As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena

Re: As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena
#152I worked on stealth aircraft that would occasionally cause civilian UFO reports. It was common for the reports to mention that these UFOs maneuvered unlike any man-made aircraft, which was always a good chuckle because they were usually just flying straight or banking normally. However when seasoned military pilots like Fravor speak on the matter, I listen. When a bunch of them speak about the same incident, I take t…
Were they really really big, black and triangular?
Yellow, Black and Rectangular.

Three videos is not a preponderance of data. The number of photos taken in the past day exceeds the number of photos taken in the past year exceeds the number of photos taken in the 20th century. We have cameras in space, we have cameras everywhere we have people, so then where is the expected increase in observations? UFO sightings have been relatively steady, with peaks and valleys as the zeitgeist ebbs and flows.…
If the events happen mainly at altitudes, smartphones have a hard time capturing them. There’s also the argument that since these would be super-intelligent beings, they might aim for a level of exposure that they’re confident won’t make the grand public believe in their existence.
LOL! What? Aliens are worried about being exposed? Why? Did you ask them?
Answer: not aliens, just a big PsyOps to give the military more funding.

You trust the tech way too much to the point of not being able to confidently reject the impossible. This woderful US military tech tracked a guy in Afghanistan for a day and bombed him thinking that water he was carrying home to his children is explosive and he's a terrorist. It's not aliens.
I am not rejecting the possibility of this being human technology. to quote the former Deputy Secretary of Defense for Intelligence “The Alien Hypothesis currently best fits the facts”.
Yeah. But that's impossible. So there, on Earth, are just two kinds of intelligence.
Human intelligence and military intelligence. Because there's no alien intelligence here.

Nobody is throwing away all of the constructs of what we know. This may turn out to be sensor malfunction. But the DoD has over 300 events of unidentified objects that exhibit interesting flight characteristics. At the very least we should not be ignoring this data, but studying it deeply to figure out what it is. Either it’s a foreign adversary with advanced technology, an adversary that is spoofing our sensor syste…
There are plenty of explanations for these videos that don't involve alien species traveling multiple light years to troll American air force pilots, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEjV8DdSbs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGzJ9dx3n4o .
Even one that the Navy itself patented.. https://patents.google.com/patent/US10144532B2/en

This seems like strong evidence that the "tic tac" is not a flying object per se, but rather something like the focal point of a high-E-field laser? (Or a crossing point between two such beams?) If the object in question is not a physical object so much as a light show, it could undergo all sorts of impossible manouevres including instantaneous acceleration and even the appearance of exceeding the speed of light.
ion beam. look at the energy dissipation rate charts for ion beams in matter.
I suppose that works as a weapon, and would be electromagnetically steerable. Not exactly safe but...
Re: As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena
#158I'm really surprised by fascination with mystery that many HN users display here.
After all software developers and systems administrators of all people should be the first to doubt veracity of output of various devices and what their users believe about them and their output.
Besides, US military has a history of intentionally misleading the public about what they are developing, with cover stories of aliens. Is it that hard to believe that they managed to convince some of their own? Does presence of alien intelligence on Earth really seem more plausible given interstellar distances and how much we know about our own solar system?

Do you have any reason to suppose that we are ignoring it? Any reason to suppose that we are not studying it deeply?
Yes. The Chinese blimp being a huge news story, but the 300 unidentified objects over US airspace (some with performance characteristics that we cannot explain) is the biggest reason. Some in the government are studying this for sure, but it's not getting the attention that it needs.
Re: As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena
#160I really wish people would take a look at the extensive analysis some scientists have done to show the 3 navy videos of UAP are showing flight characteristics that defy our laws of physics. This guy on Twitter has done a fantastic job to show the GIMBAL object performed what we can only describe as a “vertical u-turn” https://twitter.com/the_cholla/status/1504855791060148224?s=...

We have already existing phenomena - ball lighting. It can spawn in the middle of nowhere, scorch stuff or people, go through walls, disappear, move slowly or relatively fast... my father saw once down their street, with these characteristics (without harming anybody). That it can also jump around at non-trivial speed and doing maneuvers impossible to current technology is not that hard to imagine. And that's just one example I came up just now.
Given how many hoaxes exist, how many people blindly believe basically anything, how many folks happily take advantage of that at any cost, and host of other known facts, very very hard skepticism is in place.
Oh and since its HN, we all know all software has tons of bugs, including military stuff. But no, little green men have nothing else to do just show off mostly to US air force but otherwise be untraceable, and watch us kill each other and whole ecosystem over stupid stuff.
