Declassified documents revealing a United States military aircraft was previously struck by an unknown flying object is raising eyebrows as experts point to other unexplainable sightings suggesting otherworldly technology flying within the country’s airspace.
The incident occurred in January 2023, after an unidentified object collided with the left side of an F-16 Viper jet participating in training exercises near Gila Benda, Arizona, an Air Force spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital.

"According to military personnel I’ve personally met with, there were objects 200 miles off the East Coast that were extensively loitering and had no visible means of propulsion," James Fox, a director specializing in films about UFO activity, told Fox News Digital. "So a report from 2023 about an actual impact with a UAP doesn’t really surprise me."
The concerning collision comes as the Department of Defense reported 757 incidents involving UAPs from May 1, 2023, to June 1, 2024, according to an unclassified document released by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

Fox also cited officials’ use of updated technology to pinpoint the location and characteristics of UAPs possibly contributing to the influx in reports over recent years.
"They’ve adjusted the frequency on particular radars to pick up smaller objects that maybe have been here all along," Fox said, adding, "it’s a global phenomenon exhibiting the technology that’s just lightyears ahead from anything we have. Has there been a successful effort in reverse engineering? [If not], then it falls into the category that many would say is non-human intelligence."
...
"The primary reason for secrecy is that it’s difficult for any governing body to admit that there are structured craft of unknown origin whizzing around with impunity," Fox said. "They fly rings around our fastest jets, and [the government] doesn’t know who they are...

This is way out of my wheelhouse, but here’s the best I can figure out:
It wasn’t just software tweaks.
The AN/APG-79 AESA radar was a major hardware upgrade over older systems. It uses advanced tech that allows the radar beam to move instantly without any moving parts. It can also switch modes and adjust how it scans the sky—like changing channels, zooming in, or fine-tuning its focus—all in real time. That lets it spot smaller or faster objects that older radars would’ve missed.
Bottom line: both hardware and software improvements contributed to the increase in UAP detections after 2014.
As posted all software tweaks.
Changing frequencies beyond +/- a few % would be a hardware redesign. That is the nature of an array of multiple spaced elements. The individual elements are also designed for fairly narrow frequency operation.
I worked on that sort of stuff decades ago.
Most radar signal processing is “gated” to avoid various things, like objects moving too slow, birds, etc. Called target discrimination. Tuned for likely targets, IOW.
Urinalysts just make crap up when they have no idea what they are scribbling.
The information I shared didn’t come from analysts—it came directly from Navy pilots with hands-on experience using the upgraded radar systems, like Ryan Graves. They reported that after the AN/APG-79 was installed, they began detecting UAPs almost daily—objects that hadn’t appeared on older systems.
That speaks for itself.

You on the other hand...
Your dismissiveness is not a counterargument—it’s a form of intellectual dishonesty. It’s no different than an ad hominem: instead of addressing what was said, you try to discredit who said it (urinalysts).
As you posted:“This is way out of my wheelhouse,”
Someone displays a little earnest humility about a subject—admits that this is not their major in college—and you jump at the chance to take advantage of it.
You're a schoolyard bully. A coward waiting for some little kid to take a swing at him. And then you cry like the coward you are.
Show them that we are strong.
Ahhh. Good point. I usually don’t get involved in UFO discussions. No proof, so nobody is changing anyone’s mind. Better things to do.
