Beyond UFOs: What Are Navy Pilots Seeing in the Skies?

In recent weeks, several U.S. Navy fighter pilots have come forward to disclose encounters they experienced with unidentified flying objects while performing training missions off the U.S. East Coast in 2014 and 2015.

These encounters directly mirror events involving the USS Nimitz and its air wing off the Baja Coast in 2004.

Both events have their share of witnesses; from highly trained fighter pilots to crew members aboard the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Princeton and witnesses aboard an E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning and control aircraft.
