Nobody expected anything special when the squadron of Navy F/A-18 fighter jets headed out for routine aerial maneuvers off of the coast of Virginia Beach one day in 2013. The F/A-18s, a Naval workhorse, owned the local air space that day—but only until they didn’t.
All at once, the jets’ radar picked up a cluster of half a dozen objects flying along with them, moving erratically—and entirely acrobatically. At some moments they ripped along side-to-side at speeds exceeding 350 knots—or 402 mph. Then, suddenly, they would stand utterly still in winds that themselves were moving at 150 knots (172 mph)—gusts that had the jets struggling to maintain position. Then the objects would accelerate again. They had no visible exhaust, no discernible means of propulsion, and indeed looked nothing like any aircraft in the nation’s civilian or military arsenal.
Measuring five to 15 ft. across, they were a “dark gray or black cube inside a clear sphere,” former Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves, who was aloft that day, tells TIME. “We almost hit one of the objects; they came within 50 ft. of the lead aircraft, and that's really when we knew we were dealing with something a bit abnormal here. There's no aircraft in our inventory I'm aware of that has the ability to operate at very low speeds, or no speeds, and then accelerate and operate like a fighter.”
That wasn’t the last time the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)—the genteel, modern-day term for Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO)—harrassed the Navy. “We saw them in Virginia Beach between 2013 and 2015,” says Graves. “Later, when we executed training operations aboard the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt off the coast of Jacksonville, Fla., they were either already down there or they had followed us down, because we had over a dozen incidents...

I think I would be more surprised to find out that we are the only ones in the universe.
You never answer questions coherently. How about just one? The last one for example?
What do you believe? Or are you just a troll?
There’s proof but mj12/cia/certain military are not going to reveal it to the public.
What do you believe?
REALITY not things that don’t exist.
Look for pods in basement
1. There is an unidentified phenomenon interacting with the current
human population on Earth
Has anyone on this thread demonstrated a belief in things that do not exist?
That's what some people (including many scientists and military) are saying. Is it okay with you if people on this thread speculate about such things? Speculating, exploring, and chatting about such things does not constitute a "belief."
You keep creating straw men who "believe" so you can complain about them. If you are offended by the discussions on these threads, don't read them...no one is forcing you to read them.
One investigator that is outside the usual suspects—a life of analysis that has a little different angle on things—Michael Schratt:
Like the guy in the military said they had a UFO and a ET body...
Nets ensue
Better see a shrink you need it.
You need help see a shrink.
Yep. I’ve seen him on some podcasts. He was interviewed by Dolan last year IIRC. Interesting guy.
This guy was a Harvard professor shrink:

Now you’re resorting to ad hominem attacks. Do you know what that says about the person who engages in them?
It means when they can’t defend their position with logic, they get emotional—hence, the personal attacks. You can do better than that.
LOL. I wish I could see Mack for a session.
Your making yourself picayune go away.
He needs shrink his license is in question.
Go away? Sorry, but I’m the OP on this thread. I’m staying right here.;-)
