You mean those radar reflectors that suddenly decide to take off at a 90 degree angle at 7000 MPH?
The Navy needs to be shut down as the institution is an ocean of incompetence.
The tictacs can't be radar deflectors. Here's what the article had to say about the tictacs:
Obviously, this doesn't explain the Tic Tac encounter with Super Hornet pilots in any way, but they could be mutually exclusive events or were part of a coordinated event of some type to test multiple clandestine technologies against the very best air defense capabilities on the planet at the time.Not sure why Rogoway waited so long to come out with this story considering the History Channel series is underway and considering that some pilots and/or the Navy have briefed Congressional committees and the President.
This website is a defense blog which means it is a mouthpiece for those in the military and possibly some departments/branches of the DOD.
Radars receivers and tracking software operate by performing hypothesis testing on return signals. The set of hypotheses they accept do not include the kind of fantastic targets described. Real targets of interest are constrained by aerodynamics. Radars will not track meteors for this reason. Accounts of interaction between air traffic control (ATC) radar operators and SR-71's are manifestly apocryphal. ATC radar won't track targets moving at 4000 kt.
Pilots may be visually associating unrelated returns from airborne corner reflectors, radar artifacts (e.g., second time around returns) or migrating waterfowl, or any one of a thousand other things. Especially considering these are new radar sets, these reports provide very weak support for extraordinary claims.
My father was a veteran of WWII and the Korean War. He was an air traffic control tower operator during WWII and the Korean War at Kelly AFB. My father knew his aircraft and spoke of seeing UFO’s over the Gulf of Mexico while fishing. Jesse Marcel Jr. (Colonel) was a Freeper for years. His father was the first person who reached the Roswell crash sight. Jesse mentioned seeing the pieces of debris that his father brought home.
Believe what you want, but believing the government these days is big-time suspect.

They travel underwater at 70 mph too.
Yeah, that point is covered, but very obscurely and with quite a stretch to make that fact a plausible aspect of the submarine attack kit.
But Tyler says to get to the bottom of all of this UFO stuff, all the angles have to be covered and explored in detail. So that’s one detail which is not too convincing.
And then dive from 30,000 feet to sea level and hover, in less than one second...Sure, why not???
Hey, it makes sense when the "journalist" is high.
