One thing for certain - the Pilots know they are. I imagine many here have seen the F-18 footage released December 16 from a project known as AATIP or Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program. This operated from the Pentagon ( I wonder what MJ-12 in its current leadership thinks of this ) brought forward by Senators Harry Reed and Ted Stevens with funding of 22M dollars and operated from 2007 to 2012 in order to study actual aerial footage by military pilots and other evidence. This footage has been broadcast over every major media outlet over the past two weeks, with most not knowing what to make of it.

Last Saturday Jesse Watters interviewed the pilots of this footage that operated with the Nimitz group in I believe 2004. It was a terrible interview as Watters was out of his league, as are every other News commentators I have heard. I hope to see these guys interviewed by someone credible in the UFO field and am sure they will show up soon on Coast to Coast AM. One of the pilots Commander David Fravor stated that the craft they witnessed flew with abilities way outside of anything our military has or any other military. The Nimitz group had been getting ship radar of strange craft coming in and out of view for 2 weeks prior. On this day the first aerial footage was obtained. Commander Favor said it was shaped like a Tic Tac that was appx. 40 foot long. At first he thought it was a sub on the water until it flew up towards his F-18 and was then tracked on the footage as shown. There was a whole fleet of these craft he explained. He told Watters he is convinced it is not of this world and he believes we are not alone. Some of his statements are with this ABC interview on Dec. 13
http://abcnews.go.com/US/navy-pilot-recalls-encounter-ufo-unlike/story?id=51856514The leader of this Pentagon project was Luis Elizondo who I have seen interviewed and stated these craft fly with manners no military plane has and we are dealing with a different intelligence ( something I have flat out known since a youth ). He also stated there is a whole lot more of this type of footage and testimony out there gathered from their project that has not been released.
Is this finally the start of Goverment disclosure? I sure wish I could get Trumps ear for a spell, however during my life most of this information has been tightly held by above top secret groups ( originating with Majestic 12 under Truman ) and not known or discussed with high up officials, either gov't or military. Some years ago Senator Barry Goldwater held a keen interest in UFOs ( as did Pres. Gerald Ford and others ). His very good friend was Lt. General Curtis LeMay once head of the Strategic Air Command. Barry asked LeMay about UFO's in which LeMay became quite angry and scolded Goldwater to ask him anything, but to never ever discuss this topic with him.
