Footage of bizarre metallic UFO shown by Pentagon officials at
historic hearing
Pentagon officials speaking at the first public hearing on UFOs
since the 1960s have shown previously classified footage of
an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP), a split-second video
of a metallic sphere zooming across the flight path of a military
jet.
The object, captured through the cockpit window of an FA-18
fighter jet in 2021, was also seen by the Navy pilot flying
the jet and picked up by the plane's sensors. But what exactly
it could be remains a mystery.

Pentagon releases video of UFO sighting captured by military
drone in Middle East
On Wednesday, the Pentagon released video of an unidentified
flying object — what appears to be a metallic sphere zipping
in and out of frame — captured by an American military drone
conducting surveillance in the Middle East. A Pentagon official
revealed to a Senate subcommittee that the U.S. government
is investigating more than 600 potential UFO sightings.

Ok, the reports - or ADMITTANCES - are rapidly increasing.
Spheres ? Sorry, no human tech here ... spheres are a BAD
SHAPE for atmospheric purposes, and these go supersonic
or better at the drop of a hat. The reports also say no
thermal exhaust. WE don't have anything that fits that
sort of profile, not even China.
So, it appears "They" ARE out there ... or at least their
machines (assuming "They" aren't machines already).
Fortunately they don't seem to DO anything - just watch,
and apparently have been for a very long time. WW-2
pilots called them "foo fighters". But no, the Roswell
"aliens" ... extreme doubts there. A quick look at the
"spaceship parts" reveals them to be metallized
polyethylene or 'mylar' film - exactly what they'd use
to build ultralight radar reflectors on balloons.
But what this MEANS is that we have no tech or cultural
reference by which to judge THESE sort of things. They
ARE apparently drawn to 'military' installations and
active combat - but that's ALL we know about them. Alien
version of The Nightly News ? What's the hook - "Watch the
latest as the monkey-people slaughter each other !" ???
