Perhaps in some cases.
In some of these cases, your theory requires multiple systems (multiple human eyes, IR cameras, radar) to experience corresponding simultaneous glitches - sometimes aboard multiple craft, some of which are surface ships!
One of the incidents was picked up on radar both by the missile cruiser USS Princeton and (faintly) by an EC-2 Hawkeye radar plane. Those radar planes don't pull high G's, and last I checked the USS Princeton sure the heck doesn't.

- ineedasername 7y agoSure, but given thousands uponn thousands of flight hours, multiple simultaneous issues can line up. It's the swiss cheese model of systems failures, a fascinating way of explaining complex failures. Basically it says that if you have the potential for lots of small failures, they may on occasion line up and cause something quite a bit bigger. It's certainly seems more plausible than a phenomenal that no other commercial pilots, plane spotters, or even military pilots flying slower aircraft have reported like this
- JohnBooty 7y agoIf these kind of incidents aren't optical illusions or equipment malfunctions (two very big if's!) then the next most likely explanation IMHO is that these are drones being used by foreign nations to probe our nation's defenses and/or send a message to us that they have some very advanced unmanned aircraft. If true (big "if!") that would explain why only military pilots have reported these things.
