Objects that can maintain Mach 1 speeds even in the face of gale-force winds. Aircraft with no visible means of lift or propulsion, and no wings or engines. Phenomena that seem to operate outside of the “known aerodynamic principles that we expect for objects that fly in our atmosphere.” Those are some of the descriptions that former U.S. military personnel used when recounting their personal encounters with UFOs at a House hearing.
Objects that can maintain Mach 1 speeds even in the face of gale-force winds. Aircraft with no visible means of lift or propulsion, and no wings or engines. Phenomena that seem to operate outside of the “known aerodynamic principles that we expect for objects that fly in our atmosphere.”
“The UAP could accelerate at speeds up to Mach 1, hold their position against hurricane-force winds, and outlast our fighter jets, operating continuously throughout the day,” he said at Wednesday’s hearing. “They did not have any visible means of lift, control surfaces or propulsion — nothing that resembled normal aircraft with wings, flaps or engines.”If the unknown objects “are foreign drones, it is an urgent national security problem,” Mr. Graves told lawmakers.
“The tic tac object that we engaged in November 2004 was far superior to anything that we had at the time, have today, or are looking to develop in the next 10 years,” he said. “If we in fact have programs that possess this technology, it needs to have oversight from those people that the citizens of this great country elected to office to represent what is best for the United States and in the best interest of its citizens.
Their experiences are just a handful of the hundreds of officially documented encounters with UFOs and federal programs to study them.
