Military jet's mysterious collision raises questions about advanced UFOs in US airspace: 'Been here all along'

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."

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.

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...

Isn't this what drones did over New Jersey (and NY, PA, CT) in November and December 2024?

They loitered and did so with impunity. How is such a description anthropomorphic?

They're one and the same. Viper is merely the nickname given to the aircraft by those who fly it and maintain it.....

So you can finish reading the article now.

If they’re that advanced why did they run into fighter jet and vice versa.

Do any other countries report these events as often as we do?
