Is it possible he’s just repeating something he read on a navy report? Genuine question.

The videos are of real aircraft recorded through a FLIR pod. When zoomed out far enough the aircraft simply look like fuzzy ovals as demonstrated in this video https://youtu.be/jWjpnCKcj8M?t=136 For some reason people in the military and government are trolling the public, perhaps as part of a campaign to discredit news agencies.

I thought we were over the fact that news agencies don't need any help to discredit themselves.

We are far from that point. On some things, they do fine. Others have conflicts of interest in play. We get messaged to.

Ever since the 1970's mysterious UFO and bigfoot style videos have turned up. Always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS distant, blurry, out of focus and "from an authoritative source". This is precisely the same as the 1970s. Leonard Nimoy knew what was going on "In Search Of UFOs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVFWJDPcPnk

I took a sci-fi movie course in the 90s and the professor opened it by mentioning people used to see great clipper ships in the sky.

The other telling moment was when he asked why UFOs only appear in places “so small people have to take turns being the village idiot” and someone leapt up to day, “You can’t prove it’s not true!”

I feel like a lot of commenters on here must first be hearing of this or have not even looked into the tic-tac case even a small amount. You have a top gun pilot and his WSO on record saying they saw it visually along with a huge underwater craft. It moved in ways that nothing using conventional propulsion can. Hovering for example is extremely difficult, made all the harder with no wings, blades or visible exhaust.…

Well, shut my mouth.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If we have planes that can do that, I'm a bit proud and I feel happy that all those tax dollars falling into black budget holes have been doing something interesting. Personally I doubt it. The performance of that thing (assuming it is really a physical craft) is ludicrous.

I would be a bit upset that they were hoarding technology the public sector could use.

Be prepared for a lot of upset then

I see nothing stupid with using quantum mechanics and nuclear science in this context.

> Can we call out politicians for just throwing in words that they don't know what they mean?

I'm sure they know what those words mean on a surface level. They don't really need to understand them beyond that point, it's not their job.

Presumably the job of these elite pilots in the fastest war machines available is to get a close look - why don't they move to intercept?

Conveniently "impossible" of course for some reason, guessing they were "going too fast" to be intercepted.
