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."
VIDEOS AT LINK.................
Don’t know, little boogers are hard to catch up with.
EXACTLY LOL
I dunno what ‘aliens’ like; but the center of the Galaxy appears to smell like raspberries and taste like....Rum:

Sounds like a nice combination...
What did ‘The Navy’ recently disclose?
“Ancient astronaut theorists believe....”
Is it possible? Absolutely!
Try reading the article.
That IR video is getting the sh!t processed out of it. I guarantee the programmers don’t have any idea what their programs are ultimately doing. The image data is getting rotated, sharpened, filtered, zoomed, shifted left-right-up-down. There is probably extra effort applied to the aim point; the equivalent of our fovia where there are more cones to increase our visual resolution. My guess is there are subroutines that take the data of the aim point, and try desperately to bring out the detail of what is there (if anything). All it would take is for the output of such a subroutine to get fed back and relooped through the stable of filter routines, to make “something” appear. The appearance of such a processing artifact would non-deterministic, and would be impossible to predict or reproduce in testing. This is what we get when we use “artificial intelligence”.
Not a UFO. Not an object at all.
Check out a video about a star ship Enterprise model being flown underwater in a swimming pool.
Hey you got to put up a warning. I almost drown in my adult beverage. That was Great
Back in college we had to write and run software to filter and clean up seismic reflection data (oil exploration).
Just stuff to filter out noise, multiple reflections, etc. to clean up the data.
One genius kid made a routine that filtered all of the waveform data (say an 8” by 36” image of black and white waveforms) down to an approx. inch square black “X” in the middle of a white page.
He hand wrote “Drill Here” in Sharpie. (I don’t recall, but I’m guessing he also did the actual assignment. Good student, but a smart ass in a likeable way.)
