I'm aware of how unlikely this sounds. But it's what I saw

Oh not at all, you’ve had years of conditioning to make you believe that what you’re seeing is “unlikely “ we all have but do not be ashamed to talk about it, it’s real alright.

Either that or dozens of pilots are all simultaneously sharing the same psychotic episode while flying jets full of passengers, which would be a lot more unlikely and be of great concern.

As Ive alluded to before on these forums there’s lots more could say about these objects but I’m unable to do so  publicly , and that’s not been my  decision or choice.  I strongly suspect these flying objects are rather good at close formation flying though…if I had to speculate……………….I’ll let you join the dots on that one.

When professional pilots such as yourself talk about what they are seeing it's rather harder for rational people to mock and dismiss what is being said by them. I think people like me prefer not to mention it until they see people like you mention it.

I have no idea what it was I saw that night or where they came from but my sense was that they came into the atmosphere from outside it and left it just as quick and it sure wasn't debris or meteorites. They moved with purpose and intelligence and at a speed one can't understand until one sees it. It left me in shock, if I'm honest.

I don't know if they came from a hanger in a desert somewhere and had a nations flag on them or whether they were something far more exotic but I will say this... Having seen it, I find it harder to believe that anyone here has the technology to produce anything that can do what I saw them do than I do believing what I saw came from somewhere else. I would have said the opposite until I saw it and that is something I have difficulty squaring in my mind.

Fact is though, I am clueless and I still feel foolish talking about it.

There are undoubtedly man made craft “from a hanger in the desert”  flying around with extreme performance that we the public are thus far unaware of, and maybe never will be.

These man made craft however still have to follow 2 basic laws , the known laws of physics, and however passively, the international laws of air traffic control. Stealth and covert surveillance aircraft do operate  in a foreign nation’s airspace without that nation’s knowledge or permission, however they still operate with due diligence with regard to civilian air traffic.

And then there are the other craft in our atmosphere, just as real….which do not observe  these  laws.

You and I both know what it was you saw, and I know what an utterly profound experience it would have had on you, it shatters your reality into a thousand pieces, and once you’ve seen it you can never un see it and go back to that reality.

This pretty much sums it up exactly. It made me reevaluate just about everything and everything really isn't a hyperbolic exaggeration.

Thank you for that.

In the movie Nope, some people in a small town reacted in various ways to what they thought was a curious alien spaceship.....

It.... wasn't a ship.
