If-If the objects are inter-dimensional then you very well would have an atmospheric disturbance if they are popping in and out of our dimension. As for playing around with the military, it appears they do, but from reading to other reports it would seem airline pilots and average people catch sight of these things from time to time as well. Most people or airliners are not going to give chase though like fighters from a carrier battle group or fighters scrambling over an Air Force base.
I have no clue what they are or what the US government is up too doing a 180. It would be interesting to see if the the Vatican or some other world power were to step forward and say something before the US.
All of this could be our craft, but we’ve kept it hidden for decades why disclose it now? If it were the Chicoms or Russians we sure as hell wouldn’t be saying a word in public about it but going to congress for more $$$ to counter their superiority.
I do agree with you the US government telling the truth is near impossible so what ever comes out from the government must be suspect.
It seems to me they'd still be UFO's if they, "Popped" into our dimension and were aerial/airborne/flying.
