A 60 Minutes segment in which Navy pilots describe encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena, ahead of a report due to Congress.

HN commenters point to it as eyewitness testimony and multi-radar evidence in UFO threads, though some dispute it.

> I wonder how much some of these unidentified phenomena might be checked for some similar effects. come on, man. at some point, after enough of these reports, toeing the line you're toeing starts to look ludicrous. these are trained observers, pilots who know what to expect in the sky. and do not take lightly that there is still a certain amount of embarrassment (a social cost) to even coming forward, so to even make this claim is still a brave act at this point. At least watch this 60 Minutes short piece about this phenomenon with interviews with real Navy pilots before you assert things like this: ▶ this video

It's an irrelevant example. The question in THIS case is not whether "the wings fell off before or after hitting the water, if at all", but whether "there was a plane hitting the water at all" (also a plane that was caught on multiple radars). It's simply not a good comparison. The Navy pilots say they see bogies on radar (not just visually) every day . Watch the "60 Minutes" broadcast I linked elsewhere (which is only 13 minutes long: ▶ this video ). The USG has already admitted these things are real but have an unknown source. To continue to maintain extreme skepticism at this point is to bury one's head in the sand.

It's clear from your comment that you haven't seen this shortish 60 Minutes piece yet. You should. It would fairly quickly dissuade you of this theory. ▶ this video

I suggest you familiarize yourself with some of that eyewitness testimony because everything you wrote simply does not apply: ▶ this video If you have more to say that you'd also want me to address, it better be directly relevant to the events described in this video.

This is the guy who headed up the AATIP (UAP) task force for the Pentagon. ▶ this video He lists some pretty amazing capabilities around 2:10.
