"Have we been ignored? For God sakes, we've been shut up and silenced," Jacobs said. "We've been ridiculed; we've had our lives disrupted. This is more than just being ignored. We've been treated like imbeciles."
I can identify with this, I have my own Air Force/UFO encounter story that was very similar to time/details of Lt. Salas story. I've shared it a few times here on FR and other places but no one's ever seemed particularly impressed or interested so from this point on, screw it, I'll just take it to my grave.
I don’t think I’ve seen your account. I’m a long time amateur astronomer, I would LOVE to see a UFO. In all the years looking up at the sky, I never have. To be able to see one up close in a telescope or pair of binoculars and write down or even sketch a picture of one would be amazing.
Even my own dad looked at me like I was crazy when I eventually told him I saw something “unidentified” so it’s not unusual for people to have very closed minds on the subject. But there were probably 50-100 people that night that saw what I saw, in fact I would have probably never noticed it except for the dozens of cars that were pulled over, on a long bridge no less, to get a better look out over the water at it.
I would call it more of an arial demonstration, as I can’t imagine what the purpose was other than to attract attention. Possibly performed by something man made, but the maneuvers were incredible, had no sound, and they lasted a very long time, at least 20 minutes even after I started watching. It made the local paper and I have the article here somewhere. Unidentified is still the best way to explain it, at this point, and I don’t think it can be easily identified, either. But it definitely happened.
I’m quite interested and I know others who are. Can you give me links to some of your posts on this matter?

I’ve flown all over from San Diego to White Sands for decades.
Plus Israel and the med.
There are unidentifiable aircraft out and about. With technology I don’t know about, and I pretty much know (about) everything but the real secret squirrel stuff.
Before you had your encounter you probably had doubts about people who said they saw these things. That’s how all of us feel..
The one I saw near the Canadian border - in the north country region - was so low if there had been three or four telephone poles stacked on top of each other it would have hit the top one. No sound. And no wind (air movement) from the thing. Two in the afternoon with my three kids in the truck with me. Over forty years ago - nothing scary at the time, a bright sunny day and the moment is stuck - etched in memory.
