No... it’s aliens from the planet Zircon! It’s not an anomaly, nor is there any way it’s some spoofing system being tested by Skunkworks against ships and planes.
The DOD is always very careful to notify all ships, pilots and sailors when they are going to test a harmless classified system against them to get a real world test.
No, it’s a flying tic-tac.
Maybe, maybe not. Is there actual evidence it was Lockheed and not China or Russia, or is that just speculation?
Ret. Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet testified before Congress that no U.S. contractor would risk getting that close to Navy ships—it’s too dangerous, especially since these things have disrupted missions.
If Lockheed was flying something like that near the USS Jackson, they’d be violating DoD deconfliction policies, which prohibit testing experimental craft near active vessels or training zones without proper clearance, coordination, and advance notice to everyone involved.
Lockheed isn’t “flying” anything. And yes, all kinds of systems and tactics are tested against unwitting military units everyday. There is a decades long track record of that.
And nothing flew near the ship. An image appeared on an IR sensor. Think about it...
That Admiral is a UFO fan, and he’s out of his league.
As I said, what evidence do you have that it was Lockheed and not China or Russia?
That's not true. Gallaudet has appeared on "UFO" podcasts to speak on the subject of unidentified tictacs because, as an admiral, he is familiar with them as a flight safety risk.
And how is he out of his league? Which league is he out of?
There are many good skeptics and debunkers around—Mick West, for example. But at least they are intellectually honest.
Your comments above are not.
Sure they are. I hate to spoon feed it to you, and I think it’s best not to explore it that much. But think Pokeman Go.
Your phone tells you that Pikachu is on your parking lot.
You run out and hold up your phone (a sensor), and sure enough, there he is, standing beside that convertible. You see him on the screen.
Someone, somewhere, pushed a button and made him appear on your screen. In the game, it would be for fun. For Skunkworks, it would be kinda nice be able to make several F-35’s appear on the screen of a Chinese ship and have them chasing ghosts while the real platform got through.
It’s stealth 3.0.
There's nothing wrong with speculation, but it doesn't carry the weight of evidence.
It might very well Lockheed or some other contractor. But without evidence, it just as well might be China.
