Reports newly released by the Naval Safety Center reveal more information on the bizarre encounters U.S. Navy pilots have had with unidentified flying objects off the east coast of the United States. Eight hazard reports filed with the center's web-based reporting system were acquired under the Freedom of Information Act by The Drive and detail strange run-ins that include a near mid-air collision with a balloon-like object and a sighting of a suitcase-sized aircraft. In one 2014 encounter, the Navy jet reported even being able to lock onto the object with an air-to-air missile.

Might want to take a close look at the systems and who wrote the software.
These objects in the released report were seen exclusively seen by Navy pilots. When asked to comment, the USAF refused. When asked if similar sightings had occurred with USAF pilot flying with the same radars, the USAF refused comment.
Now what does the USAF know that the Navy does not? A suggested answer is that the objects were USAF drones being tested in real conditions; keep in mind the US mil is, at the minimum, 50 years beyond what is publicly known; and as someone said: 50 years beyond what we can understand 50 years from now.
Its entirely possible the putative ‘aliens’ have nothing to do with this particular story. Which is simply meant to let the public (and certain other countries) know that SOMETHING is going on.
Don’t shoot me - am just reporting what’s out there.
American Tourister on hyper-drive?
Looks like these reports are mostly about Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones), unlike what Fravor and other pilots saw on the west coast.
Air Force has Area 51. Maybe that’s why.
Or maybe the UFOs aren’t coming from space, they’re coming from the bottom of the ocean.
*technically* if the MISSILE locked on (while still on the rail) then the object had a strong enough heat signature in the right wavelengths. (Sidewinder)
Since at least the WWII era "Foo Fighters", pilots have reported strange encounters which ultimately turn out to be one or more of mis-identification, atmospheric phenomenon, or imagination.
They are called that in some reports by the Navy. Are they USAF drones or actual manned craft? Who knows. However, in one report there is a a Navy surface ship steaming south but the Navy was UNABLE to identify that vessel. Very odd.
No sir. SAR sometimes have a false return. I’ve locked “ghost”
returns a few times.
Yes, that was quite odd.
Please see Post 11 and 31.
Please keep up: read the original story and all the supporting articles and data before commenting.
These are not just some report by some pilots seeing something. These are verifiable, simultaneously filmed and visually seen objects by trained and experienced pilots - some of the best trained that ever flew.
Yes. The Prime Directive has already been violated at least once. Dont screw this up any more than it already is!!
maybe they weren’t really “ghost” returns in the light of this new information?
Just because I have a different opinion doesn't mean I'm less informed.

Were the WWII era pilots reporting encounters with Foo fighters during combat missions any less trained, or experienced?
Either real, or an extremely sophisticated electronic warfare countermeasure spoofing a real target. I doubt the latter.
F-18 pilots have been experiencing hypoxia issues for quite some time now. Maybe some of this is hallucinations. (I’m kinda joking there). That wouldn’t explain the avionics seeing these objects however. Lets remember, UFO means unidentified not extraterrestrial.
Drones. He locked on with a heat-seeker
