The latest installment documents other "close encounters" between Navy pilots and "unidentified aerial vehicles" that date back to 2013 and 2014. The takeaway from this story and the others has been unmistakable: Some kind of unknown, super-advanced form of aviation technology is encroaching on U.S. military air space and outmaneuvering top-gun pilots. If true, this would appear to expose an alarming national defense vulnerability.
The new Times report does not contain a whiff of this important background. Rather, it once again refers to "a little-known Pentagon program that for years looked into reports of unidentified flying objects, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program;" noting also that "the existence of the office was reported by The Times in 2017."

United States Navy confirms Unidentified Flying Objects videos were not to be
In a statement delivered to the intelligence news website The Black Vault , Joseph Gradisher, a spokesperson for the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, announced that the Navy officially considers the craft in these three videos "unidentified aerial phenomena." That means that the eerie videos are authentic — and that the objects, which were detected in restricted military training airspaces in 2004 and 2015, were not supposed to be there.
The UFO footage was also never cleared for public release, Gradisher told The Black Vault — meaning these are three unidentified phenomena you were never supposed to know about.
