The strange objects, one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind, appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, high in the skies over the East Coast. Navy pilots reported to their superiors that the objects had no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes, but that they could reach 30,000 feet and hypersonic speeds.
“These things would be out there all day,” said Lt. Ryan Graves, an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot who has been with the Navy for 10 years, and who reported his sightings to the Pentagon and Congress. “Keeping an aircraft in the air requires a significant amount of energy. With the speeds we observed, 12 hours in the air is 11 hours longer than we’d expect.”
In late 2014, a Super Hornet pilot had a near collision with one of the objects, and an official mishap report was filed. Some of the incidents were videotaped, including one taken by a plane’s camera in early 2015 that shows an object zooming over the ocean waves as pilots question what they are watching.
“Wow, what is that, man?” one exclaims. “Look at it fly!”

“Basic rule of thumb says that if it’s in the NYT it’s fake. Too bad. Actual UFOs would have been interesting”.
So you’re saying that those pilots and what they saw are fake?
Once Lucy is entered there becomes a forgotten football and there is no supper bowl
What’s your point?
You’re saying the pilots made it all up?
Just curious, what is the fake part? Are the names of these pilots fake? Are their comments fake? Is the video/audio from cameras on the aircraft fake?
“Thermal inversion layer”.
At 30,000 feet?
No... I'm saying that the nyslimes may have made up the pilots...

You’re full of it. Not everything is fake news. Besides, that story was reported widely.
No point. Sarcasm maybe.
I was in the Joint Data System Support Center, BE685.
Nobody discusses the 7th level!
Yep, down there one had best be a tunnel rat
So many open lines
Lol. Sorry, I thought you were serious.
I get that all the time. My sarcasm almost got me killed once. Almost got me fired. It’s dangerous, and very difficult to master. Has anyone ever?
Discuss or not Discuss. Mind if I just cuss ??? I have my reasons !!!
Thanks for your service.
I hope those objects are ours and the Russians and Chinese and others are intimidated by them.
Obviously, they are just Foo Fighters. You know, the rock band.
Now ya went and done it, Theres a surprisingly large group that hangs around here that believes and insists that the truth of those objects is quite the opposite. Enjoy the thread while its here because if they show up this thread is going to get zotted.
Swamp gas. Maybe the planet Venus? /s
