During a briefing with reporters, Jon Kosloski, director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, admitted that the U.S. government is stumped by several “true anomalies.” According to Kosloski, “There are interesting [UFO] cases that I, with my physics and engineering background and time in the [intelligence community], I do not understand. And I don’t know anybody else who understands them either.”

      Depends on how unidentified it is. If I see something flying in the sky, but it looks about like what I’d expect something to look that could fly, I might not have it identified, but im not baffled by it.

      Now if I see what looks like a giant beach ball doing 10000 mph, ima be baffled.

    We don’t know anything and ask for information from everyone.

    No we won’t share any of our information with you back, get rekt.

    BTW the drones over NJ and the UK are not a threat. Also we don’t know what they are.

    At least some of them are our own highly classified projects.

    Compartmentalization is a thing.

      My understanding is the way some of these things hover and rapidly move in a direction is unlike anything we know when it comes to flight and propulsion, especially for their size.

        That’s assuming they actually move as described, and it’s not an illusion because the observer is also moving, or is trying to gauge speed or direction of an object against the sky, with no visual references. The human eye is pretty bad at that.

        So, I may or may not sound like a crazy person here but…

        I fully believe that something that has been called the ‘TR-3b’ is absolutely real, and is such a highly classified craft… though different people use different names.

        I’ve seen this thing multiple times, once hovering only a hundred feet or so over … whatever the exact building/hangar near the ‘Fly Away Cafe’ at Boeing Field in Seattle is.

        Large, equilateral triangular craft. Basically the size of that entire hangar, if you want to measure it on google maps or something.

        Has a thruster near each point of the triangle, and a larger … glowing something or other in the center.

        The theory is that it uses some kind of extremely advanced, exotic method to … not entirely negate gravity, but functionally reduce the weight and this felt inertia of the craft by about 90%.

        This enables it to hover and loiter for extremely long periods of time, and also make sudden accelerations… as, if this is theory is true… it functionally has a star trek style inertial dampener.

        This is of course an artist rendition, but it most accurately captures what I’ve seen (though every time I saw it, it was hovering level, the tilt here is so you can get a good grasp of what it looks like)

        Of course, if you look into this, take everything you read with an entire fistful of salt.

        Not only are there tons of cranks and wannabe ufologists adding in nonsense details, but it has been shown that the military will absolutely engane in intentional disinformation to keep things even more confused.
