When are people gonna get it through their thick heads, apart from VTOL and helicopters. no country in the world has any aerial platform that can stay still, make 90 degree turns or accelerate from zero to thousands of MPH in seconds.
All aircraft, besides those mentioned, depend on thrust technology to keep them airborne otherwise they would fall out of the sky.
And please DON'T come up with " but it's our own secret technology" BS. These vehicles have been seen in the skies for hundreds of years so that don't wash. And as for spying on any fleet by the enemy, one simple question:- do you really think that the enemy hasn't got multiple spy satellites like the US. Or do you really think that they would use model planes for the task, because that is what the real term is for a drone.

If they are chinese drones then why have I seen (and filmed) red orbs here in Sweden?
The truth is the Air Force does know that low radar-cross-section aerial vehicles, such drones and cruise missiles, are a massive threat. That is one major reason why the Air National Guard has equipped its F-15 fleet, and is now equipping its F-16 fleet, with AESA radars that can better spot these threats. These alert aircraft are also outfitted with targeting pods to identify any aircraft at long range, day or night, in relatively high resolution. The Air Force is also coming up with ideas to deal with large numbers of potential small threat aircraft at one time, such as using laser-guided rockets to swat them down, but those capabilities are still a while off from being operationalized. So there is finally action being taken, but saying "we really have had no way of defending the homeland against these low-end threats" really wouldn't be a good look for the Air Force and it goes against the whole idea of not admitting your strategic weaknesses.

And my mother and her brother saw a classic metallic saucer back in the 50ies.

Before I move forward, I must state that just because I believe the evidence is compelling that many of the bizarre encounters with mysterious objects in the sky as of late, and especially those that the U.S. military is experiencing, emanate from peer-state competitors, not another dimension or another solar system, there are certainly well-documented cases of seemingly unexplainable events that have nothing to do with this type of capability.

I read some parts of that report about the Tic Tacs From the scientific coalition for ufology , or SCU.
Seems Like the Tic Tacs pull more then 40 G , and noted that even a fighter jet like the JSF can only pull 13.5 G.
If that estimated analysis is true then it does seem like the capabilities are way beyond what mankind can produce.
But all this Hush Hush , leaking stuff without context through Corbell and co , TTSA , why ?
Why need a middle man to get this information out ?
Money is a powerfull motive to sell what ever people will swallow , and there is a market in Ufology , as we learn more about the universe , goldilock planets and stuff like panspermia more and more people will become open to the idea that life could live on other planets.
So the market for those products grows with it.
I haven't made up my mind yet what they could be , i try to keep as neutral to it as possible and consider other options.
Too many False prophets in Ufology have been around for me to fully trust their stories.
