It's incredible that armchair experts can dismiss something as a glitch from corroborated observations from some of the best aerial operators of the most powerful and well funded military on earth.

Yes, glitches exist, but don't yet account for all cases. One can read the congressional reports that say the same.

I thought the whole point of this article is that those reports are uninteresting because so much information is withheld.

I’m also curious to know if there are reports similar to these coming from civilian or commercial pilots. I mean, it doesn’t take a too gun pilot to observe a tic tac shaped flying object but it seems to me that it’s all coming from the us military who share similar technology.

There is one other group of UAP sightings I’m aware of and it’s from civilians and it seems to come almost strictly from civilians in North America.

The tic-tacs in particular are observed around military areas which I presume has a civilian no-fly zone.

But yes, to be fair, there is a selection bias here in a sense.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

For all their powerfullness and funding, I expect something better than 240p imagery. Particularly when it happens all the time in one of the most heavily instrumented naval test ranges on earth.

But that’s just me.

What claim is being made? It's just a matter of taking these observations seriously.
