The Navy Says Those UFO Videos Are Real
And
they were never meant to be released to the public.

But a Navy spokesperson says the clips show
“unexplained aerial phenomena,” which is not to say that they’re piloted by aliens.

While the videos are unclassified, the Navy
says they were never cleared for release.
The U.S. Navy has confirmed that three online videos
purportedly showing UFOs are genuine. The service says the videos, taken by
Navy pilots, show “unexplained aerial phenomena,” but also states that the
clips should have never been released to the public in the first place.
The three videos in question are titled
"FLIR1," "Gimbal," and "GoFast." They show two
separate encounters between Navy aircraft and UFOs.
One video was taken in 2015 off the East Coast by a
F/A-185F fighter jet using the aircraft's onboard Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced
Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) Pod. The other clip, also recorded
with a Super Hornet ATFLIR pod, was taken off the coast of California in 2004
by pilots flying from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. In the videos, air crews
loudly debate what the objects are and where they came from.
The videos were released for public viewing by The New
York Times and To The Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences, a UFO research
group from former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge.
In each case, the objects in the videos undertook aerial
maneuvers that aren't possible with current aviation technology. In the 2004
incident, according to The New York Times, the objects "appeared suddenly
at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000
feet and hovering. Then they either dropped out of radar range or shot straight
back up."
Joseph Gradisher, official spokesperson for the Deputy
Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, told The Black Vault, an
online repository of secret and otherwise classified documents, that the Navy
"designates the objects contained in these videos as unidentified aerial
phenomena."
That terminology is important. "Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena" provides "the basic descriptor for the
sightings/observations of unauthorized/unidentified aircraft/objects that have
been observed entering/operating in the airspace of various military-controlled
training ranges," Gradisher told The Black Vault.
In other words, the Pentagon says the aerial objects in
the videos are simply unidentified, and for now, unexplained. The Navy is
pointedly not saying the objects are flying saucers or otherwise controlled by
aliens.
Earlier this year, the Department of Defense told The
Black Vault that the videos were unclassified, but never cleared for public
release, and that there had been no review process within the Pentagon for
releasing them.
