Doubts cast over recent US Navy "Triangle" UFO video - almost certainly out-of-focus aircraft

The US Navy recently released some video footage taken with night vision goggles from one of their vessels showing "triangle" or "pyramid" shaped UFO's fling over one of their vessels, as reported here.

 

UFO Sightings Weekly did make note of the fact that the "UFO" seemed to have an aircraft strobe light, something alien visitors surely wouldn't mimic?

Anyway, Mick West has posted an excellent video on YouTube which pretty much puts paid to the UFO theory. He proposes that all we are seeing here is an aircraft or drone with an out-of-focus night vision set, with the triangle shaped caused by a triangle shaped aperture iris. Very convincing - case closed.

 

Images leaked from Pentagon investigation show UFOs swarm above US Navy destroyer

Amazing images have been leaked from a secretive Pentagon investigation of UFOs.

The Task Force has been gathering evidence for a comprehensive report for Congress which is due in June that includes photographs and videos of UFO encounters with U.S. military assets, including Navy destroyers off the southern California coast.

Part of the report is to educate other military and intelligence officials about the nature of the UFO mystery.

The new images were gathered by the Task Force and obtained by investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, who confirmed their authenticity.

One remarkable video was recorded in July 2019 by Naval officers using a night vision device, showing what appear to be pyramid shaped objects hovering 700 feet above a Navy destroyer. The object seems to have a strobe light, similar to an aircrafts. Perhaps a drone after all?

This (video) was taken on deployment from the USS Russell,” Corbell said. “It shows what they described as vehicles. And they made a great distinction. They made sure in this classified briefing, they made a great distinction that this is not something that we own either a black project, this is not something of a foreign military, that these were behaving in ways that we did not expect. And that they were you know shaped non aerodynamically. Like pyramids, these are flying pyramids!”

The video is one of several forms of visual evidence gathered by the UAP Task Force to document bizarre encounters reported by the U.S. Navy during the past two years, including photos of three stationary drones of unknown origin.

New photos of Unidentified Aeiral Objects taken by US Navy F-18 pilots made available

Military and intelligence officials say they remain baffled by unusual, unidentified aircraft that have been encountered in recent years off both coasts of the United States. Many of the objects have been referred to as drones, but that is not what Pentagon investigators have been telling the chain of command behind the scenes.

Naval Air Station Oceana is the center of airpower on the east coast of the United States. It is a sprawling naval air station in Virginia, home to the best aviators in the world. Since at least 2014, F-18 pilots flying into the zone designated W-72 have reported encounters with a bizarre array of unknown, unidentified objects and aircraft, positioned directly in their daily flight paths.

Investigators with the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force have requested that airmen try to document their encounters. On March 4th, 2019, one of them did.

An F-18 weapons systems officer (WSO) seated behind the pilot used his iPhone to capture images of three different objects he encountered in the same airspace.

At 3:02 p.m. he photographed an odd shaped object. Another photo, taken close to the same time, was first posted to twitter on May 11, 2020, then again on social media 6 months later.

Other photos taken on the same day; March 4th, 2019 have never been made public until now.

The object the Navy calls the “Sphere” was photographed at 2:44 p.m. 

The second one to be photographed was dubbed the “Acorn.” A similar, but different photograph of this same object was published online in December 2020.

Then, 12 minutes later, the WSO spotted a third object,  described as the “Metallic Blimp.” It appears to have various appendages. 

 

Speculation at the time was that the objects might be foreign spy drones, possibly Chinese. Critics tried to explain away the objects. Several people online compared the Acorn to a toy Batman balloon. But two years later, after careful study by the UAP Task Force, the objects remain unidentified.
