There was one on HN last year where Navy pilots saw an object hover above the water then shoot up 10,000 feet in a matter of seconds, hover there, then come back down to the surface. It bounced up and down like that several times then shot off into space. One pilot said the bouncing seemed like a preparation for its eventual takeoff. It was confirmed by Navy radar.

There was a great interview last night on Tucker Carlson where the expert said there are basically two possibilities that the military should explore: one of our terrestrial enemies has an aviation capability more advanced than ours, or an extraterrestrial civilization has capabilities more advanced than us. Of course, there could be some sort of natural phenomenon we don't know about. In any event, it is worth investigating in a rational way.

hard to trust video these days, unless there is a chain of custody. How are we to know it's not someone testing their film director/CGI skills?

Did you even bother to click the link? There's like 2 minutes of prelude which lays out the chain of custody exactly.

This was released by the pentagon and covered by very large media outlet, the pilots were interviewed.

This doesn’t mean it’s aliens but this is pretty fucked up.

I wasn't aware it was released by the pentagon. I am under impression it was unauthorized release.

Not sure if the upper atmosphere has something similar to Fata Morgana, but at least in the lower atmosphere it can deceive the location of objects in the distance.
