Sorry this is off-topic, but is the cockpit of that plane open?! It is ... it looks like a photoshop job. Possibly even a photoshop of a plastic model.
Note that the front tire (tyre?) is NOT spinning. Also, no visible jet exhaust.
Now ... nobody's claiming that the picture is of the airplane in the report taking off ... but real, archival photos are available. Why use such an obvious fabrication?

Oh really?
I suppose you were there?
Oh, I know, you were in charge!
Or you promulgated the regs for such incidents.
Or your logic just happens to trump reality far and wide.
sooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo
IMPRESSIVE.

That particular incident was very telling.
There was many thousands and thousands of hours of flight experience on that plane.
And, as you say, electronic confirmation and recordings.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t no swamp gas.

Wrong. He was flying the F-86D version. It had no guns, only a belly pack with 24 folding-fin air to air unguided rockets. A pic for your troubles....

Consider the number of posts in this thread debating the veracity of simply a manmade jet aircraft, how it is deployed operationally and its armaments. Now compare those to the comments one is likely to encounter discussing veritable reports of UFO sightings.
IMHO, there is likely things to be learned from these encounters beyond our state of the art.

Oh, DEAR ME, cayuga; you mean, oh, my, REALLY . . . could you possibly have just documented . . .
is it really POSSIBLE????
I mean are you sure???
You'd better call a press conference . . . are you absolutely sure????
I mean . . . never since the dawn of dirt and time . . . never before has it happened!
Are you sure you weren't dreaming?
Maybe you had a hallucination?
Or maybe Obumma road in on some swamp gas and mangled your memory chips so that you just THOUGHT it was the case that . . .
I mean . . . I didn't know that God and His angels and the powers that be and all the ships at sea

That’s perceptive critical thinking.
Nothing tinfoil about that pondering.
Thanks.

There were and are still formal reporting procedures and regs that apply.
Commercial pilots typically ignore them to avoid the hassles, too.

Wow, a sensible, knowledgeable explanation.
Of course, hell will freeze over before a naysayer will admit such a sensible explanation as remotely possible.
But that’s another issue.

Come to think of it, Socialist Empires pronounce Lieutenant as “LEFTenant”. No coincidence, I’m sure.

The F-86D was an all-weather interceptor armed with a retractable box launcher of 24 air to air rockets; later on it added a pair of Sidewinders. It didn't look much like the picture; it had a large radome on the nose.
The rockets were aimed using a radar sight. A similar aircraft was the Northrop F-89 Scorpion; it had even more rockets, and, later on, a pair of Genie unguided nuclear missiles.
Unfortunately, these rockets weren't very accurate; they were intended for use against bomber boxes similar to what was deployed in WWII. CV sized or not, though, most, if not all, of those rockets would have missed!

In some contexts and political climates with some CO’s
career hindering stuff could get inserted in personnel files from such incidents.
Dreadful that was possible but happened more than a few times.

This thing had a different propulsion system. It was not an airplane.
I think 10,000 MPH velocity as it left may have been the first clue. ;') Thanks Stoat and Quix.

Check out the more than 3,000 cases which have left tangible evidence well researched.
It was one of the presentations of the AZTEC 2008 UFO SYMPOSIUM.
I’ve a thread about it on here somewhere.

So, youre one of those waiting for a UFO to land in your lap and castrate you before youll believe they exist?
Nope. I'm a believer. I was trying to refer to those who quickly dismiss these reports out of hand. Sorry... not enough coffee yet.

At this point in time . . . with so many increases in such goings on the last 12 months . . .
imho, the evidence is mounting rapidly that
the BS appears to be 95% collecting between the ears of the naysayers.
