The year is 2019 month of July and the US Navy is conducting maneuvers 100 miles off the coast of California. F-18 Super Hornets are being launched and recovered as would normally be the operational mode, but there’s a problem. Someone is harassing and acting in an interception role against the naval pilots. The Destroyer Russel has picked up bandits on its radar screen. These images will take a couple of years to reach the news so that American audiences can be informed, but for right now the operation is in danger of being compromised.

Detected but not identified

Unlike the aerial Tik Taks observed by US Naval F-18 drivers in 2018 where gun camera footage took brief visual records of the attempted intercepts, these aerial vessels are different. It appears that they are triangular in shape. The US has at least 2 known hyper sonic reconnaissance craft that might fit this description. The “Aurora” has been in existence for some time, yet has still not officially been acknowledged as part of the US military inventory. A little bit more mysterious and not officially in existence is the “Manta” another high speed stealthy triangular aerial platform that does not officially exist, even though its electronic signature and characteristic cork screw contrail have been recorded since the early 90’s by even amateur enthusiasts.

Secret projects?

Even in his book “Aliens from Space” circa 1973, USMC retired Donald Keyhoe mentioned the sightings of triangular shaped craft spotted over the North Texas Panhandle and regions in close proximity as early as the 1960’s so there is a history of these unknown configurations in the air space over the continental United States. The question is, are they X-planes being kept under top secret wraps? Does the US military engage in unannounced interventions into war games of maneuvers of branches of the military armed forces such as the US Navy, US Air Force, US Marines, US Army, or even the National Guard? As we know even National Guard aircraft such as the F-102 Delta Dart crews have engaged “Bogies” and failed to identify them.

Ultra high performance

UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) could be but is not definitely synonymous with extraterrestrial. They are simply “Unknowns” or as is being terminologized more these days “UAP’s” thanks to former NASA scientist, Richard Haines, an abbreviation for “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon”. The objects appear as white triangles which closely corresponds to the hypersonic “RAM” jet engine and “SCRAM” engine vehicles designed to fly above Mach 6 as was the tested limit of the X-15 manned rocket plane of the early 1960’s. The white color can be attributed the extreme heat signature given off due to the atmospheric friction on the skin of the fuselage encountered during high performance flight.

Possible consequences?

My brother served as a warrant officer and radar tech sergeant aboard the AWAC’s flying reconnaissance and radar mapping mission for our fighter pilots. He told me at times he was ordered to shut off his radar screen during top secret flight tests. Once he told me he didn’t want to know anything about the classified mission data or programs as that could make him an espionage target. Working at Cheyenne Mountain or simply having meetings there would certainly be of intelligence value, unfortunately to our enemies. The danger of the US military flying top secret high performance aircraft in the midst of conventional aircraft maneuvers could be accidental engagements and casualties. Has that ever stopped the military brass from engaging in the proposition of these risky missions? Nope!  

George Adamski?

It might be interesting to consider that George Adamski of the largely discredited "Contactee" trend of the 1950's was the first UFOlogist or journalist to capture a flying triangular UAP while in aerial operation. It makes you wonder what else Adamski knew that the authorities scoffed at.
