As a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter pilot who witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) on a regular basis, let me be clear. The U.S. government, former presidents, members of Congress of both political parties and directors of national intelligence are trying to tell the American public the same uncomfortable truth I shared: Objects demonstrating extreme capabilities routinely fly over our military facilities and training ranges. We don’t know what they are, and we are unable to mitigate their presence.

Mysteriously, no UAP reports have been confirmed to be foreign so far. However, just this past week, a Chinese surveillance balloon shut down air traffic across the United States. How are we supposed to make sense of hundreds of reports of UAP that violate restricted airspace uncontested and interfere with both civilian and military pilots?
Here is the hard truth. We don’t know. UAP are a national security problem, and we urgently need more data.
*snip*
Last May, the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee held the first UAP hearing in over 50 years. Intelligence officials testified that there were more than 400 reports of UAP, often tracked simultaneously by trained observers and multiple sensor systems, demonstrating technology that our military does not understand. Congress was briefed that incidents exist where there is sufficient data from pilots and sensors, but the case defies conventional explanation. The hearing marked a pivotal step forward to bring the topic of UAP out of the shadows and give it the urgent attention it deserves as a matter of national security.

The question is, if UFO/UAP reports are just easily explained phenomena (like Chinese balloons), why has the military always refused to deal with the issue. In fact, the USAF has ruined careers and lives in an effort to prevent and quash reports.
“Now, due to new protections for whistleblowers,”
Whistle blowers are people that reveal illegal or immoral behavior.
If you reveal classified military information that is not well understood in violation of your non-disclosure agreement, I think its called something else.
Unless the Gov’t tells/pays you to come forward...
If they were alien they would be fly all over the world over other airbases.
Where are the other reports if so.
Has to be China
A REGULAR BASIS? This person sounds like a whack job.
Whatever these UFO/UAPs are--foreign drones, atmospheric anomalies, or other--military pilots are reporting them with great regularity.
But you, an armchair admiral, have concluded that this pilot (and others I presume) are whack-jobs because of what they are reporting.
We need you in the military. Your great powers of deduction will be an asset to our country.;-)
He’s describing something that’s been going on since at least the 1940’s, and probably before that.
Doesn’t know what they are, no reason to believe they pose any threat, and we don’t have the capability to do anything about it.
But we have people who pretend they just made a discovery and something must be done about it.
But weren’t they just ‘really’ balloons? Let’s call a spade and spade... There are lots and lots of balloons out there.
I would argue that Trump changed the landscape and allowed for a massive release of belief within the military pilot community.
As for a ‘threat’...why? Nothing appears to rank more than exploration or understanding another species.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_triangle_(UFO) Black triangle (UFO) - Wikipedia The Belgian UFO wave began in November 1989. The events of 29 November were documented by over thirty different groups of witnesses, and three separate groups of police officers. All of the reports related a large object flying at low altitude. The craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath.
Britoni:
The Rendalsham AFB incident is already fairly famous.
As an aside, I didn't invent the usage of "whistleblower" with regard to this matter. Congress did when it referred to the pertinent provisions in the most recent NDAA as "whistleblower" protections.
I used to work for fellow who was an Air Force Colonel in the Stragic Air Command, he saw “anomalous phenomena” on a regular basis, about twice a year. May not be daily, but doesn’t mean it wasn’t “regular”.
...and as of today, still not one clear picture of a phenomenon? sorry but I gotta see it to believe it!!
Aha, he saw UFO’s!
The answer to the cover-up question is quite simple. The military knows who these invaders are because they have been in contact with them for years. The problem gets down to the eternal battle between good and evil which exists everywhere in creation, which obviously includes the universe as a whole. There are positive and negative galactic wars being waged in this universe between these entities. With respect to Planet Earth and the human race, some are on the side of humanity and some are pure evil. UFOs, cattle mutilations, and human abductions are the chinks in the military secrecy veil that the military keeps trying to repair and cover up. The reason they do this is that humanity can not control these entities so they try to manage them somehow and keep them at bay. Unfortunately, some have recently become more unwieldy to the point where the military is going to have to do something. DARPA’s contact and collaboration with some of these entities are evident in the ‘Super Soldier’ projects, unGodly experiments to manipulate the human genome to turn warriors into man/machine robots. Unfortunately, these alien demonic experiments have migrated into the general public realm with the engineered self-assembling components found in the covid injections. It’s all quite unworldly and clearly not Godly ordained. While we resist this growing evil we must continue to pray for God’s intervention to bring the world back to His ordained vision of creation.
That said, our military pilots aren't stupid. They are well-trained observers (to the tune of millions of $'s) and they can tell the difference between balloons and other airborne devices.
That said, these pilots aren't as well-trained as most Freepers at drawing the most accurate conclusions. And Freepers are much smarter than these fellers whose only job is to "drive" these simple jets.
Freepers vs military jet pilots? Who is better trained at identifying anomalous things floating around in the sky?
Good luck getting a clear picture of anything when you’re doing mach 3.5.
Six years active, radar operater, never saw anything like the afforementioned.
The nerve. Just who do they think they are?
I am not too worried about it. So far the occupants of these strange aerial things haven’t attacked us.
Those occupants real danger is from us. At least they seem to know landing here is a danger to them. They see kooks and idiots.
