I read all the linked Rogoway articles carefully and listened to the new Fraver interview. BTW, I thought I already knew everything about Fraver's experience but picked up a few new details.

As you said, the new Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar is a game changer. Perhaps these "objects/craft" were probably often nearby but previously undetected. But now they are something to be dealt with.

The Navy, the Pentagon, and the government is to be commended for disclosing this early on. That too is a game changer.

I will post selective quotes from the main article that capture the heart of it (much as you did in your comment above) and post Fair Use snippets of the linked articles as appropriate.

Back to the bottom line, it is hard to imagine/guess what these things are. Doubtful they are our craft (drones?) from another gov't branch because they are running the risk of collision with our aircraft in training exercises with a potential loss of very expensive equipment and lives.

Doubtful they are from other countries because of their VERY advanced operating capacity/nature. This would be doubly troubling because they are operating within our "restricted" training areas critical to our national security.

That leaves us with the question of not only what they are but whose they are.

At least this time, the American public is, for the most part, as fully informed about this matter as the government.

Ok, I will blow my cover. I am really an agent from the Board of Primitive Cultures and Alien Life Forms sent to earth ( We call it Planet Cray Cray 3)from the country of Jervik, on the planet Remulak 7.

I can see why, of all USG policies, “ hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” has been the very long time approach, Since Eisenhower, or before.
If ever this is seriously acknowledged as a nonhuman interaction, even regardless of assessing intent, it will become a game changer for humanity,

Maybe even a defense of the powers seeking global governance as a means of controlling the response.

Queue the nervous laughter, jokes, and ridicule..

The funny thing about Scully is that, despite the fact that she is a beautiful women, she is dull as dishwater.

Absolutely no imagination or sense of humor.

I tried so hard to find her sexually appealing but just failed at every attempt.;-)

No its not.There is a lot of experimental activity going on all the time, a lot of it classified. I suspect that these very infrequent 'encounters' are not the same thing but chance encounters with different activities. A hypersonic vehicle may show up on radar, but its not something a hornet driver is "almost going to hit". Two different things.

The military has been experimenting with mag rail canon for years and theae are capable of launching shells (which can be tracked on radar and IR) at hypersonic velocities. There has been drone development going on for over three decades now. These RPV's are diverse in design and flight characteristics.

So its not hard to imagine an explanation for any of this, especially since all that has been provided is a few video clips and MSM speculation. But queue up the Art Bell idiots and get ready for alien anal probe stories...

Gillian Anderson regularly shows up playing the lead in high brow movie versions of great literature as the female lead or feature. She is awful. I have never seen such a poor interpretation of Great Expectations' Miss Havisham as that one. She wasn't even wearing the one shoe! (I don't know if that's on her, or on the director).

She brought nothing to the central role of Lily in "House of Mirth". I just don't see great acting talent there.

Thanks, I look forward to those quotes. The original CIA "Estimate" came to the correct conclusion in the late 1940s, but it was rejected because of insufficient data; the more data that has been gathered (orders of magnitude by now) the more the original report's conclusion has been upheld. A sanitized version was put out, it said basically, nothing, and then branches of the DoD got involved at different times. That has been continual (not continuous) right up to the recent past, and probably is ongoing right now.

When has the American public ever been as informed as
the government?

or am I just missing the sarcasm?

It wasn't sarcasm, but I might have erred in my comment by using too broad a brush.

I should have said that at least the Navy is releasing information as they receive it (with some delay) instead of covering it up behind a cloak of secrecy.

That said, some branch of the government most likely knows a great deal more about this situation than the general public. But then again, who knows.

From listening to the interview with Cmdr David Fraver, it appears that, even though he was on the front line of this experience as a pilot, he has no idea what he saw.

I think I would prefer to believe that programs
within our government are so black that it doesn’t
even begin to register on the rest of it.

If it was a foreign government I would expect ours to
be more worried about it, likewise the alien angle.

Either of which would be a disastrous state of affairs.

I concur.

The thing that gnaws at me is the fact that the strange craft was dangerously close to our jets in a restricted training zone located within an area critical to our national security.

Is it conceivable that a blacker than black program in our government might do that? I guess anything is possible.

But there are clear, rational/logical reasons that those in charge of such a program would not do that. A collision with one of our jets and/or a misinterpretation as to its country of origin (being in restricted air space) could cause all kinds of unintended consequences.

All I am left with is questions. What was it? And who the hell did it belong to?

Additional information (I don't have time to read this yet)

Carrier Group In Recent UFO Encounters Had New Air Defense Tech Just Like Nimitz In 2004 Incident
These incidents came a decade after UFOs appeared near a carrier group conducting large scale drills with an earlier version of this same capability.
