UFO stalked US aircraft carrier for days

A supersonic UFO shaped like a Tic Tac stalked a U.S. aircraft carrier for days before vanishing into thin air, according to a bombshell Pentagon report.

The object, which could reportedly hover in midair and make itself invisible, bamboozled U.S. Navy fighter pilots during a training exercise in the Pacific Ocean.

The leaked report, obtained by Las Vegas' KLAS tv station, tells how the USS Princeton, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, had multiple radar contacts with what it dubbed a Anomalous Aerial Vehicle (AAV).

In November 2004, the ship's ultra-advanced AN/SPY-1 multifunctional phased-array radar caught the object hovering at 60,000 feet before nosediving to the ocean surface in a matter of seconds.

It then sped off so rapidly that crew members thought it was a ballistic missile.

It appeared again two days later, and a pair of high-tech F-18 jets were scrambled to intercept it, but pilots reported that the object had turned itself invisible.

It could still be detected as it was triggering a a circular disturbance in the water "about 50 to 100 meters in diameter."

The craft was described as "solid white, smooth, with no edges... uniformly colored with no nacelles, pylons or wings", and looked like "an elongated egg or Tic Tac," according to one of the pilots.

Weird. I wonder what it was... some sort of Chinese UAV?

That could hover at 60k feet?

Maybe it was the planet Venus. It hovers in the sky occasionally.

Maybe it was the planet Venus. It hovers in the sky occasionally.

And shows up on radar?

Well yes, actually, but not these particular radars!

Seriously, the only thing I can imagine is something like a UAV or manned aircraft. The SR-71 could operate at 80,000 feet at Mach 3.3, surely such performance is still technically possible.

Either that, or it's a big screw-up and there was no such craft.

I mean, what are the other serious options?

I'll say it: ALIENS!

So a white tic-tac that can hover and then nose dived to the ocean and then sped away. Then when intercept planes were sent out to chase it down, it turned invisible.

Maybe it is just some sort of advanced drone missile.
