There were naked eye visuals from multiple pilots, targeting pod identifications, and radar from ships were also picking up whatever it was.
It is surprisingly convincing evidence of a peer state adversary with a huge tech advantage or... something else. I was moved from "no f'ing way do ufos exist", to "wtf.. it actually seems plausible" when reading up on it.
- soco 5y agoIt would be a truly novel approach for any state to develop such a huge tech advantage and neither leaking it during development nor using it to gain something in some of the many existing conflicts (cold or hot).
- bostonsre 5y agoYea, I would think if it was a peer state, they wouldn't risk compromising their technology just to get a closer look at a fleet of US ships that have lesser tech. The only thing I can think of for another state risking compromise is to prep the battlefield. Not really sure how deep the water is in these locations, but some nukes hiding underwater where US fleets navigate consistently could be useful if a conflict erupts. But even in that case, I can't think of a reason why they would do it during the day and not night and risk visual identification from pilots.
