When this story first broke, one of the posters here said they'd read about 2019 being the year these UFO's were going to show themselves and this was the government's way of preparing us. If true, this makes sense...

Mullet = some name given to a section of airspace
They visually identified 1 aircraft simulating an F-8 with zero missiles or bombs

Regarding the "Mullet" airspace, when conducting training exercises, they sometimes name specific portions of the Warning Areas to make flight planning easier. They may divide up a large section into 3 sections and call one Tulip, one Rose and one Honeysuckle, or some other weird naming convention.
My guess is there is a Mullet, a Mohawk and a Beehive, or something. This is just a guess.
Regarding the F-8, yeah, I'm curious about that too. Perhaps planning on VIDing French or Phillipine counterparts when they hit North Korea? Again, this is just my educated guess. It's how exercises would go down when we did them.
For instance, we would use contracted Red Air. They flew Saab's. I think Saab Red Air represented a Mirage 2000.
