phone would be almost as good as this video. Yes, yes, its in the dark and moving fast and whatnot, but I thought that the military would have had much better imaging tech, even back in 2004, than this grainy low res thing. May as well be someones camcorder. The only thing it…
They intentionally degrade the quality of to avoid giving competitors data. I'm sure Congress has seen the original, and it's pretty startling that they still think the object is a legit UFO

"SRA in the halls of power", is the going theory for why this story is making its rounds.
What is SRA?
I'm guessing it's either Superhuman Registration Act or Sexual Recovery Anonymous [0]

#47"Possible UFO" is a silly phrase if you think about it.
Because probably for most people UFO means flying saucer.
Re: UFO spotted by US fighter jet pilots
#48Well, I mean, it's a flying object, and they clearly can't identify it, so it's not a "possible" UFO, it's the literal definition of a UFO.
Well I guess medias have taught people that UFO means extraterrestrial alien craft. I think the most optimal response to such new neologisms is to accept them once they attain a critical momentum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re: UFO spotted by US fighter jet pilots
#49Entertaining, almost convincing. I want to believe. However we know it is one of... * A hoax, like hundreds of other videos of UFO sightings. * One branch of the military testing a piece of equipment another branch is not able to identify. * A video showing an actual space craft built by aliens from another planet. Consider which of these is most likely and which is least likely. Consider also that extraordinary clai…
Why not? It's obviously very fact based. #2 seems pretty likely. If the US (or some other government) has a drone that can move in ways not generally known about, it seems like news to me.

Thanks. We've reverted the title to the article's.
