Advanced radars, and especially the ones I had first hand experience with (and I was in the Combat Direction Center as my "battle station" sitting next to the composite radar display of the SSDS operator) have anomalies. The SSDS system would try to create a single "target" from multiple radar and other sensors and you'd get "doubles" "ghosts" and anomalies. The USS Princeton had AEGIS and I've never worked with that system at all. I can only assume they saw abnormal things and thought they were anomalies.Tic tacs have the exact same shape as twinkies other than twinkies are flat on the bottom. I imagine someone said, if you want people to take you seriously stop calling it a damn twinkie.
That's cool you were on the same ship. There are skeptics that say it was radar malfunctions or natural phenomenon. The thing that gets me is 4 different guys watched it with their naked eyes.
The 2015 Gimbal video is even better. Those guys were seeing UFOs every day. They split one and almost hit it.
The other creepy thing is and the video doesn't show it, there was a fleet of them flying in formation.
The pilots accounts are absolutely the most credible things I've ever heard to suggest something other than "normal."
That said, it leaves me at... things were seen that can't be readily explained. That's where I'm at.
I mean I could get into ghost stories from when I was a kid. Freaky ****, but I don't think ghosts exist. I just think I had experiences that got interpreted by my mind in weird ways. So I'm a skeptic, even when I see things with my own eyes.
