Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt: Hypersonic Capabilities and Uncertain Origins

To the point

From 2014 to 2015, Navy pilots on the USS Theodore Roosevelt observed unidentified flying objects with no visible engine or exhaust that could reach about 30,000 feet and hypersonic speeds, perform abrupt maneuvers and spins, and stay aloft for long periods, prompting Lt. Ryan Graves and Lt. Danny Accoin to wonder if they were non-human technology rather than drones, a line echoed by the 2004 “Tic Tac” sighting and suggesting such encounters may be more common than publicly acknowledged.
