Not glitch, not an radar problem. They are real just as the Tic Tac ones seen in the Nimitz encounter a years prior. Yes, one plane almost hit one of the things - a geometric cube with a sphere around it. A visual sighting. Pilots were spooked.

One of the Red Ripper F/A-18Fs.

The US Navy takes these incidents very seriously as do the pilots; we should also.

Multiple F/A-18 Pilots Disclose Recent UFOs Encounters, New Radar Tech Key In Detection
A major upgrade in fighter jet radar tech seems to have been key in detecting and tracking bizarre objects flying in military training airspace.
By Tyler Rogoway, May 27, 2019

Article includes visual tracking video via the Super Hornet's AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR targeting pod

Older radar - AN/APG-73 - was 1980s tech. Installed radar was AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array.

"This is a huge deal ... What is new is the level of detail offered and the fact that five pilots talked to The New York Times about this and two were on the record."

"The main revelation is that technology exists that is capable of performing flying maneuvers that shatter our perceptions of propulsion, flight controls, material science, and even physics. Let me underline this again for you, the Nimitz encounter with the Tic Tac proved that exotic technology that is widely thought of as the domain of science fiction actually exists. It is real. It isn't the result of altered perception, someone's lucid dream, a stray weather balloon, or swamp gas. Someone or something has crossed the technological Rubicon and has obtained what some would call the Holy Grail of aerospace engineering."

That article by Tyler Rogoway merits its own thread. If you don't have time to post it, let me know and I will do it for you.

Thx again for the good work, detective.;-)
