'Fleet of UFOs' Followed US Aircraft, Navy Pilot Says | Space
Between 2014 and 2015, seasoned pilots in the U.S. Navy experienced a number of harrowing encounters with UFOs during training missions in the U.S. While pilots were mid-flight, their aircraft cameras and radar detected seemingly impossible objects flying at hypersonic speeds at altitudes up to 30,00 feet (9,144 meters); these mysterious UFOs did so with no visible means of propulsion, The New York Times reported on May 26.

Two of the pilots who spoke with The Times about the inexplicable sightings share their stories in the new History Channel documentary series " Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation ," premiering May 31.
UFO Sightings Will Soon Peak. Don't Blame The Government
A crescent Moon and the planets Mercury and Venus over the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) ... [+] Paranal Observatory in Chile.
However, before you start to panic, know that the bright light is nothing more than a close planet coming back into view after a while behind the Sun.
It is, of course, super-bright planet Venus and–for a limited time only–it can be seen with the hardest-to-see tiny planet Mercury.
* * *
Venus has been hidden for a while observable only before dawn for much of 2019, and until recently lost in sunlight. It reached what astronomers call "superior conjunction" (when it appears to go behind the Sun from our point of view on Earth) back in mid-August, but it's only now beginning to move away from the glare of the setting Sun. The same goes for Mercury, which was hidden by the Sun's glare completely during its superior conjunction on September 4.
Florida UFO sightings by the numbers: Sunshine State sees its share of unidentified flying objects
Florida has Cape Canaveral and 21 military bases that send fast-moving objects across the skies, but Floridians aren't seeing more UFO's than the rest of the country.
In fact, Florida sightings are average compared to much of the country, when you look at the overall population of the state, but we do have our share.
* * *
If you look strictly at the number of reports, Floridians claim to have spotted 6,604 UFOs since tracking began. That's roughly 30 sightings for every 100,000 people and puts us pretty much in the middle ranked at 29. California leads the way with more than 13,500 sightings, followed by Alabama with nearly 10,100.
In case you are keeping track:
The Navy tracks UFO sightings. Scientists explain what's really going on.
No one doubts that the pilots are seeing something, but psychologists and specialists in aviation medicine say there are plenty of reasonable explanations for such sightings other than extraterrestrial beings. Earthly sources of light reflected by clouds or haze, for example, or optical illusions wrought by fatigue after staring through a cockpit window for hours on end.

Though we treat our sense of vision as if it provides an exact representation of our surroundings, it is far from perfect in many respects, said Alan Stocker, a University of Pennsylvania associate professor of psychology who studies the neuroscience of perception.

UFO sightings are on rise in western Pennsylvania - The Morning Call
While the Kecksburg UFO sighting has become a quaint part of local lore, more recent reports of unexplained aerial phenomena are getting serious attention from Congress, the U.S. military and longtime UFO watchers.
"It's not going away," retired journalist Bob Gatty said. "Whether you believe or don't believe in this stuff, the fact remains there is a lot happening for some reason."
Gatty, who originally reported on the Kecksburg incident for the Tribune-Review in 1965, recently noted on his blog NotFakeNews.biz that the Navy issued new guidelines to fighter pilots regarding UFO sightings, and members of Congress are seeking more frequent briefings on the subject.
Why Have There Been So Many UFO Sightings Near Nuclear Facilities? - HISTORY
Why are so many UFOs being reported near nuclear facilities—and why isn’t there more urgency on the part of the government to assess their potential national-security threat?
Their investigations are the subject of HISTORY’s limited series “ Unidentified .”
Less known: In the last 75 years, high-ranking U.S. military and intelligence personnel have also reported UAPs near sites associated with nuclear power, weaponry and technology—from the early atomic-bomb development and test sites to active nuclear naval fleets.
