Recent UFO Encounters With Navy Pilots Occurred Constantly Across Multiple Squadrons

One of the biggest questions surrounding the most recent known spate of UFO encounters with U.S. Navy pilots—those that occurred off the southeastern seaboard of the United States between 2014 and early 2015—pertains to how persistent they actually were. We know Super Hornet aircrews from Strike Fighter Squadron 11 (VFA-11), the Red Rippers, detected unknown objects multiple times on radar and one aircrew even had a close encounter visually with one of them, but what about the rest of the many Hornet squadrons based at Naval Air Station Oceana, not to mention the E-2 Hawkeye squadrons from nearby NAS Norfolk? We have the answer to this question and it is remarkable.

A source with knowledge of the events has made it clear to The War Zone that presence of the mysterious objects in the restricted training airspace off America's east coast was so pervasive that it was largely common knowledge among local flying units. They noted that the majority of the Super Hornet squadrons equipped with AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars—you can read all about this technology and how it was key in detecting these objects in our exclusive piece on the subject—at the time were having the same experiences, as well as the crews flying the new E-2D Hawkeye with its incredibly powerful AN/APY-9 radar suite. It literally became such a common and near everyday occurrence that Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers from the base would talk about it informally with regularity.

But that doesn't mean formal action wasn't taken. Beyond filing an official safety report after one of the jets almost hit one of the unidentified objects—described eerily as a translucent sphere with a cube structure suspended inside of it—Notices To Airman (NOTAMs) were posted regarding the dangers potentially posed by unknown aerial vehicles flying in the same military operating areas that aircraft from NAS Oceana frequented for training. This action was taken by the base's command leadership as they couldn't figure out how else to address the bizarre issue and its perceived threat to their aircrews' safety.

We have since filed Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests for copies of these NOTAMs, as well as documents regarding how the decision to file the NOTAMs was made at the command level.

The good news: no hostile intent has been apparent.

Last night pictures of two were captured by many over Kansas City. In fact a meteorologist even told people to go out and get images.

My guess, is more are arriving every day and you will soon see them with regularity. Apparently there is some type of space alien event coming and there are headed this way ?

“There has been a tremendous increase in talk of UFOs. There has to be a reason.”

It’s the same reason more and more people think socialism is good, and that eunuch males should compete with women, and that we, as a nation, are obligated to take in anybody from anywhere.

Ping me if you find pics, please. I must admit, I don't believe in outer space aliens, but angels and demons, sure. (oh that might get a response from someone...)

Even extraterrestrials can see that the Wall will be built and are thus getting in now while it’s still open! :)

We are a tourist destination.

The UFOs are just space alien tourist rentals.

I was stationed at an Air Force test range in the late 1970s and the civilian guards there would NEVER talk about what they’d seen because they were told it would be the end of their career. I was able to squeak a few stories out of them, but the Air Force never reimbursed me for the drinks used.

I'm binge rewatching "V," and if the aliens
are anything like Hanna, Morena Baccarin,
then I am so doomed.
