why is it always the navy pilots that always see the aliens, and not the commercial pilots. is it because navy pilots are more likely to be flying at some combination of high speed, bad weather conditions, or darkness that tends to make ordinary occurrences look more mysterious?
- detrites 3y agoBecause commercial pilots are in control of aircraft flying over densely populated areas, and often responsible for the lives of hundreds on board. A navy pilot typically just has the expensive aircraft and is somewhat expected to be crazy. So, if a commercial pilot does see such things, they'd be far less likely to report them, as it may well ruin their career. Navy pilots, on the other hand may well get some commendation for identifying an unusual, or anomalous thing (enemy tech?).
- haswell 3y agoThere have been reports from commercial pilots in the past few years as well. That aside, it could make logical sense that the military is seeing these more often for a few reasons: - The nature of their missions, flight speed, equipment, and flexibility to investigate further - If it’s a terrestrial adversary, it makes sense that they’d fuck with military - If it’s ET, it makes sense that they’d pay more attention to military jets than passenger jets if it’s some kind of recon

- ryanmercer 3y ago>and not the commercial pilots Because they don't want to lose their job when their employer thinks they're nuts and shouldn't be flying hundreds of people.
