UFO sighting: Navy pilot breaks silence after seeing physics-defying aircraft

Headlines were made across the globe in 2017 when US Navy radar footage of a mystery object with “glowing aura” and flying erratically was leaked to the public. Debate over UFOs reached fever pitch when the footage emerged of what some called an extraterrestrial craft. One particular instance details footage from a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, a twin-engined fighter, showing an unidentified aircraft surrounded by a glowing aura.

The object travelled at a high speed and rotated as it moved – the pilots onboard are captured as saying “there’s a whole fleet of them”.

US Officials said the video should not have been seen by the public, citing issues of national security.

However, many claimed it was proof that aliens had arrived on Earth, and to this day no one has offered a plausible explanation.

Now, the pilot who had the mysterious encounter has spoken out, reiterating the unusual behaviour of the craft which flew against strong wind while it was rotating.

Chad Underwood told New York Magazine’s Intelligencer: “You’re not going to see it with your own eyes until probably 10 miles, and then you’re not going to be able to visually track it until you’re probably inside of five miles, which is where [commanding officer, who first made visual confirmation of the UFO,] Dave Fravor said that he saw it.

“The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic it was behaving.

“It was just behaving in ways that aren’t physically normal. That’s what caught my eye. Because, aircraft, whether they’re manned or unmanned, still have to obey the laws of physics.”

Mr Underwood added that the UFO, nicknamed Tic Tac, was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Mr Elizondo said: “These aircraft – we’ll call them aircraft – are displaying characteristics that are not currently within the US inventory nor in any foreign inventory that we are aware of.

“Things that don’t have any obvious flight services, any obvious forms of propulsion, and manoeuvring in ways that include extreme manoeuvrability beyond, I would submit, the healthy G-forces of a human or anything biological.”
