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

What about when the radar data, the pilot's own eyes, and the targeting pod data all complement each other? What about when the Navy has a patent for craft that can fly the way these 3 data sources described? What about when the "unidentified" craft is coming from San Clemente Island (a private Navy island near the training theater)? Why did the most compelling event occur during a Navy training mission where the purpose was to test new radar equipment?

I could dismiss any one, maybe even two of these, as a coincidence. But trying to write off all of these simultaneous events as errors and coincidences, that's harder to believe than the conspiracy theory. It seems obvious, that in at least one of these reports, it is an undisclosed Navy craft.

maybe 20 yrs ago I was walking with 3 more friends down a poorly lit alley, it was already pitch dark night, when completely out of the sudden - it became bright as it would be mid-day, all 4 of us where just standing there completely awe struct trying to understand wtf is going on, I remember looking at the sky, it was blue the whole sky was blue with white clouds, perfect visibility, the whole thing lasted maybe 5 but not more than 10 seconds and then it just "switched off" to pitch dark night again, interesting was that there was no fade-in / fade-out the switch-on / off was instantaneous

a few hundred meters further down the road we met some people that we asked if they saw some flash or bright light or smth like that and they were like no, nothing like that, we checked all the media / news / weather reports - no indication of anything that could have cause this

i saw a lot of meteorites / exploding in the atmosphere but those create flashes that are very brief, this phenomenon took order of magnitude longer

even though a ton of statistically improbable things happened to me during my lifetime, this one weirds me out to this day, and yes i consider myself to be sceptic, with engineering / physics formal education (phd) working in science all my life

i believe weird stuff like this happens to a lot of people, they just don't like to talk about it because they are afraid of sounding "stupid" ... but if we want to seriously research such phenomena - we have to gather all the evidence there might be

one thing i am looking forward to is the network as a sensor 6G vision, mobile networks are omnipresent and now (2030+) they will be able to function as "omnipresent radars" thus in some not so distant future we should be able to sense our environment in a multitude of ways continuously, thus trying to figure out wtf just happened should become easier :D

Multiple fighter pilots (whose sole job is to understand aerial objects by eye and sensors), radar, camera and infrared have seen these.

“It’s a glitch, lens flare and/or the pilots are stupid, but me a programmer is an expert in this.”

I’m also curious to know if there are reports similar to these coming from civilian or commercial pilots. I mean, it doesn’t take a too gun pilot to observe a tic tac shaped flying object but it seems to me that it’s all coming from the us military who share similar technology.

There is one other group of UAP sightings I’m aware of and it’s from civilians and it seems to come almost strictly from civilians in North America.
