Speaking of UFOs.......remember a few decades ago there were very regular and frequent sightings of UFOs. Now that everyone has a camera in their pocket those sightings have all but disappeared. I guess the little green men are camera shy.

Simply proves that when Project Blue Book was wound up,(late '60s?) the workings still continued underground as many of us suspected.

FWIW - tonight dec 19- on fox news- tucker carlson - will have the pilot ( cmdr david frayor ) who ' made' - saw that video shown in NYT and a dozen other places.

That would be 8 pm EST in U S of A

Might be worth watching and listening- check your local stations- typically repeated 3 hours later.

Pilot of one of the F/A-18F Super Hornets in interview. From 1:15.

I once...'knew' :E a USAF major who worked at one of the USAF's less well-known offices near Sacramento. We kept up our friendship, then she was reassigned to the 'Foreign Technology Division' at Wright-Patt.

"You mean the people who take flying saucers apart?", I wrote to her.

But I never heard from her again.....:hmm:

Harry Enfield flew F-18's? blimey...

Possible explanation of why the UFO appears to be rotating. See links in the description.

I am a little curious about the lighter area around the IR image of the 'target'; anyone care to hazard a guess as to what it is? It looks like a really bad job of pasting an image in, but I think we can discount that given all the corroborating testimony. Is it possibly something that's normal for that system in that mode?

George K Lee 22nd Dec 2017 11:10

Foreign Technology Division analyzed Soviet stuff. They got it right now and again.

slfie 25th Dec 2017 10:32

Ok, so the blob in the middle of the screen - and its rotation - can be easily explained as a FLIR artifact in the HUD. What other evidence is there? Well, the audio track is very convincing - and it must be true because I heard it myself on the internet!

Surely no-one would be so mean as to take a video showing a bit of a glint and dub some made-up audio onto it...not just before Christmas, when there's plenty of people with time of their hands to make it go viral.

According to the Telegraph:-

>Luis Elizondo told the newspaper of the sightings, “In my opinion, if this was a court of law, we have reached the point of ‘beyond reasonable doubt.’”

That would be Luis Elizonzdo of tothestarsacademy.com; they do 'Electrogravitic Propulsion' and 'Beamed Energy Launch Systems' and 'Inspirational Storytelling' and ...

EricsLad 25th Dec 2017 15:50

It can't be 5th gen - it showed on radar.

TEEEJ 25th Dec 2017 20:35

I agree, Slfie.

Video of the to the stars academy presentation. See from 15:45. They are showing an image of a mylar party balloon taken in the UK during 2005 and claiming it is to do with the US Navy incident. Luis Elizonzdo is seated third from the left.

I agree that some of the things proposed by To The Stars are way outside of what I'm prepared to accept. That said, is difficult to dismiss what David Fravor has be saying given his service record and that he was commanding the squadron at the time.

This article has some additional information and explains that another scrambled aircraft took the video after David's encounter.

Some interesting quotes from the Boston Globe article:

“It was impressive. It was fast. It was maneuverable, and I’d really like to fly it,”

“What’s unique about [our encounter] is we physically interacted and chased it,” he said. “We literally engaged it.”
