There are all kind of stories thrown around. And if some pilots were lost engaging an alien spacecraft,,, it would be absolutely impossible to keep that a secret.

Former Army Aviation guy here [...] It makes for a good story, but I don't think it's true.
When pilots are killed in action on a secret mission, it is often because they were engaged in classified military or intelligence operations. In such cases, the families of these pilots are typically aware that their loved ones were involved in dangerous and sensitive assignments. There are several reasons why families may not raise the alarm or publicly disclose the details of their loved ones' missions:
Respect for National Security: Families are usually briefed on the classified nature of the mission and the importance of maintaining national security. They understand that revealing sensitive information could potentially compromise ongoing operations or put other military personnel at risk. Respecting the confidentiality of classified missions is considered a duty to their country.
Legal Obligations: Family members may be bound by legal obligations or non-disclosure agreements that prevent them from discussing the specifics of the mission or the circumstances surrounding the death of their loved ones. Violating these agreements could result in legal consequences.
Trust in the Military: Families often have trust in the military and the government's decision-making processes. They believe that the mission their loved ones were engaged in was necessary and in the best interest of national security. This trust may lead them to accept the secrecy surrounding the mission and refrain from raising public alarm.
Grief and Privacy: Families of fallen military personnel often go through a period of grief and mourning. They may prefer to keep their private matters private and deal with their loss within a close circle of family and friends. Publicly questioning or challenging the circumstances of the mission might not align with their grieving process. It's important to note that the above points are generalizations and may not apply to every situation. There have been cases where families have raised concerns or sought answers regarding the deaths of their loved ones on secret missions. However, such cases are typically exceptional and depend on various factors, including the specific circumstances, individual beliefs, and personal choices of the families involved.

Thanks for the analysis
It depends, of course, what "they" see as a threat and what is not seen as a threat. What the 4chan guy (?) suggests is that ships can simply pass over if they do not suddenly make sharp turns or other unexpected movements. If they do, they are in danger of being "shot" down. Also, the "factory" seems to be able to move itself out of the way, and it makes sense to me that it would move to a relatively calm spot, sea vessel traffic wise.
Your point about pilots families raising the alert if one of their kin is gone missing is a good point. It may be that these pilots do not have families, but that's a bit of a stretch on my part. It may also be that their families aren't even aware of them working as pilots, but again: a bit of a stretch here.
But OTOH, it is also expected by such families that their son/brother/whatever can end up dead, it is in the nature of the profession that some never make it. Nor do pilots talk a lot about their missions (assuming these are secret missions) and in pilot's families that is well accepted. So, if a pilot is killed, indeed often the message to the family is along the line of "lost in action" or "killed during a training exercise"..
Thank you for the respectful conversation! I'm definitely not trying to argue.
As for seafaring ships and it being able to differentiate between whether something is a threat or not, It would make sense why ships and aircraft have gone missing in the general area. What doesn't make much sense to me though is that the area isn't quarantined. There have been people for years that have made attempts to locate some of the wrecks using sonar, submersibles, and whatever else is used to locate them. You'd think the powers that be would steer those people away in case the stumble upon the "factory" (sorry, I don't know what else to call it...and I believe that's what the 4chan person called it) or unwittingly get close to it and get killed. If the factory decided to move itself once it realizes that these civilians are going to be poking around the area, then with it's enormous size, it's going to stir up debris, create...hell, I don't know what they're called...underwater wake(?) as it moves through the water. Even if it has some sort of tech that doesn't create any kind of wake, there's still water displacement.
I totally get what you mean about pilots families, and pilots not talking about their missions. It's been my experience dealing with them though, that while they may not discuss the classified portion of their mission, they will still talk about what they can...with whoever will listen. Pilots are obnoxious.
And families will typically keep quiet from what I've seen as well, that's a very good point.

I read your threads and your fascination with ET and UFO. So you bash this guy and 4Chan. IMO you are doing so to prop up yourself and that's what ATS isn't about.
This has nothing to do with deny ignorance and this story does have legs and connections. Many here have seen UFO's including me. Many are USA owned and many arent. He mentions the orange UFO's that were 1st documented in the late 1800's.

After a few years away from ATS due to political right wingers taking over , Ive returned because of all the alien & bigfoot threads on the main page. Cool post & thanks

I came across this over the weekend. Notice ahead of time that this comes from a 4chan post, so take it as fiction, if you like. It is an interesting read all the same.
Apparently the OP is a government employee with certain access to UFOs and information that pertains to his department. He claims to be dying of liver cancer and wanted to let the public in on some of what is going on behind closed doors.
I found it very interesting about his descriptions of an underwater construction facility that manufactures and recycles UFOs for specific utilities.
Anyway, take a read. It's fun even if it is completely made up.
First link is his post and the second is a picture dump of the responses he gave to questions asked from forum users.

problem with religions especially christians in the ufo topic is that they view everything in a narrow lens. where anything that's not listed in the bible is demon/devil or something....
a levitating refrigerator?? ahh devil is up his dirty tricks again.

His premise and some of this quotes are intriguing. I read the entire thread. And I think he has a genius imagination.

Just keep an open mind as your and I and many other US citizens are disposable. Just look at how they treat the Vets.

what hurts his credibility is his emphasis on "lazer" for the weapons the et use, he claims they use these for everything.
laser aren't some mythical tech or something. he also claims they disintegrate everything with white laser beam, which is not likely as human made large laser need to focus on a target for quite a while before damaging it.
as much as i love ufo and prospect of ets, there is simply too much disinformation(intentionally probably) and hoxes. which ruin this hobby field imo.
