Here's the part of the article that exposits the possible explanation:
[I]t is also curious that sightings of these objects would coincide with the first major deployment of the CEC/NIFC-CA architecture and the E-2D Hawkeye and then more would occur around the time of the Strike Group's work up to the first operational deployment of those systems. It is entirely possible that this was all just a coincidence, but it would be a particularly amazing one if that was the case, especially as it directly mirrors the situation and conditions in which the Tic Tac incident took place with the Nimitz CSG a decade earlier.We have to stress that all this doesn't definitively mean these objects belong to the United States Government or that their presence was directed or expected by the powers that be, but this revelation adds to the likelihood of those possibilities.
To think that this many intelligent, alert and highly trained men, combined with state of the art equipment, verified multiple times by multiple systems...were simply “mistaken”...is ludicrous on it’s face.
