UFOs harassed US warships off California: report
By Jorge Fitz-Gibbon March 24, 2021
Mysterious flying objects repeatedly harassed three US warships off the coast of California in 2019 — at one point matching the speed and bearing of one destroyer for 90 minutes, according to newly released details from the ships’ logs.
The unidentified crafts, described in the logs as “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles,” buzzed three destroyers for several days, according to records obtained by the news site The Drive through the US Freedom of Information Act.
As many as six of the drones swarmed around the USS Kidd, USS Rafael Peralta and USS John Finn over several days in July 2019, at times performing “brazen” maneuvers, the report said.
“Kidd reported UAV overhead,” one of the ship log entries from July 14, 2019, reads.
“White light identified hovering over ships flight deck,” said another entry.
“Two UAV’s spotted off the starboard wing,” the Rafael Peralta log read, followed by another entry six minutes later: “Four UAV’s spotted off the starboard bridge.”
The Navy vessels, which are equipped with sensors, radar, thermal imaging and electro-optical systems, were nonetheless unable to track the drones when they disappeared.
On July 15, 2019, the ships contacted the cruise ship Carnival Imagination, which was sailing nearby, to determine if the crafts were from there
he crew of the cruise ship said not only were the drones not theirs — but could see five or six of them flying around the Navy destroyers, Forbes said in a report.
The sightings took place while the warships were engaged in military exercises about 100 miles off the coast of Los Angeles — well beyond the range of commercial drones.
The incident prompted an investigation by the Navy, Coast Guard, FBI and other agencies, Forbes said, but failed to come up with an answer.
Details of the mysterious incident were first reported by Dave Beaty, who posted about it on Twitter in June of last year, Forbes said.
The revelation is just the latest report of unexplained crafts buzzing around the sky.
n a report earlier this month, a former national intelligence official said a forthcoming government report will reveal “difficult to explain” evidence surrounding UFO sightings — including that they have been known to break the sound barrier without a sonic boom.
Last month, the FBI confirmed that it had received a report from an American Airlines pilot who reported a “long cylindrical object” over New Mexico at 37,000 feet.
In November 2019, reports surfaced of a similar incident in 2004 involving the USS Princeton off the coast of California — with the Navy allegedly trying delete the details.

Well there you go, it was not that you thought the news item was untrustworthy, just that the messenger is racist. My apologies for any temporary angst this has caused, it will not happen again!

There's everything wrong with Bing, perhaps even some things wrong with Bing that are less wrong with Google but in general, what is wrong with Bing is exactly what is wrong with Google.

Does it contact an extra-terrestrial higher authority? Is there a galactic or universal standard operating procedure for dealing with contact scenarios of this type? And if it is truly galactic or universal, why aren't all terrans aware of it?
Ok I get it, you will not have to complain to me again.DrEvil » Fri Mar 26, 2021 4:10 am wrote:BenDhyan » Thu Mar 25, 2021 1:04 am wrote:^ It's pretty hard not to use Bing if your browser is Edge.

The messenger isn't "just" racist, it is racist, period. That you, and many others, don't see the issue with that and continue to blithely spread their horseshit is one of the reasons racist garbage is fucking everywhere these days.
Linking to racist sites gives them extra clicks. Extra clicks gives them more advertising money. More advertising money lets them spread their racist bile further. It doesn't matter that this particular story was innocent, it still helps support all the other shit.
Sorry for yelling at you, but god damn this stuff pisses me off. Anyway, on topic: that last story sounds more like regular drones with unknown operators than actual UFOs. Maybe someone testing the waters to see how they would react (if they didn't shoot them down this time, maybe they won't next time either when the drones are loaded with explosives or nerve toxins), or just taking a closer look at US warships in action.

The year would have been 1955 or '56, so before satellites, they say. I had two abutting windows in the corner of my room and each was about two feet in length, one pane of each slid open and the other remained fixed in place. I first noticed the "light" because of its brightness and motion. In less than 30 seconds time, it crossed both, left to right. That's more than 90 degrees of arc.
I've spent a fair amount of time since gazing upwards with the hope of viewing another, hopefully one that appears to be manufactured, rather than orb or tictac like. Any would sort would do, really. I also have a great expanse of the sky in view to the southeast along the hudson river valley, so I also feel a bit cheated, considering so many sightings have been reported here.
In today's electronic navy what the ship "sees" many others do as well, simultaneously. Reporting up the chain of command is all but unnecessary.
I wondered the actual location of this event and whether it was between the Channel Islands and the coast of California, so thanks Ben, for adding that article. It also reveals the sensor system for their 5" guns, which should have worked in the infra red as does FLIR. Supposedly, there's a large undersea base for ufos deep undersea in this same area.
I wouldn't be worried about using any search engine, Harvey. I think once you turn on your computer, you've lost credibility in the privacy argument. Anyone truly concerned for their privacy should not be using electronic social media to communicate. Snail mail is more secure for the average joe concerned for his privacy. No instant gratification possible using this mode of communication, though.
I've long believed the "Watchers" recorded in ancient texts and in the bible are those visitors in the manufactured craft; the "angels," orbs. Who Knows?
