On November 6, 2018 the pilots of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter were on a training flight in Arizona when they spotted three unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, making wild maneuvers in the sky not too far away and not particularly high in the sky.
At least that’s the narrative that accompanies the latest bit of what used to be called UFO footage published to YouTube Friday morning by the science, technology and defense website The Debrief, in conjunction with the opening of a UFO Disclosure Symposium taking place this weekend in Vernal, Utah.
The below short clip is taken from the vantage point of an airstrip on the desert floor looking upward where three objects can be seen moving across the sky at what looks like a fast clip.
“The three planes fly very fast up there?” said a pilot over the radio.
“Probably A-10 or F-16,” answers another.
As they move, the three points of light appear to dance around each other in ways that would seem to defy known physics for a mechanical aircraft.
“The circle dance maneuver is simply possible,” Chris Lehto, a former US Air Force F-16 fighter pilot, told DeBrief. “It does a full 360-degree turn in less than 3 seconds. ! »
“It’s just kind of willy nilly flying around,” said Lehto. “It just kind of gives me more of an organic rather than mechanical feeling.”
Mick West, a noted UFO skeptic, also does not feel any mechanical sensations while watching the video.
“You don’t even need analysis here. Just look at the original video. It simply looks like birds,” West wrote on Twitter.
This statement follows the first Congressional hearing on UAP/UFOs in part of a century. The Pentagon is creating a new center to collect and analyze UAP reports, and defense officials told a House committee earlier this month that they aim to decrease the stigma around such observations and those who report them.
At the same hearing, Navy Deputy Director of Intelligence Scott Bray shared excerpts from two new UAP sightings and explained how investigation of one of them leads to a technical explanation that made the drones appear like triangles when viewed from above. through an SLR camera connected to night vision equipment. .
