UFOs Confront Soldiers During War, Says Ex-Air Force Intelligence Officer

The public rarely hears about interactions between military personnel and unexplained aircraft -- especially during wartime.
As time goes on, however, UFO stories stuck behind red tape begin to see the light of day. The Vietnam War saw its share of UFO activity in the 1960s.
One close encounter, in 1968, involved the crew of an American patrol boat that reported two glowing circular craft following them in the demilitarized zone that separated North and South Vietnam (see depiction below).
The crew aboard a second patrol boat later reported seeing the UFOs over the first boat and a flash of light, followed by an explosion that completely destroyed the boat. These Vietnam reports included close observation of the unknown aerial craft which appeared to house pilots (see recreation image at the top of this story).
Wartime UFO stories are recreated in the premiere episode of the second season of History's "Hangar 1: The UFO Files." The accounts are drawn from tens of thousands of UFO cases in the archives of the Mutual UFO Network, the world's largest UFO investigation group.
"The military was interested in [UFOs] because they had capabilities far above anything that we had, and they wanted to find out what the technology was and, frankly, who they belonged to," according to former Air Force intelligence officer, Capt. George Filer.
While in Vietnam, Filer -- who had a top secret clearance -- gave daily briefings to Gen. George S. Brown, deputy commander for air operations in Vietnam.

More lunacy to dumb down and expose Americans to crypto-occultism.

If I’m ever waging war, everything I order into the air to will be unidentified and stay unidentified.

Yes
Isn’t it curious that since the advent of the smart phone and everyone having a camera on their phone, these sightings have diminished to almost 100% - Things that make you go hhhhuuummmm.

15 months sitting behind a UPA-35 in RVN and I never saw anything that matches any of these stories. I was aware of a radar phenomenon called “ducting” where an object would seem to be closing on your site at a tremendous speed but it was much further away (hundreds of miles sometimes). The radar beam gets trapped in an inversion layer and behaves erratically.
