Miitary friends and family told same thing
Do not report or will end career
If questioned refuse to confirm or deny
Experience over missile silos at US base drove at least one to drink
Heavily

According to a friend who was a radar guy for the AF, the proper response is “I think someone needs to check on this radar unit”. Never deny what you saw (because other people may have seen it) but blame the equipment. You always have plausible deniability because you didn’t actually see anything.
He claimed anomalies usually indicated a tube was about to go.

A coworker told me a story about seeing something when he was a pilot. He radioed it in, thinking it was another plane. They were waiting on him when he got back so he told them it looked like a weather balloon. Right answer. They left him alone.

Interesting points.

Did any of y’all see anything like what was seen around the silos, etc?
