2014-2015 US East Coast Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) encounters

“In late 2014, two pilots in Super Hornet F/A-18 fighter jets had been training for imminent combat operations in the Middle East, as part of a carrier strike group led by the nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed flagship aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.”

“The stories from the east coast Roosevelt training exercises revealed how, as the training off the east coast rolled into 2015, pilots encountered these anomalous objects almost every time they flew.”

“unlike those on the USS Nimitz ten years earlier, they had new advanced APG-79 electronic beam scanning radar systems”

“Carrier Strike Group Twelve, as it was known, also had a brand-new integrated data-link capability, giving commanders a comprehensive overview of the battlespace like never before.”

“New E-2D Hawkeye airborne early-warning aircraft were also in the air.”

“For weeks, every pilot on almost every mission had been tracking strange objects in the sky.”

“they showed unknown objects apparently hovering for hours and then flying at instantaneous hypersonic speeds at altitudes ranging from 30,000 feet to sea level”

“when their jets’ infrared cameras started picking up the same objects, the pilots realised these were not false radar tracks at all”

“the two fighters were flying in open skies barely 30 metres apart when, out of nowhere, a mind-bogglingly anomalous object hurtled through the narrow gap that separated them”

“What the pilots saw was a translucent sphere, like ‘a giant soap bubble’, that passed between the two jets. ‘It was basically a cube inside a sphere with the points of the cube touching the outside of the sphere,’ navy fighter pilot Lieutenant Ryan Graves said of the serious near-miss incident recounted to him by his anonymous pilot colleague who experienced it.”

“Christopher Mellon gave more detail about the mysterious cube-inside-a-sphere object seen by the pilots in this incident: ‘They’re perhaps six to ten feet across. And they’re transparent, like a soap bubble with a black cube inside. And the edges of the cube are touching the interior of the bubble . . .’”

“The pilots rationalised that such a craft could not possibly be part of some covert US government project because the risk involved in deploying secret new technology against your own pilots without warning was immense and a flagrant breach of standard operating procedure.”

“‘What’s fascinating and interesting about these objects,’ Graves said, ‘is that they’re up there when we take off, they’re doing their thing for our hour-and-a-half, maybe two-hour flight, and then we land. And my buddy that takes off an hour later is seeing the same things.’”

“Perhaps most disturbing of all was that when the USS Theodore Roosevelt left Florida in March of 2015 for the Persian Gulf to be part of the battle against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, these unknown craft apparently followed the carrier battle group to the other side of the world.”

“The ‘presence of the mysterious objects in the restricted training airspace off America’s east coast was so pervasive that it was largely common knowledge among local flying units,’ he wrote.”

“it would later emerge that the Gimbal was almost certainly videoed sometime in late 2014 or early 2015 off the east coast of the US”

“His story revealed that this latest newly declassified Go-Fast video was filmed off the east coast of the US sometime in late 2014 or early 2015.”

“the 2014 case, very few people have spoken about it.”
