This was one Navy pilot (Top Gun grad with impeccable credentials), whose story was backed up by his Weapons Systems Officer in the back seat of his F/A 18 and his wingman and her WSO and 2 ships (USS Nimitz and USS Princeton) officers and radarmen and videos which were leaked from the Pentagon to whistleblowers.

This was part of the testimony given to Congress under oath in classified and unclassified hearings by the same pilot.

There are many, many other accounts very similar to this.

It seems your mind is closed. You seem like a decent person (one of the good Freepers), but there's nothing I can do to open your mind and admit we just don't know.

At any rate, it was nice chatting with you. Hope you have a great weekend.

Doesn't it occur to you that all those officers might have been recruited to "leak" the story to "whistleblowers"?

It makes the story more plausible if it's "leaked" than if the Pentagon officially releases it.

It's called disinformation.
