That would not explain the accounts from the Navy pilots that made visual contact with some of these objects such as USS Nimitz and the 'Tic Tac' UAP. Also from the Forbes article you posted:
>It is unlikely the Pentagon would release videos of their own secret weapon in a bizarre double bluff. But other nations may have their own version. In the early 1990s the Russians claimed that they could produce glowing ‘plasmoids’ at high altitude using high-power microwave or laser beams; these were intended to disrupt the flight of ballistic missiles, an answer to the planned American ‘Star Wars’. Nothing came of the project, but the technology may have been refined for other applications in the subsequent decades.
And I would agree that the Navy wouldn't risk causing an indecent by surreptitiously testing secret technology on it's own ships, especially near areas with civilian air traffic.
Could it be a foreign nation deploying a similar technology? Also highly doubtful. This would require a foreign military to either regularly sail ships or fly into US waters or very close to it, emit these plasma lasers for extended periods of time and sail/fly out undetected. The laser induced plasma effects theory would have to account for this somehow to be viable.

Laser induced plasma can create three dimensional images which also appear on infrared camera, can create sound waves, and can reflect radar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QXw3ylCYT0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QXw3ylCYT0

The first pilot observed the object hovering approximately 50ft above the water, causing the water to churn below it. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/12/tic-tac-ufo-video-q-and-a-with-navy-pilot-chad-underwood.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/12/tic-tac-ufo-video-q-...
- clouddrover 5y agoIt doesn't say that. It says it was a submerged object that caused the water to churn: > To summarize Fravor’s eyewitness account to the New York Times, the pilot reported seeing a large submerged object that was causing the ocean to churn. Hovering about 50 feet above that churn, the 40-foot Tic Tac zipped erratically around the submerged object.
- aliasEli 5y agoI believe that David Frazor was the only one that made visual contact. Chad Underwood was relying on FLIR because he was too far away.
- hindsightbias 5y agoThere is no place without civilian traffic. If you fly from the east into the Bay Area you can look out the left window and see Groom Lake if you know what to look for. Look at any airspace map of the California coast and it is littered with test and training areas: https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/range-navy.htm https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/range-navy.... Not to mention a missiles launching from Vandenburg. It’s not even surreptitious. San Nicholas island is exactly right there: “island is currently controlled by the United States Navy and is used as a weapons testing and training facility,” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Nicolas_Island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Nicolas_Island
