Navy confirms, but can't explain strange 'aerial' objects in 3 videos

Sept. 19 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has acknowledged what appear to be unusual flying objects in footage from three separate military videos, saying they show "unidentified aerial phenomena" moving at high speeds.

All three videos were recorded by F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets -- two in 2015 and one in 2004. The Navy refers to the sightings as UAP, not UFOs.

"The three videos show incursions into our military training ranges by unidentified aerial phenomena," Navy spokesman Joseph Gradisher said in an emailed statement. "The Navy has characterized the observed phenomena as 'unidentified.'"

The 2004 footage, taken from an aircraft assigned to the USS Nimitz, shows an oblong object accelerate out of view of the sensor. In another, an object moves against the wind at high speeds. The last video shows a UAP over water.

The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, a group that examines unidentified objects and alien life, contends the videos were made public through a declassification review process.

The oldest video was released in 2007, but the Navy said it doesn't know how the others were made public.

"These videos are copies of official Navy footage taken by Navy personnel conducting training missions in controlled military airspace," Gradisher said.

Gradisher said the UAP seen in the videos could potentially be drones.

"All of this is about incursions into our training ranges by what we're calling UAPs," Gradisher told The Washington Post. "These incursions cause a hazard to the safety of our aviators and the security of our operators, and that's what the Navy's investigating, these range incursions."

I was a bit worried about these dummies, the government is very serious when they issue a no go perimeter line.

If the intruders did storm Area 51, maybe we’d have the extraterrestrials acting as perimeter security. There’s no law against that is there?

I guess they are still going to have some sort of party in Vegas. But it might fold also.

There are a lot of UFO programs on TV currently - plus the Navy’s recent disclosures may indicate they are preparing us for a big announcement sometime soon. Maybe the simple truth for a change.

Did you talk to them? What are they like? Did they use telepathy?

I didn’t ask if you have “talked” to any yet, I asked if you have “seen” any yet. lol

I have neither seen, not talked to any aliens (other than illegals).

Have you seen any aliens/EBEs and have you spoken with them, and do they use telepathy?

That and the possibility of a mob of people with what could be seen as somewhat of hostile intent being made to take a dirt nap by Air Force snipers protecting an air field/military installation.
