Just tell us

Possibly aware that people can’t storm Area 51 now, or in “fuck-it” quarantine mode like the rest of us, the government has selected the pandemic as a good time to release UFO documents. The Navy honored FOIA requests from The Drive, releasing eight hazard reports involving unidentified flying objects. We’re left with spooky details and few answers: a silver object the size of a suitcase, undetectable by radar, two “balloon-like” objects, a plane-shaped thing with no distinguishable features, and something that could have been a drone or a missile. The Drive notes that the limited set of reports is strange, given Navy pilots’ repeated assertions that objects were frequently flying around between 2014 and 2015. Hinting at the frequency, though, reports from March and April 2014 state that it’s “a matter of time” before an object collides with an aircraft. Calling Harry Reid? Trump?
