Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program

The program collected video and audio recordings of reported U.F.O. incidents, including footage from a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet showing an aircraft surrounded by some kind of glowing aura traveling at high speed and rotating as it moves. The Navy pilots can be heard trying to understand what they are seeing. “There’s a whole fleet of them,” one exclaims. Defense officials declined to release the location and date of the incident.

That’s pretty interesting, but it doesn’t necessarily sound like UFOs in the alien sense. Presumably research is being done into using plasma to cloak from radar, and this sounds quite a lot like what I’d expect from that.

Probably not a novel thought, but what if appearing in the sky over, say, a 100 year period beginning with the discovery of nuclear technology (or earlier) is a way of ‘warming up’ contact races so we don’t die of shock when they land?

It wouldn’t be unreasonable. Any advanced race wouldn’t need to observe at close distance, and wouldn’t need to be detectable.

They may just wamt to sow a little ‘openness to big ideas’ into us. Look at the amount of alien literature and scifi movies there are? I guess it’s working.
