As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Congress must reveal the truth to the American people
The Hill ^ | 2/5/2023 | Ryan Graves

As a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter pilot who witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) on a regular basis, let me be clear. The U.S. government, former presidents, members of Congress of both political parties and directors of national intelligence are trying to tell the American public the same uncomfortable truth I shared: Objects demonstrating extreme capabilities routinely fly over our military facilities and training ranges. We don’t know what they are, and we are unable to mitigate their presence.

*snip*

Mysteriously, no UAP reports have been confirmed to be foreign so far. However, just this past week, a Chinese surveillance balloon shut down air traffic across the United States. How are we supposed to make sense of hundreds of reports of UAP that violate restricted airspace uncontested and interfere with both civilian and military pilots?

Here is the hard truth. We don’t know. UAP are a national security problem, and we urgently need more data.

*snip*

Last May, the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee held the first UAP hearing in over 50 years. Intelligence officials testified that there were more than 400 reports of UAP, often tracked simultaneously by trained observers and multiple sensor systems, demonstrating technology that our military does not understand. Congress was briefed that incidents exist where there is sufficient data from pilots and sensors, but the case defies conventional explanation. The hearing marked a pivotal step forward to bring the topic of UAP out of the shadows and give it the urgent attention it deserves as a matter of national security.

Not an ‘expert’, but I’d venture to guess that the vast majority of pilots have never seen an alien spacecraft... Balloons??? Lots of ‘em.

Aliens do not exist.... Get used to it.

That being said... The first time that I saw stealth fighter jet, it looked alien to me... So there is that. Military testing happens.

Public might lose confidence in the military if they admit there are potential threats out there that they are helpless to address.

The Pentagon interest is presuming for whatever reason UFOs are hovering around/transiting over or gravitating to air force bases which seems a simple enough question. Are they more often seen and reported in sensitive or restricted airspace or just more likely to be spotted by military pilots ?

But weren’t they just ‘really’ balloons? Let’s call a spade and spade... There are lots and lots of balloons out there.

Chinese balloons?

Is that an opinion or do you base that on scientific inquiry?

But, actually, those who have been investigating this "phenomenon" (the scientific community has taken the lead now--see Garry Nolan, Stanford Medical School) agree with you. Something is here, but it doesn't appear to be space aliens from another planet or galaxy.

Just how would you know this to be true? Do you have a "hot line" to God?

As a former radar operator, do you think our Naval radar operators are in a position (and have the training) to differentiate between something they cannot identify and known aircraft and drones?

Would they know how to differentiate between system glitches and something actually detected?

I believe a civilization living beneath the surface is more plausible than extraterrestrial, but that’s just my theory.

They are seen all over the world as are the reports. It’s in news reports and reported by foreign militaries.

It’s not China, if they had that type of technology they’d already be at war with everyone.

Yep. Vy possibly.

Nothing has come to light yet that would be at odds with the Biblical narrative.

From what I have read, the classical extraterrestrial theory has gone out the window. Extradimensional...or even what you mention are under consideration.
