The SA page on the MPCD is very small and cluttered. Is it possible that the pilots made a mistake?

According to one of the pilots, there is a longer, classified video of the incident that shows the SA page and has the distance listed there. People make mistakes, but data doesn’t. And according to these pilots and the former head of the DoD UAP program, the data shows that there are craft moving in our airspace with impunity.

    That’s why it’s important to look at all the reported cases to get a probabilistic measure. The 3 videos represent 2 cases that occurred. The DoD has over 300 unidentified cases currently. At least 18 exhibit flight characteristics that don’t seem possible.

  Wouldn't that be revealing classified info? Probably no punishment if the "classified info" is made up as a prank so he can freely claim it if it isn't real but would be risking punishment if it was.

    The sensors are classified but saying the sensors can see 6-8 nm's away is not because that would not be telling our adversaries anything - that technology has been available for decades. Giving away a capability that our adversaries don't know we have would be bad. For example, navy personnel have been saying that submarines go far faster than what the public knows they can (but obviously they cannot say exactly how fast subs go)

It's not an isolated incident. There has been many sightings and direct action (e.g. fighter jets sent to pursue) by members of US military as well as those in other countries. The Navy incident got the traction it did because the original footage leaked years ago and only now acknowledged. If you're interested, see here for a documentary on the Colares, Brazil UFO incident that occurred in 1977 https://youtu.be/Mr1NrnsdY5I https://youtu.be/Mr1NrnsdY5I
