I would think our enemies might be unlikely to consider the History Channel a good source of intel re: U.S. weapons development.
Flourescent Pigdeons wearing Goggles with Curb Feelers ?
“I’m not saying it was aliens...”
That is really cool.

“Perhaps a low orbit satellite, perhaps a classic UFO. Who knows but was interesting.”
Twice I’ve seen objects climbing East over the Rockies from Utah. One had a contrail like a string of pearls and I thought ‘Aurora’, the plane that doesn’t exist. The other time I watched a ball of fire climbing until it winked out (I suppose it left the atmosphere). Both went horizon to horizon in 15 seconds or so.
This stuff was picked up by F/A-18 Super Hornets equipped with AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar (visually confirmed by pilots and crew), picked up by the new E-2D Hawkeye with its AN/APY-9 radar suite, and picked up by the U.S.S. Princeton, an Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyer built around the Aegis Combat System and the SPY-1D multifunction passive electronically scanned array radar.
Want an out there take?
Angels.
Angels or demons...or other.
It’s like looking at the sun! you have a peek and look way!
Trump said he talked to one of those navy pilots and he’s sceptical.
Too much drinking in the cockpit : )
He wiggled out of trouble and flashed a "duping delight" smile before doing it.
BTW a "duping delight" smile is a dead giveaway that a "lie" is about to be or has been told.
Trump didn't exactly "lie"...he wiggled out of a tight corner.
IIRC, the President didn’t talk with a pilot but was briefed on the subject by his DOD team.
re: “The majority of the Super Hornet squadrons equipped with AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array at the time (off of Virginia) were encountering these craft AND so were the new E-2D Hawkeyes (with their AN/APY-9 radar suite).”
Sounds like they were hitting ‘hard’ targets; BIG difference in wavelength from the UHF (400 MHz ~80 cm) band the E-2D uses and the F/A-18 X-band (10 GHz 3 cm) RADARs ...
“Is the military (in this case DOD and the Navy) telling us we have develop such craft? Er, no. That makes absolutely no sense.”
The UFO craze that resulted in Project Blue Book was encouraged to provide an alternate explanation for all kinds of high performance aircraft then in test. There was evidence that the Russians were buying it to an extent. Course that UFO that they were chasing may have been a U-2 .
Its been out months before the History channel started doing stuff. These “tic tac” craft are really nothing new.
I’ve personally been postings articles on this subject on FR since 2017.
As you will note, both the President and the Senate have been briefed within the last week.
As Confucius said (or maybe it was Lao Tze or General Tso), "Sum ting zup."
