It's the current nature of the US media unfortunately. It seems to be rife with pantomime and idiocy. Not saying it's unique in that, but it is the most accomplished :/

TT, are the other militaries of the world being watched by these objects?
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I see it as one of the few drawbacks to being the current global superpower. You're also absolutely correct about the US news media being rife with pantomime and idiocy. It's the modern day version of "panem et circensis".

I'm not sure, but if I was a military craft designer, I'd be sure to get plenty of practice.

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

(99.9% chance its not some secret warp speed technology from some skunk works company making a visit around known military flight paths\navy fleet location).
What is your evidence/reasoning for that statement?
As much as i'd love to think we as a species can learn\develop technology that is capable of doing things that have been witnessed, we're not.
Being in the aerospace industry has given me a new understanding about a lot of things, I can confidently say we're not there yet, far from it.

But..but..Hollywood has already demonstrated that any kind of alien visit or invasion would come to the US first! How dare you question that.

The term "necroposting" was invented by a person with no social memory beyond a year. People with a similar hangup are those o.k. with the internet being transient vapor.
The UFO we seeing maybe Nazi technology one or more of the Allies countries took from the Nazis after the war ended. Nazi technology help the Allies countries in many ways including the space program, jet fighters, nuclear missiles. So UFO can't be out of the question.

This will be my last visit to this thread due to the level of absurdity and stupidity reaching an unbearable level.

Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel. Romanian born Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, Holocaust survivor. 1928 - 2016.
Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C.S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963.
