Far more intriguing – and deserving of the intense media scrutiny afforded China’s ill-fated balloon – are U.S. military encounters with mysterious flying objects exhibiting seemingly extraordinary technology.
Take, for example, the 2004 “Tic Tac” incident, which continues to perplex the U.S. government. Over the course of several days, a Navy warship’s state-of-the-art radar tracked mysterious targets descending from high altitudes at extreme velocities. Controllers ultimately directed two fighter jets to intercept one of the perplexing radar contacts.
Just above an area of roiling whitewater amid an otherwise calm sea, four naval aviators observed a strange object with no wings, control surfaces or means of propulsion maneuvering in jaw-dropping ways. The mysterious craft then darted off at extraordinary speeds shortly after a Top Gun-trained squadron commander chased it. The apparent physics- and aerodynamics-defying performance left the stunned aircrew believing that the object “was not from this world.”

This begs an obvious question: How does an object with no wings or apparent means of propulsion fly at tens of thousands of feet, let alone accelerate instantaneously to hypersonic velocities?

If, for the sake of argument, an adversarial foreign power developed and deployed technology rendering its surveillance platforms invisible in early 2014, the media’s lack of interest or investigative reporting amounts to a staggering journalistic failing.
Why, for example, have reporters not hammered successive Pentagon press secretaries with questions about the seemingly invisible objects encountered frequently by highly trained aircrews? Could this journalistic reticence be rooted in a lack of knowledge of the incidents? Perhaps the stigma and “giggle factor” long associated with UFOs are to blame. (Of course, if an adversarial power like China possessed “cloaking” technology, it would have no need to sail a giant, lumbering balloon over the United States.)
