Following the revelations that a series of bizarre encounters between Navy pilots and UFOs had occurred off the east coast of the United States from 2014 to early 2015, The War Zone set out in search of any possible explanation for at least some of these incidents that don't involve fantastic origins or extremely advanced technology. Over the last month, we have identified one possibility, in particular, that is worth mentioning. Instead of anti-gravitational propulsion or flying machines from space, this possibilityand that is all it is, a possibilityhas to do with specially designed radar reflector balloons and submarines, as well as a historical precedent for an obscure operational electronic intelligence gathering concept that first came to be during one of the hottest moments of the Cold War.
The description given of objects involved in numerous close UFO encounters with Navy pilots off America's eastern seaboard during the 2014-2015 timeframe is akin to a 'beachball' or orb with a cube suspended inside of it with the cube's corners touching or nearly touching its edges. This sounds amazingly bizarre and is more reminiscent of what we would expect from a sci-fi movie circa the 1980s than the classic flying saucer or even the large 'Tic Tac' that Navy pilots encountered back in 2004, but to me, it also sounded eerily familiar.
When I thought of round orbs with cubes inside them, balloons and radar reflector devices came immediately to mind. I began hashing out this possibility with my colleague Joseph Trevithick shortly after the reports came to light. The reality is that traditional high-altitude balloons and radar reflectors already go hand-in-hand.

And then dive from 30,000 feet to sea level and hover, in less than one second...Sure, why not???
It’s just a personal belief of mine that species specialization could allow for organisms to survive in conditions that we would not currently think would be survivable.
I don’t necessarily believe that conditions have to be as they are here in order for life to survive. Perhaps in order for earth life to survive, conditions would have to be the same, but for some other type of life form, who knows?
They got to Tyler.
Very true! But, as I said, going by what we know, how life works on Earth, the conditions have to be VERY special.
Can there be silicon based life? Maybe, but, as far as I know not being a chemist, silicon doesn’t form large chain molecules like carbon does. And the Universe seems to have a lot (comparatively speaking) of carbon molecules floating around. There are even nebulae that are nothing but alcohol, and, not the wood grain stuff.
So, I won’t be shocked if there is something out there, but, won’t be disappointed either.
Again, I think if we ARE being visited, going by the reports we get about it, they are a bunch of morons.
Are you familiar with the AN/APG-73 radar?
Except the problems (anomalous propagation, electronic glitches, operator confusion, teething problems) you mention have been examined and ruled out.
And if what you claim were all there was to it, why were the deck logs of the USS Princeton taken by parties unknown shortly after they were recorded and erased logs substituted?
Again I ask, what do you take issue with?
*ping*
Hey, it makes sense when the "journalist" is high.
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
Hey, that's what "going to the Moon" was all about! ;^)
Again I ask, what do you take issue with?
Tyler does not speak for any one - his opinions are his and his staff’s - many commentators take issue with some parts of some articles, and many talk about subjects off topic and about themselves and their knowledge and experiences, The DOD is not involved at all.
To set the record straight, I did not think of the word "mouthpiece" as a derogatory term. Tyler's sources are military, but I understand his opinions are his own.
That said, as much as Tyler speaks for himself, his sources have included retired and active members of the military including some sources that have given him direct access to what is going on in the DOD. It is my understanding that some within the DOD consider Tyler a reliable, if unauthorized, outlet for information. Considering the subject matter under discussion, the DOD might consider the use of an "unauthorized" outlet particularly valuable and it appears that Tyler is held in high regard by various sources within the DOD.
While Mellon and Elizondo do not speak "officially" for the DOD, if the DOD didn't want them speaking publicly about their experiences while employed by the DOD, they would NOT be doing so.
That, to my way of thinking, means that the DOD has given its "implicit" approval for the disclosure of some information on the subject under discussion.
