Reports newly released by the Naval Safety Center reveal more information on the bizarre encounters U.S. Navy pilots have had with unidentified flying objects off the east coast of the United States. Eight hazard reports filed with the center's web-based reporting system were acquired under the Freedom of Information Act by The Drive and detail strange run-ins that include a near mid-air collision with a balloon-like object and a sighting of a suitcase-sized aircraft. In one 2014 encounter, the Navy jet reported even being able to lock onto the object with an air-to-air missile.

This is exactly right. You have hit the nail on the head.
Will a Mr. Twoflower please come to baggage claim?
Considering the danger to Navy jets and this being a restricted training area, I would think the Navy would check out ANY activity ASAP.
I thought that the use of LSD was a violation of the UCMJ...
“some reasonable evidence” found where?
“can be extrapolated” or in other words, speculated about.
“We also know about quantum radar” - we still trying to figure out quantum computing, but already have a quantum radar?
There are pulse detonation rocket engines, but no proof that they are in any plane, just the assumption, as is the contrail pictured - rocket or plane?
Most of this is pure speculation couched in other terms.
Limited Slip Diffs are violation of UCMJ?
The UCMJ must be enormous if it regulates things to that level!
Elon’s better batteries at work.
Remember he also owns spaceX.

“50 years” means 50 years beyond what we think possible now. Applies to all categories. And remember that it goes beyond just that to 50 years beyond what we can imagine. The first question they are positing is: imagine anything could be possible in 50 years, not if it is something commercially viable, but just possible. The second question is imagine the wildest things you could dream up, then imagine 50 years beyond that ...
Not companies. Companies have nothing to do with the concepts here - this goes into the realms of secret think tanks like the Institute for Advanced Study used to be back in the 40s and 50s.
Remember James Clerk Maxwell and Nicola Tesla - what if their works were picked up in various ‘black projects’ and expanded 40 years ago? Where would that leave us today? Maxwell, in particular, would put us beyond the current realm of imaginative hard SciFi; food for thought or the beginning of a budding interest in almost inconceivable mathematics ...
80 years of funding for ‘black projects’ is likely, according to some, to have produced a totally separate culture about which we peons have no clue - with only a few people crossing over like Johnson. Which would explain many otherwise mysterious comments made by those people.
Where is this ‘black’ culture you ask? There was a mention 10-15 years back that all the important stuff once housed at Area 51 was moved to an underground city somewhere in Utah.
Russia still operates several - the largest, I think, is in the Urals several hundred feet down, housing several thousand or more people with a direct underground train to Moscow. The US has several, I was told by an old now passed mil friend, as large as that or larger. Secrets are, by and large, only secrets from the populace - not from other countries.
Fusion research is a known-about future tech everyone is interested in achieving and using in one form or another.
Gotta love this stuff.
Sightings appear to be drones,logic ensues only thing missing are letters USAF.
Yeah, they were. . .I’d lock and slave the IR pod to the tgt and there was nothing there.
This is not “new” information. Aviators have always reported seeing somethings they can’t identify.
There is another, more likely explanation, one that has repeated scientific documentation in many similar incidents: real but not physical. That is, they are probably fallen angels--demons--who are visiting our realm. For details, please see Lights In the Sky & Little Green Men: A Rational Christian Look at UFOs and Extraterrestrials, by astrophysicist and longtime UFO analyst Dr. Hugh Ross.
What is peculiarly though is that these craft would be flying so close to our jets as to endanger their (the pilots') safety.
Everyone knows that Alien life forms are peaceful intergalactic travelers that do not have any ulterior motives. Their higher level of life forms and their society has evolved beyond barbaric human tendency to conquer and destroy lesser beings.
Think about it this way. A 30-06 can fire a round that is multiples the speed of sound.
I wouldn’t put it beyond our technology to have small near-super-sonic craft, or even super-sonic craft.
I think the Russians are way behind on their hypersonic tech — they are using nuclear. I think we have a better way, and that energy storage medium is trickling down to smaller craft.
Plus, the military never bothers with Pilot safety when it comes to the new stuff. I mean, they do, but they recruit a breed of folks who don’t mind living on the edge. Even fighter pilots fall in that category.
Fighter planes don’t glide very much at all, they fall like bricks basically. So you are betting each time out that the engines, or at least a engine, will stay online.
If anything we’ve learned from commercial aviation that is a big bet :)
I have never seen this particular scene on the TOS on H&I. I do like the ship and planet effects they have produced. Does not intrude on the story and the other cheesy effects remain. Like Melvin Belli’s evil spirit.
Then explain the Dracos!
The Chinese do. I've read articles about their work on it, and it's pretty d@mn amazing. I figure if they have it, we have improved it beyond what they have done.
There are pulse detonation rocket engines, but no proof that they are in any plane, just the assumption, as is the contrail pictured - rocket or plane?
Yes. Both. Either. That's one of the advantages. Just store some lox on board, and you've got a spacecraft.
I figure the Aurora can climb to orbit.
Most of this is pure speculation couched in other terms.
Some speculation is better informed than others.
I agree radar is easily spoofed.
IR, not so much. Depending on where the sun was relative to the ‘target.’ I understand the 9X has a REALLY good thermal discriminator.
Another poster wrote the AIM 9X got a lock, so .... i will go with ‘real’.
There are some incredible home made RC aircraft out there that could be the source of some contacts......
