Saturday, December 16, 2017, was an historic day in the annals of the U. S. government's 70 years of covering up the alien presence behind UFOs, also known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), with strict policies of denials and lies ordered in 1947 by President Harry S. Truman in the interest of national security.
This new crack in official U. S. government policies of lies and denials began on Saturday with The New York Times headline article: “Glowing Auras and 'Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U. F. O. Program” that contained two infrared videos of UFOs from the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).
The U. S. Department of Defense provided infrared videos from the gun camera of one of two U. S. Navy F/A-18F fighter jets focused on an unidentified aerial object, or UFO in 2004 near San Diego, California.
The transcript of the Navy fighter pilots comments is in this report. The infrared video was released by the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program to study the extraordinary technologies moving in Earth's skies seen by hundreds of military pilots. To skilled, professional military pilots, the UFO craft accelerate like nothing ever seen before and travel at astoundingly fast speeds — stop mid-air — do 90-degree-angled turns — brighten and dim — seem to expand in size and then disappear.
“The object's orientation and performance seem to defy
current principals of physics such as atmospheric resistance and normal
aerodynamic forces. During the orientation change, the UFO also
slows to a near stop, but does not change altitude.”
