Something of that nature would warrant classified patents, unless it was released as a deterrence, or some dem politician compromised it. Swalwell, maybe?
Refer to TheDrive/ WarZone articles for a fuller discussion of that. Deliberate disinformation to make China/Russia go on an expensive goose chase? Something totally legit and that is far enough along (there has been a demo to the patent office), is close to deployment status or is deployed — meant to intimidate the enemy? An explanation for the “tic-tacs” and other observed USOs without really saying so? Am explanation for Lockheeds statement that we have already visited other worlds (!!!???)
