You know that recent "pill shaped" craft that the F-18 pilot saw in the Pacific Ocean?
What I don't understand is why it seems NOBODY is asking about DIVING beneath where it was hovering. If you read the more detailed account of the encounter (not the NYT article), the pilot clearly describes that the craft was hoving above the water.
Why not dive straight down where it was hoving and see if there's something special down there? I mean, maybe it was hovering there for a reason?
- TallGuyShort 9y agoFrom the details I've read it was hovering at a very low altitude above the water. From normal cruising height down to right above the waves at visual range in a short period of time is probably a bit aggressive. As I've heard one former fighter pilot describe, the military has no interest in losing trained pilots and jets. If you really follow all the rules they have to keep you away from risky areas when it isn't necessary, there's a very low chance you'll ever encounter an enemy Mig, etc. So with that said, following procedure when encountering a UFO, a steep dive to very low altitude in close proximity to an unidentified phenomenon is probably not something many crewmen would immediately jump at.
- tgb 9y agoI think the suggestion was scuba diving, FYI.
- rubicon33 9y agoIt was indeed... Use a robot, for all I care... But dive down to the ocean floor!
- TallGuyShort 9y agoOh you mean dive down there now, after the fact? That makes more sense... Doesn't sound like it was there for very long at all.
- brian-armstrong 9y agoWhat makes you think that they didn't?
- valuearb 9y agoWhy would anyone want to dive under their test drone they briefly hovered in the ocean?
- King-Aaron 9y agoMaybe the insinuation is there's some kind of structure/feature on the ocean floor/etc that the 'UFO' was interested in before the jets showed up?
