Infrared search and track systems are designed to detect stealthy aircraft that radars have trouble with, which makes them also ideal for spotting UFOs. U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy fighters are just about to be equipped with this technology, which could result in an uptick in encounters and unprecedented data collected from those incidents.
We have exclusive details about the incidents off the east coast in 2014 and 2015, including that the objects all looked exactly the same.
A total of five pilots have come forward with two going on the record about their experiences, including one very close encounter with a very strange looking. In addition, a major upgrade in fighter jet radar tech seems to have been key in detecting and tracking bizarre objects flying in military training airspace.
The upgrade represents a massive boost in combat capability for the USMC’s healthiest legacy Hornets.
