Former US defense official: We know UFOs are real - here's why that's concerning
2019-05-30
[FoxNews] Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, is involved with a new History Channel series, 'Unidentified,' which will expand on topics discussed in a recent New York Times article. In numerous interviews, Navy pilots revealed that they saw UFOs moving at hypersonic speeds, performing acts “beyond the physical limits of a human crew,” and emitting "no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes."
“So the pilot said to me, he says, ‘There I wuz, no shit...’ ”
If you consider the astronomical time, energy and distance problems of an interstellar visitor wanting to visit Earth and play games with a bunch of USAF pilots it's well past highly unlikely.

There is a less unlikely scenario if they MUST NOT BE FROM Earth. That's something more like the "Long Earth" SciFi novel series. That one involves alternate Earths. If one has the ability to transit alternate universes the problem is with traversing alternate Earths. Look at the history of any patch of ground. It changes. If you move from your back patio in an alternate earth your patio might be a hi-rise basement and you just died materializing in cement. Now if one is high in the air or in space one could zip through many alternate realities much more safely. If you were good enough about it and a prankster .. see a USAF plane, pop out a dimension, move over and pop back in... now you look hyper-sonic... To be honest that's way over the top but not as much over the top as crossing space to come here.

To be honest ... as a teen I pulled a prank. A decade later, at a wedding, I ran into the ex-police helicopter pilot I had pulled it on. I was shocked to discover he had quit his job after my prank and become a major UFO researcher (because of my prank) - It's my bad karma. I felt bad for a few seconds and then said "what the hell" and went on with my life. UFOs.. spit...
