US Navy: "Hey, look at all these UAP!" "Oh, wait. NM."

I guess my assumption has basically always been there are aliens and ufos and they have the technology to find us which means they're permitting us to live. Not much use in being worried about it.
I'm guessing this has more to do with revealing our tracking/targeting capabilities than our military being otherwise involved with these things.
There was a time about 15 years ago I ran into an old codger who was a retired Air Force engineer. (Shoot, he may have pre-dated the Air Force, but a military engineer anyhow)
He told this story, paraphrased:
"Back in the 50'd or 60's, we were experimenting with a flying disc -- kind of like a plane with no wings. My job was to run the controller, which was a lot like a modern video game joystick. I went up in one with a test pilot. We ran our tests, and when we were done, he asked if I wanted to fly over the nearby town just for fun. We did, and the next day the newspaper said "UFO sighted in town". ..."
I wonder if 99% of UFO sightings are just experimental military craft that never make it to production?

And thus created the need for “grays” to be carried on board in the event of an emergency evacuation/crash landing?
Not a threat to Democracy. Or maybe the threat is so gradual and incremental that we do not notice the paradigm slouch?
Aliens are reading these boards.

This is so stupid. Just rip the band aid off you freaking wimps!
Probably not. The things that really catch our attention are the crafts turning at 90 degree angles and seemingly unaffected by air pressure or g forces.

Yep, there's a reason some of the images released look like they were recorded on a VHS camcorder. Pretty sure our optics are way, way better than that.
According to his description, no. It was flying high and fast.
To clarify, I only met this guy once ever. While people I knew vouched for his background (he really was a military engineer or something similar), I didn't know him.
So, either:
1) This was an experimental aircraft the general public to date has not been allowed to know about, or
2) He's full of it.
I'll never know which.
