The year is 1946 and the world has just emerged from years of brutal warfare that resulted not only in the deaths of millions but the creation of weapons of mass destruction. The new found peace is precarious as nations are forced into or voluntarily take sides in the two major ideological camps of communism and capitalism. The Soviet Union and the United States, once allies during the war are now openly engaged in a war of words and threats.
But there is an even greater threat from within, as the United States has been infiltrated by Soviet spies and sympathizers who are not only actively exposing US secrets and strategies to the Soviet Union but influencing policy makers at the highest levels of US Government. Some spies have voluntarily come forward and have named names, but many remain hidden and a threat, the extent of which will not be realized until much later.
Into this melee is born an organization like no other – a master guild of magicians – who will use the dark arts to tease out of the shadows the Russian spies that linger there. Their amazing performance is told here for the first time after almost seventy years of obscurity, their magic so well-conceived that their veil of illusion continues to this day.

The craft were described as white and tic-tac like in shape in this case. So who decides that it's not secret technology from a potential enemy?
Perhaps they know very clearly that the orbs are not Russian.

You seem to be inferring that the only reason the military doesn't freak out about "anomalous sightings"
is that they are the cause of all of them, for purposes of training exercises, psyop/deception, etc.
Without exotic detection systems, which would be impossible to keep compartmentalized,
since they would need to be installed in most all planes/airports/control towers everywhere..
so then we'd know about them..
That is nearly the only answer, presumably.
But that leaves a most unsatisfactory after-taste to ones' pattern-matching
brain. It's missing pieces.
The "military knows about the UAP side-effects to mental perception"
as well, seems evident. And perhaps they are continuing to test and/or
deal with this as well... but they would know there is no reason to freak
out about this effect.. more often than not it's not dangerous to aircraft,
etc, just to a few pilots, who can be marginalized/dealt with
dishonestly if necessary.
So a combination of the two?
One thing that people often miss, is that the government too, can be
doing something that is a 'work in progress' - that the "government"
is not a cardboard cut-out bad guy that has everything figured out
at all times.
I guess this is kind of related; but I thought I read somewhere that Linda Moulton Howe and Bigelow were actually an item at one time. Has anyone else heard this?
Any opinions on the book?

No I have never read it. It sounds interesting if a little dry from reviews.

I am saying that occurs in some cases for sure. In particular I suspect the story TTSA have been promoting is some kind of deception. As posted earlier in the thread the Nimitz was in port during a training exercise that lasted weeks. The training equipment also showed:
"All the ships see radar, video, IFF (Identification Friend or Foe); there's no difference. You can't see the difference between real world now and what the operators were seeing during the exercise."
There are other cases as well where it seems that a test (unbeknown to those being tested) was taking place. People in charge of guarding nuclear facilities appear to have decided against reporting UFOs until years later. If everything is a test then so be it. They are not in that case true unknowns.
What seems to be a potentially serious problem is if a foreign unfriendly power developed something and everyone in the US military just lets it go unreported because they consider it to be a UFO.
Does a section of the military know what these mysterious objects really are?

well to quote a truly wise man and hero.
" Well, you see I'm not saying that I've been everywhere and I done everything. But I do know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on here, and a man would have to be some kind of fool to think we're all alone in this universe. "

My original point was how would a pilot know whether to engage such a craft or not? Who makes the call?
