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...

These supposed super advanced things from another world should have mastered interstellar/intergalactic flight by now or at least said "Screw it send a drone!''. Same as here on Earth: All brains(or what ever they have) and no common sense.
As for me I confess, I want the easy way out.
Puree.
If that guy on tv with the wild hair always talking about UFO's is right some of them outer space critters might have different way of ‘’breaking bread’’ shall we say. You know, going down the old gullet.
Yup. I'll go down as an Alien Slurpee’’.
“I am sure many people have worms.’’
Darn right.
Land Sakes you might not have any idea where some people have been.
You need multiple ways of preparing the meal in order to have a well rounded diet
I wonder if our new alien overlords will have a grading system for humans like super models get a prime grade all the way down to us mere mortals of average build
I gave up on this topic and started watching Flat Earth videos.
The people are very similar to the UFO disclosure crowd—they will convince the government they are correct any day now!
Lol.
“Viper” is what the pilots and crews call it ... because “Fighting Falcon” is lame.
I think it might be a Battlestar Galactica reference ...
But we could be looking at this all wrong.
We might not be food necessarily for these and take ''replenishment'' some other way and would use we humans much in the way we use pig suet and pig guts for various things other than food.
*Gulp*
We're alien WD40!
We need to pull in all those probes and space things we sent out there, ''probing'' other people planets 'n' stuff for all we know we could be trespassing or something out there.
“They’ve adjusted the frequency on particular radars to pick up smaller objects”
Bullshiite.
Liberal urinalysts just making crap up.
Around 2014–2015, the U.S. Navy began upgrading fighter jets like the F/A-18 Super Hornet with more advanced radar systems, especially the AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar. This upgrade is a key reason why pilots began detecting unusual objects—UAPs—on a regular basis.
It allowed pilots to see things that had likely been there all along, just hidden from previous sensor suites.
That said, just because UAP are detected doesn't mean they are extraterrestrial. At this point, they are still unidentified. But their presence in restricted or secured airspace has affected training missions.
Rear Admiral (Retired) Tim Gallaudet has testified before Congress about this, specifically recounting a secure email from Fleet Forces Command labeled “URGENT SAFETY OF FLIGHT ISSUE”, warning of multiple near-midair collisions with unidentified objects during naval exercises off the East Coast.
I was talking about the author assigning human traits to these alleged aliens...who would presumably be non-human by nature.
A feather on the wind doesn't loiter...but an albatross surely does.
The question isn't just "what was the drone doing there?" but "why was the F-16 there?"
I suspect it's tied to these high-altitude balloons that countries such as China have been circumnavigating the globe with. Even amateur groups have launched them. They can make multiple trips around the earth.
The "drones" are likely dropped as part of tests, including communications and even targeting.

I know- I hope they choke on me….
“Loitering” is a term applied to weaponry that remains in one place, either on the ground or in the air.
We assign human traits that can be observed in animals.
My comment was prompted by an idiot a few days ago who claimed that when people looked up and saw a UFO, they were merely seeing an image projected by their minds, kind of like an archtype, he did not use the word, that all humans are born with.
So I related to him an UFO I saw, and he said that I had seen something but did not know what I was seeing. I suppose he thinks he has the ability to understand what I saw, somehow, when he did not see it himself.
