The US military said they were looking out not for aliens, but for "unidentified aerial phenomena."
Blogger The Black Vault assures that he received recognition from the official spokesperson for the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, Joseph Gradisher. Allegedly, he confirmed that three videos of fighters chasing UFOs are genuine. And at the same time he said that they were not intended for the general public - they "leaked" somehow.
Some UFOs changed shape.
Others changed color.
Let me remind you that sensational videos were sold on the Internet in 2017 and 2018 under the codenames "FLIR1", "Gimbal" and "GoFast". The footage was a recording of images from fighter aircraft radars. And they demonstrated how the pilots captured strange objects with infrared sights. That is, they took aim.
Earlier - in May 2018, in an interview with The New York Times, Lt. Ryan Graves and Lt. Danny Accoin of the VFA-11 Red Rippers aviation unit are pilots of F / A fighter-bombers -18 Super Hornet - said that in the period from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, UFOs were observed several times, which rushed at hypersonic speeds, turned abruptly, then hovered, then soared to a height of more than 10 kilometers without any visible engines and jet jets. And they “patrolled” the neighborhood for at least 12 hours without a break. Which required a huge amount of energy.
According to the lieutenants, the "contacts" took place during training flights off the east coast of the United States - between Virginia and Florida. Fighters took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.
Pilots flew to UFO encounters from aircraft carriers.

Lieutenant Ryan Graves who testified.
The evidence of the military has gone, as they say, a jamb in the past two years - after the Pentagon admitted that from 2007 to 2012 spent 22 million dollars on the "Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program" (AATIP) - this was the name of a secret project in which the US military studied unidentified flying objects. That is, a UFO. The very three chase videos also appeared, the first of which was filmed back in 2004.
Graves and Ackcoin added intriguing details to the picture. It turns out that the pilots saw UFOs only on radar screens, and did not visually observe. Akcoin, for example, once caught a UFO in the sight, came close to a distance of 500 meters, but never saw the object. There was nothing where he should have been. The camera, fixed on the pilot's helmet, did not capture anything either. History repeated itself a few days later: there was a UFO on the radar, but it was not visually observed. As they say, point-blank was not visible.
At the end of 2014, the objects became visible - as if they "appeared". Graves was told this by his squadron mate. Returned from a flight over the Atlantic at Virginia Beach and reported worried that he "almost collided with one of these things."
Different videos show different UFOs.
The fighters then flew in tandem at a distance of about 30 meters from each other. A UFO swept between them. And according to the pilot, it looked "like a ball with a cube inside."
It is known from other evidence that some of the UFOs looked like an egg with a diameter of about 15 meters, the color was white. Others - resembled tops, seemed black. Neither one nor the other had any wings or other aerodynamic surfaces.
At first, the pilots thought that they came across some kind of advanced drones - drones, created, of course, by the military as part of some secret program. But after the dangerous rapprochement of such a "drone" with fighters, they abandoned this idea - they decided that hardly anyone would experience anything with such a risk for equipment and personnel.
So what were the pilots dealing with? Astrophysicist Leon Golub of Harvard (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) does not share the enthusiasts' opinion that the UFOs - specifically those that the military pilots encountered - are related to aliens. According to him, it is possible to find terrestrial explanations - from glitches in radars and other onboard equipment to some - so far unknown - atmospheric phenomena.
Interestingly, as eyewitness lieutenants emphasized, pilots began to notice UFOs on radars after the radars were significantly modernized in the 80s of the last century. What if the matter is really in technology, and not in mischievous aliens?
And the Pentagon never once remembered aliens with an unkind word. But interest in strange objects was demonstrated. Moreover, it turned out that the very same tracking program (AATIP), which was allegedly closed back in 2012, is actually continuing. Only now they are looking not for UFOs (UFOs) - unidentified flying objects, but for UAP - unidentified aerial phenomena. Or NAF. The US Department of Defense even circulated among the American military - especially the pilots - a special form that they must now fill out, every time they meet with these same NAF. They seem to be real indeed. But they are completely mysterious.
