With all the buzz about the 'Tic-Tac'-shaped UFOs that came out recently, you should know that this type of UFO has been documented for decades, and in the original account of 'the Pascagoula Incident' (abduction), the craft was described at that time exactly like the 'Tic-Tac' is now, complete with the 'antenna' at each end turned back toward the center. The current accounts of this incident mention an 'oval' craft of bright blue color. These two descriptions are certainly not mutually exclusive but the original account was very specific and it was the first time that such a craft had been seen at such close range (as far as we know). Things drift with time - its called 'creep' and that's why we should always go to the most original source and not just believe what's being said about an older event 40 or 50 years later. Even the memories of the most honest and serious participants fade and change with time.

When looking at the reported performance characteristics of the Tic Tac objects, does anyone else draw parallels between them and the Foo Fighters encountered over Europe and the Pacific in WWII, or the objects that appeared over DC in 1952?

Taking mid 90s with a polaroid camera with several witnesses watching, myself included. Looked more like a spinning 55gal drum than a tic tac. Stayed in the same spot for several minutes, started to shift like it was going to level out and than just disappeared.

I can see the connection,  but I think the more recent examples are performing at speeds far in excess of the sightings during WWII.

what's that missile that goes so fast it glows? nike?

those aliens tic tacs suck. they need some glow.

I also remember when AR15 dot com was a GUN website.
in 20+ years look at where it is now.

Well the bomber formations were maybe only going 150 mph before they dropped their bombs.  And flying relatively straight lines.
And besides, we only have second or third hand accounts of the foo fighters.  
Somebody needs to run FOIA requests on crew debriefings from bomber missions and fighter escorts
Or were even the debriefers too scared of documenting these things?   (For fears themselves being branded as crazy)

Was the stigma of reporting such things even established yet?  Seems like that came about more in the 50s.  I think back then there was legitimate concern that they were enemy weapons and would be reported as such.  A FOIA would be real interesting, also a search of German records if they recorded such events.

If the foo fighters just buzzed through formations, or with what little we’ve heard just paced along them, I doubt not considered as enemy weapons but unknowns
And if Greers video has some truth to it, these unknown air vehicles were not altogether new, but observed for some time.
It’s possible some P-51s or Bf109s decided to take a shot at them.   If that’s the case did they do something to disable the planes?  Would they be able to?   Maybe mess with the alternators and cut power?

Some claim the Germans had an air mine (feuerball or something like that that had small pulse jets  on a rotating wings like the triebfluegel) and was supposed to detonate in the bomber formation - seems inefficient compared to even the primitive SAMs the nazis were making at the end). But I doubt that’s what the bomber crew saw
And there’s an alleged photo of one pacing along some jap lt bombers.

If these things were encounters on a couple percent of the missions, there ought to be some mass sighting reports.  
If they displayed flight capabilities far beyond any known aircraft allied or axis, how would the debriefers note those sightings and would they file them separately?  
And I wonder did the USAAF/USAF keep those post mission reports indefinitely or were they all burned at some point?  Even the microfiche?  Asking this because it seems like when people write books about unit histories or missions, unless I missed it, they don’t cite actual mission reports from archives, just personal diaries or interviews after the war.

This historical fact (sightings going back to WW2) - is what rules out the possibility that these are foreign or domestic secret military technology.

That leaves 3 possibilities:  

- inter dimensional travel

- time travel or

- beings from some other planet.

I can.  I need proof.  An actual alien vehicle would be nice.  Some clear video would be at least some evidence.  Deliberately degraded video is not even evidence.  I don't see anything that counts as proof that these are other worldly tech. None of the videos I've seen show any wild flight performance as claimed by the witnesses.  Even the Navy pilots said they saw evidence their radars were being jammed when the craft were disappearing and re-appearing somewhere else.  That points to real world testing of drones.  Notice that none of the aircraft that were sent to check out the tic-tacs were armed.  Somebody would be in a world of hurt if their new multi-billion dollar spy drone with next gen stealth tech got shot down.  Also, we've had the ability to create false radar images for a few decades.  Making a radar operator see things that aren't there isn't new.  Getting that into several drones that work together as a coordinated team is.

According to everything I've read about them over the years, we saw them, the Brits saw them, the Germans saw them, the Japanese saw them, and the Russians saw them. Everyone seemed to think that they were some secret weapon being used by another nation's military.

There was reporting done on these things, but as to the extent of that reporting, or how much data remains, I'm not sure. Some digging is required.

Foo Fighters were covered by the Robertson Panel in 1953, if I recall correctly.

I really think the foo fighters were something similar to St Elmo's fire.  You had several hundred 4 engine bombers creating a lot of static electricity at altitude.  Every incident of them that was reported was in large bomber formations.

Yes I have.  Say you have two drones that appear and disappear on radar at will. You only have to have one in stealth at a time to make it look like a single drone has jumped 3 miles in a split second.  Add in false radar signals and you can have a fleet of radar targets when only a few drones are in the air.  Again, none of the released tic-tac videos show anything that seems like capabilities beyond drones.  It works to the advantage of our military to claim they don't know what it is.  The media is using the hype to make money and people connected to government are using the secrecy to make money without even being in the loop (AATIP).  It cheap misdirection as far as the military is concerned.  How much effort and resources are the chicoms and russians putting into this?  I'll bet quite a bit.

I think it would be neat to know we're not alone and have another race that we could actually meet.  Some hope that there is next level tech that would enable us as a species can escape this system and survive somewhere else would be nice.  Even if it was created by another species.  There isn't any right now.

The evidence provided doesn't support what they say they saw or what they may have been ordered to say they saw.  There is no released evidence to back up their claims.  

There are a lot of claims of alien craft turning off certain aircraft systems such as radars, guns, missiles , engines, etc..  The pilots in the incidents on the east coast claimed their radars were being jammed and described how they knew they were being jammed.  Why would aliens jam a radar system they can easily avoid or turn off at will?  Because it's not aliens.  It's terrestrial tech.  

The only sticky point is that if the tech performs as everyone says it does we can't ever deploy it.  You can't risk it being shot down.  I wouldn't be shocked if the politicians even knew we had it.  If the muslims, chinese, or russians figure it out or get their hands on wreckage we could be screwed pretty quick unless we already have a way to defeat it.  I've read some claims of velocity over 13Kmph in atmosphere.  That's pretty much unstoppable.  If size is scalable can you imagine a supertanker hitting a city at that speed?  It sure beats an airliner per building.  Even if the govt has the tech we will never see it.  Misdirection becomes even more important.

We have not seen all the evidence.

Members of this forum who are acquainted with Fravor have stated that he is trustworthy and that Fravor's report is not of an isolated incident, as well as saying that the public videos don't really tell the whole story.

You're making unwarranted conclusions, including the "aliens wouldn't do X" argument.

Of course we haven't and we won't.  They release just enough to keep it ambiguous.

I didn't say Fravor wasn't trustworthy or that he was lying.  What he saw he couldn't identify.  What's dishonest about that?  If he was ordered to leave out details I don't see anything dishonest about that either.

How are they unwarranted?  Explain it to me.  The whole "we don't know how aliens think" bit.  Nobody does.  We only have mankind's thought process as a model.  Using tech that is so advanced as to be magic to us doesn't mean they don't think like we do.  If they have been studying us as long as some people claim they have what is the point?  The radar jamming indications point to man-made tech.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.  That we can't control airspace off of our own coast around a carrier battle group should be very concerning to the Navy.  The Navy doesn't seem too concerned.  I find that very, very odd and very telling at the same time

Not really.  Glowing object following or pacing aircraft are still reported all the time.

And WRT the radar jamming issue, that only indicates a thought process or intent if the jamming is intentional.  

It is at least possible that interference with the radar systems is coincidence.  How are these objects driven?  Could their power or propulsion interfere with radar?

I haven't heard of one pacing a plane in years but I don't keep up with this stuff like I did when I was younger.  Are they the same as the old foo fighters though?  Who knows.  

I've never heard of a UFO/UAP jamming aircraft radar like humans do until this tic-tac stuff appeared.  Everything reported in the past has shown reported UFOs have the ability to shut down sections of very integrated tracking, fire control and flight systems.  Jamming is new and limited to tic-tac so far.

About the "foo fighters", etc., I agree with your paragraph above; without good photos or film to compare, then vs. now, who knows?

Now, about radar: there have been numerous reported sightings where both civilian and military radar installations indicated no contact with sighted objects.  Does this mean the radar was being jammed, as opposed to the object just not returning the radar?  Again, I don't know.

Not showing up on radar and your radar being actively jammed are to different circumstances.  As I said before this is the first time I've heard of active jamming being used by a ufo.  That is what really pushed me to manmade object.  It's very different behavior that has never been seen before to my knowledge.  Why try to jam a system you have easily nullified or simply evaded in the past?  Given the reported speeds they don't even need to evade radar to avoid being shot down.  They can outrun anything we throw at them.  Jamming makes no sense at all unless it's a surveillance bird being tested against the varsity team.

I haven't watched the live chat with Chris Lehto and Mick West, but from the bits I've heard and read about, it appears that West convinced Lehto that the original 2004 Tic Tac DOES NOT suddenly dart off to the left.  I don't know their proposed explanation.

Jeremy Corbell just published his interview with Chad Underwood, the pilot who actually filmed the 2004 UFO and who has never been publicly interviewed before.  Underwood stated that he was viewing the tic tac on both his radar and FLIR, not to mention the Princeton and Hawkeye radars recording the encounter.  He stated, unequivocally, that the tic tac suddenly darted off to the left.  He said he initiated an aggressive left turn to re-acquire the tic tac and it was gone.  He also immediately radioed Princeton and the Hawkeye and both agreed the tic tac was gone.

New “Unidentifed” “UFOs in the News” on History channel right now.
Goes from 9-11:05pm Friday - but if you have Dish or other, it replays again at midnight.  So set you DVRs.
Some new stuff or details, at least to me.
So far mostly about the 2004 Nimitz strike group sighting, and the ones from the east coast.
