The subject matter is iffy.

The source is fruity.

The pictures are grainy.

And yet.....not sure what to make of this.

A rational person would ask if these objects are UFOs that have travelled the unimaginable distance of a hundred light years or perhaps are they advanced stealthy drones perhaps even secretly designed and being tested by the US Air force or a hostile power.

Not sure if ‘amazing’ would be the first adjective I’d pick to describe these images.

Considering I can take videos at night with my iPhone that make me look like Martin Scorsese, grainy FLIR images don’t seem all that spectacular in comparison.

1) Alien spacecraft?
2) Chinese drones?
3) Doritos flung into the air by bored sailors?

In the age of digital manipulation, pictures and video no longer qualify as evidence - unfortunately.

The most credible person I know has sees a small formation of these with his own eyes. There were aprox 12 others with him who saw them as well. Happy to type the story out if anyone’s interested.

They just wanted to get a good look at the ship.

In other, related news, people are once again losing their minds over Mylar Batman balloon sightings.

*sigh*

Something about Jeremy Corbell just screams fraudster to me.

Maybe that’s on me, but I don’t trust the guy for some reason.

Looks like a USAF LOAV-11 variant possibly resurrected as a drone

It’s the stupid f’ing hipster haircut and something about his speech delivery. I can’t stand him either. Watch the Joe Rogan podcast with Bob Lazar.... Joe has a palpable dislike for Jeremy (who was there too) throughout it.

I agree, in the abstract. Video evidence alone simply isn't enough. Also, we have no idea if these videos are actually what was observed by that destroyer.

However, what we do know beyond any doubt is something(s) spent an hour or more buzzing this destroyer a couple hundred miles off the coast of Encinitas and that something was observed by a number of on-board sensor systems as well as visually observed by members of the crew.

We also know that the flight characteristics it exhibited represent a significant step-forward for drone/UAV technology.

TR stands for Tier, the rest is just a mix and match from other projects. No such plane.

I would tend to believe the second option.

Say you're running a black development operation. Maybe making some kind of stealthy recon drone or multipurpose recon/attack system. But this is very, very close-hold. You know politicians and their staffers might as well be a direct line to our adversaries. Regrettably even some personnel high up in the military chain of command have become more political animals than fighting men and women. So this is strictly "need to know" and no-one not directly involved needs to know. No one.

How do you test it? The contractor developing it claims it is of course the best thing since sliced bread. It is the be-all end-all of stealth tech. "No one can see this xyz high-zoot, velco-enabled, dolphin-friendly wedge..." You don't want to run big test campaigns. Aviation buffs and our adversaries watch for those, they are very public. But you want to put it through it's paces and verify that it can do what is claimed and that it can do it without getting caught doing it... So why not put it up against the best military tech out there - the US? Just make sure it is not doing anything overtly hostile that might get it shot-down / destroyed in case it does get detected. But make it an unannounced test. Good training for the military, valid test for the contractor's widget...

Of course not everything works quite as well as advertised on the first try. Some things might get detected due to unforeseen circumstances or plain old screw-ups. (defense contractors are human too) Deny you're doing anything - remember, no-one needs to know. Since these things literally are "unidentified" flying objects, lump reports into the files with the rest of the alien sightings and cattle mutilation crowd. Instant cover for your black program. Berate the contractor, come back with a dot rev, lather, rinse, repeat...
