60 Minutes To Feature Navy Pilot UAP Encounters

In the more recent sightings, E.g. the Nimitz encounters, the radar operators had said that the original video was a lot clearer. So the video was likely altered before it was released. I noticed in the 60 Minutes report, that there was a triangle UFO that had been blurred. Even though there are clearer photos of the same UFO already on the net.

 

There have been many civilian and military personnel witnesses to dead alien bodies @ the New Mexico crash sights in the '40s. Some have said that in addition to the dead aliens, there were parts of US military uniforms, and human body parts on board. And that this is one of the reasons the military did not want the information released to the public and risk widespread panic.

The UFO recorded over Puerto Rico is said to only have been 5' in length. This was filmed by a Dept. of Homeland Security aircraft in 2013.

In 2019 US Navy warships were swarmed by UFOs; here is RADAR footage from that event series.



BACKGROUND

This footage was filmed in the CIC (Combat Information Center) of the USS Omaha on July 15th 2019 in a warning area off San Diego by Visual Intelligence Personnel (VIPER team). This RADAR data release shows four clips; multiple unknown targets (and one civilian vessel). Some of the unknown targets drop off RADAR in this footage. This happened numerous times throughout the UFO encounter series. At the height of the contacts - there were at least fourteen unknowns observed at one time. The event series reached a crescendo with one of the unknown targets entering the water at 11pm. No wreckage found. None of the unidentified craft were recovered.

This is corroborative electro-optic data demonstrating a significant UFO event series - where unknowns were swarming US Navy warships. This type of cross-platform information verification is both unique and rare in the pursuit of the UFO mystery.

I'm sure the Pentagon knows more than most people what drone capabilities various countries have. And yet have still described aircraft from this event as "Unknowns".

I don't agree with "absolute certainty". There should always be some doubt. But I like Carl Sagan's "Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence" paraphrasing ?

But if you look at some of the evidence with an open mind, I would say that it is extraordinary. Specifically the radar data. Radar data in conjunction with infrared, and visual sightings from highly trained pilots. The Nimitz encounters were the most compelling, IMO. And also UAP materials analysis. Conclusions by geologists that these were manufactured materials with extraterrestrial isotopic ratios.

Pentagon confirms radar data video is from Navy personnel.

Never been a fan of Politico, but this is a good article:

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/05/28/ufos-secret-history-government-washington-dc-487900

 

Sure. No doubt "Mick West" has more data than the Pentagon, who have confirmed the unknowns. And it's sure odd that this "bokeh" shows up at the same exact time that multiple crew members have seen the unknowns with their own eyes. And recorded the data with the most state of the art radar gear ever developed.

And our front line carrier pilots ? I guess they're all just a bunch of UFO conspiracy nuts who are just too dumb to be able to figure out what they're looking at. Perhaps we should put "Mick West" in the seat ? At least we'll be done with him the first time he tries to land.

And the big reveal - a pol got a contract for a private company, who then donated campaign funds to said pol ! Who would have ever thought that could possibly happen ? Get real ? That's the way it works. That's they way it's always worked - ask Nancy Pelosi's husband.

NYT article on upcoming UAP Report

WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have found no evidence that aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots in recent years are alien spacecraft, but they still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military, according to senior administration officials briefed on the findings of a highly anticipated government report.

The report determines that a vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology, the officials said. That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret.

But that is about the only conclusive finding in the classified intelligence report, the officials said. And while a forthcoming unclassified version, expected to be released to Congress by June 25, will present few other firm conclusions, senior officials briefed on the intelligence conceded that the very ambiguity of the findings meant the government could not definitively rule out theories that the phenomena observed by military pilots might be alien spacecraft.

Americans’ long-running fascination with U.F.O.s has intensified in recent weeks in anticipation of the release of the government report. Former President Barack Obama further stoked the interest when he was asked last month about the incidents on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on CBS.

“What is true, and I’m actually being serious here,” Mr. Obama said, “is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are.’’

The report concedes that much about the observed phenomena remains difficult to explain, including their acceleration, as well as ability to change direction and submerge. One possible explanation — that the phenomena could be weather balloons or other research balloons — does not hold up in all cases, the officials said, because of changes in wind speed at the times of some of the interactions.

The final report will also include a classified annex, the officials said. While the annex will not contain any evidence concluding that the phenomena are alien spacecraft, the officials acknowledged that the fact that it would remain off limits to the public was likely to continue to fuel speculation that the government had secret data about alien visitations to Earth.

Many of the more than 120 incidents examined in the report are from Navy personnel, officials said. The report also examined incidents involving foreign militaries over the last two decades. Intelligence officials believe at least some of the aerial phenomena could have been experimental technology from a rival power, most likely Russia or China.

One senior official briefed on the intelligence said without hesitation that U.S. officials knew it was not American technology. He said there was worry among intelligence and military officials that China or Russia could be experimenting with hypersonic technology.

He and other officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the classified findings in the report.

Russia has been investing heavily in hypersonics, believing the technology offers it the ability to evade American missile-defense technology. China has also developed hypersonic weaponry, and included it in military parades. If the phenomena were Chinese or Russian aircraft, officials said, that would suggest the two powers’ hypersonic research had far outpaced American military development.

Navy pilots were often unsettled by the sightings. In one encounter, strange objects — one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind — appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, high in the skies over the East Coast. Navy pilots reported to their superiors that the objects had no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes, but that they could reach 30,000 feet and hypersonic speeds.

Lt. Ryan Graves, an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot who was with the Navy for 10 years, told The New York Times in an interview, “These things would be out there all day.” With the speeds he and other pilots observed, he said, “12 hours in the air is 11 hours longer than we’d expect.”

In late 2014, a Super Hornet pilot had a near collision with one of the objects, and an official mishap report was filed. Some of the incidents were recorded on video, including one taken by a plane’s camera in early 2015 that shows an object zooming over the ocean waves as pilots question what they are watching.

The Defense Department has been collecting such reports for more than 13 years as part of a shadowy, little-known Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program within the Pentagon. The program analyzed radar data, video footage and accounts provided by the Navy pilots and senior officers.

The program began in 2007 and was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time. It was officially shut down in 2012, when the money dried up, according to the Pentagon. But Luis Elizondo, who ran the program at the time, said that he continued it until 2017. After the publication of a New York Times article later that year about the program and criticism from program officials that the government was not forthcoming about reports on aerial phenomena, the Pentagon restarted the program last summer as the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.

The task force’s mission was to “detect, analyze and catalog” sightings of strange objects in the sky that could pose a threat to national security. But government officials said they also wanted to remove the stigma for service members who report U.F.O. sightings in the hope that more would be encouraged to speak up if they saw something. The goal, officials said, was to give authorities a better idea of what might be out there.

Last year, lawmakers inserted a provision in the Intelligence Authorization Act that said the government must submit an unclassified report on what it knows about U.F.O.s. That report is the one to be released this month.

Officials briefed on the report said it also examined video that shows a whitish oval object described as a giant Tic Tac, about the size of a commercial plane, encountered by two Navy fighter jets off the coast of San Diego in 2004.

In that incident, the pilots reported an interaction with the craft, which lasted for several minutes. At one point, the object peeled away, one of the pilots, Cmdr. David Fravor, later said in an interview with The Times. “It accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen,” he said.

The report studies that incident, including the video that accompanied the interaction. The provenance of the object, the officials said, is still unknown.

The Flying Saucer Mystery 1952

 

Well that could be true. But what's interesting is that the same characteristics that have been observed in recent years, e.g. instant acceleration, hypersonic speeds, lack of control surfaces or visible means of propulsion, were also observed back in the 1940s - 1950s. It would be hard to believe that any Earthly world power had that kind of tech back then.
