Pentagon officially released three encounters with an Unidentified Flying Object that have happened late last month.
This is not fake news. The unknown aircraft appeared to be small in size, approximately the size of a suitcase, and silver in color,” one report describing an incident from March 26, 2014, said. During that encounter one of the Navy F/A-18 jets “passed within 1000′ of the object, but was unable to positively determine the identity of the aircraft,” the report added, saying the US Navy pilot “attempted to regain visual contact with the aircraft, but was unable.”

The novel reports share an analysis, apparently, designating the mysterious aircraft in question as “Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS),” which the early reports from a November 2013 a Navy F/A-18 pilot “was able to visually acquire a small aircraft.point 232 |
The aircraft had an approximately 5 foot wingspan and was colored white with no other distinguishable features.point 95 | “Due to the small size, the aircraft was determined to be a UAS,” the report said.point 174 | 1
June 27, 2013, another report from an incident is said to have reported an encountere with an “aircraft was white in color and approximately the size and shape of a drone or missile,” according to the report.
But the reports say that even when the unidentified flying objects are assessed to be drones the military was unable to identify who was operating the drone, presenting a major safety and security challenge to the Navy jets training in the area which
“Post flight, the controlling agency contacted numerous local UAS operators, but none claimed knowledge of” the unidentified aircraft, the November report said.point 263 |
“I feel it may only be a matter of time before one of our F/A-18 aircraft has a mid-air collision with an unidentified UAS,” one of the authors of a report warned.point 144 | “In many ways” drones “pose a greater midair risk than manned aircraft.point 222 |
They are often less visually significant and less radar apparent than manned aircraft,” the report said.point 95 | 1
