In a major breakthrough in what could be the most fascinating story of our time, five U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet crewmen have recounted a number of incredibly strange encounters with unidentified flying objects off the East Coast of the United States. Two of the pilots went on the record. The surreal craft they encountered had performance that defies known propulsion and aerodynamic capabilities, and are described as looking like something akin to special effects you would have seen in a sci-fi movie circa the late 1980s. The pilots' accounts also point to a major sensor upgrade on their aircraft that made the presence of these craft even detectable at all.
What's even more important is that these events took place as recently as 2015, over a decade after the now famous Nimitz incident with the so-called 'Tic Tac' craft occurred. This is all coming to light—at least officially—just weeks after the U.S. Navy said it is changing its procedures for its service members reporting unexplained phenomenon in their operating environments.

Lt. Ryan Graves, an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot who has been in the Navy for a decade has come forward after talking to the Navy and Congress about the events he and his squadron mates witnessed between 2014 and 2015.

“These things would be out there all day... Keeping an aircraft in the air requires a significant amount of energy. With the speeds we observed, 12 hours in the air is 11 hours longer than we’d expect.” Source: NYTimes article.

According to Graves, Naval Aviators really began noticing the objects in their training areas after a major technological leap in air combat capability was fielded across much of the U.S. Navy's combat aircraft inventory [the AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array radar].

We examined this peculiar move by the Navy [the Navy's strange public announcement that they were changing the reporting procedures for these types of encounters] and the odd timing of it in great detail in my last article on the subject, and this series of events likely had something to do with it. Regardless, with all this in mind, what can we take away from these new on the record revelations?
First off, they are a huge deal. We are talking about two more Navy fighter pilots on the record and another three talking to The New York Times on background. And this was not some account that occurred a decade or more in the past, this was just a couple years ago. Yet what strikes me the most is that once again, this series of encounters occurred in tightly sanitized airspace over the ocean where the military does its most advanced and complex training and testing, just like the Nimitz's Tic Tac incident many years earlier on the west coast. In that case, the gear and personnel involved were also preparing for a major deployment.

No, by “we” I mean our civilization as a whole.
What's the fixation on aliens?
There is more art then science when that occurs. They feed off of anything and everything, unfortunately.
Keep it quiet or release data (not just a pic, video, and someone’s commentary) so that intelligent folks from across the various communities, can examine and debunk the nonsense.
I hear you, but without having something to validate the vid independently, it would be quite the daunting task and would probably lead to more speculation then answer.
Physics tells me that a hypersonic vehicle has limited maneuverability. So I don’t buy the stories that say these UFO’s are defying physics. Show me data and then we can talk.
Concur. Could you image the lateral G-force inside the vehicle when it goes from 7+ Mach to hover? Without some type of inertial dampening the pilot would die. IF possible to maneuver this way, the vehicle COULD be autonomous.
What I find surprising is that the US has not made advancements in gravity/anti-gravity research. We still cannot define how gravity is made and how a monopolar force can exist.
Actually, if you follow the various reporting from other articles posted about this, AND the response from a few posters on all the threads, there are several ‘suggestions’ that we ‘have to consider’ the off world explanation for this. After all, if its not us, and its not our enemies, who else could it be?
My ‘fixation’ as you put it, is not on aliens. It’s on the ridiculous notion that we must consider alien encounters as a plausible explanation.
Melania better shoot that tentacle before it’s too late ...
The person who can make gravity/anti-gravity a controllable force will be very rich indeed.
Yup. And it ain't gonna be me. So far, my experimentation with gravity always results in my finding out how hard my floor happens to be.
Why obviously, to prepare us for the upcoming reveal of our new alien ‘friends’ who will tell us how they’re so eager to help us cure cancer and eradicate poverty and all this other wonderful stuff, just as soon as we turn in all our scary weapons and embrace the socialist hive mind.
:P
(Is it just me or does Zuck look like an alien breeding experiment?)
Enjoy the veal. I'm here all week...
"We" sort of understand, theoretically, what the electric and magnetic forces are, and have gotten somewhere with manipulating them.
Gravitation is a different matter. We can describe it (inverse square law, general relativity), but don't (that I'm aware of) have a theoretical description of what causes it. Manipulating gravity (the way we manipulate electricity and magnetism) depends on better theoretical understanding of what gravitation "is".
Jeopardy response: What is "artfact", Alex?
Laws are made to be broken
Ok, I agree with you artifact has to be one of the fish bones in the investigation. :)
They’re not detectable on video. The F/A 18 sensor upgrade picks up a gravity wave disturbance in the atmosphere
When are we gonna shoot one down? That’s the only way to prove what they are!
God’s laws? Laws of nature?
Uh, breaking these laws is how Darwin’s get awarded....
It is us. We’re coming from a point in the future
I like your ‘nuke it from orbit...only way to be sure’ approach. LOL.
