Navy UAP Pilot Sightings

ITT:Multiple fighter pilots (whose sole job is to understand aerial objects by eye and sensors), radar, camera and infrared have seen these.“It’s a glitch, lens flare and/or the pilots are stupid, but me a programmer is an expert in this.”

Watch the recreation, it buzzed more than one aircraft:https://youtu.be/PRgoisHRmUERadar Contact + FLIR Contact (videos) + Human Eyeball confirmation by two types aircraft + multiple eyewitness testimony != a technical anomaly nor a hallucination

Weren't there only four witnesses? The pilots were the only ones who saw anything with their own eyes. And there's been no release of sensor data or video, so it's hard to judge its quality. (The 'FLIR1' video was taken later, by different pilots who did not see their object visually, and simply shows a distant hot object slowly moving left, with no inexplicable manoeuvers.) That the ship radar was purportedly bouncing between maximum altitude and reasonable altitude sug

It's not just blurry photos. There are also military pilot sightings corroborated with radar and FLIR, and the vehicles move in ways not possible with currently available human technology and science.

The pilots claim they physically saw it too. And the pilot who made the video was the 2nd group up from the first who claimed they saw it from their cockpits.And the FLIR was tracking the target moving. If it was a piece of dust stuck on, it would have looked as if it were moving the same speed of the aircraft, wouldn't it?

From the video and analysis, we can see the footage is consistent with a man-made aircraft such as an airplane or drone. So these seem likeliest.Unfortunately we don't have any public radar data to evaluate - only hearsay which is very often unreliable.

I've seen those videos. The objects were at 80,000 ft traveling at Sonic speeds as recorded by jets flying in the vicinity. The object also took a sudden left so fast that our radars could not lock in the position. All to say that it is ok to entertain that these are not identified by human technology and they may not be our drones.

Reports may be credible, but the reporting on that reporting less so. The way I understand it, some people saw some thing, FLIR saw some thing, a ship radar is claimed to have seen some things, but there's little to actually connect these observations as being the same thing.My current best theory is that pilots were seeing a reflection on the surface of water and got confused because FLIR had a possibly unrelated and buggy interaction between an internal reflection in optics and
