> One of the things you don't get crazy answers for is classified, but fully human craft. If the craft involved in the Nimitz incident were human then I would be even more puzzled by their behavior because I think I have a pretty good idea of human motivations and behavior. If they're "alien" (by which I don't necessarily mean extraterrestrial, just unknown non-human entities) then at least I can fall back on the argument that I may not be able to understand their motivations and behavior. Also there are many obstacles to explaining them as secret US technology. For one thing a number of knowledgeable people have indicated that no the US military doesn't test secret technology on completely uninformed participants. That's just not the way it's done. Also if it was secret US technology why did they let it leak ? Surely they would have made sure that people like Fravor and Day signed NDA's. On the other hand if the leak was intentional (ie. to send some kind of message to adversaries) then why wait 13 years before making it public ? Basically it just doesn't add up. > That doesn't mean that we'll understand them to the n'th degree but it does put some bounds on how "cloud cuckoo land" they can be before it's just absurd. I think here you're vastly underestimating the potential weirdness of things we don't know about.
