despite official acknowledgement of the phenomena by the U.S. and other governments.
UFO researcher Hynek said to not be surprised if pilots report astronomical objects as UFOs. A commercial pilot who posted in one of my threads said he got no training in identifying UFOs and no training in astronomy or identifying astronomical objects, but lots of training on how to fly the plane and handle emergencies.

I want to believe pero
I think they have had too much cane sugar coca cola.
Looks like it might just be a great sighting of planet. Zoomed in and out.
If Ats has taught me anything it’s that an object zoomed in to close looks exactly like this.
One of the world’s first genuine UFO investigators, Allen Hynek of Northwestern University, came to believe that some encounters really could have otherworldly causes. But he was much more skeptical about the reliability of pilot testimony. "Surprisingly, commercial and military pilots appear to make relatively poor witnesses," he wrote in "The Hynek UFO Report."
Hynek found that the best class of witnesses had a 50 percent misperception rate, but that pilots had a much higher rate: 88 percent for military pilots, 89 percent for commercial pilots, the worst of all categories listed. Pilots could be counted on for an accurate identification of familiar objects — such as aircraft and ground structures — but Hynek said "it should come as no surprise that the majority of pilot misidentifications were of astronomical objects."
Yes. Where pilots are concerned, the second half probably should also include astronomical objects like planets, lol.
