Witnesses etc are not proof
Who said anything about witnesses? That was in the Air Force's own words! You know, 'standard operating procedures,(SOP).

Ancient cultures also reported seeing Gods and mythological creatures as well...
And, they described 'flying saucers' in much the same way we do today, only they didn't call them 'flying saucers' but 'flying shields.'

To you perhaps but maybe it does not cost 'billions' to fly them because they are flown by remote or computer control. To my knowledge it seems likely such craft would make perfect UAV's to spy on the unsuspecting.
Nope, because the UFO phenomena is worldwide and any military assets sent abroad also requires many support flights, ground maintenance personnel and logistics support, which in themselves would cost millions of dollars, and as I have stated, we don't conduct such reckless operations illegally in our allies airspace with our valuable classified assets. If one crashes in the country of an ally of ours, then the downed classfied project won't be a secret anymore and our friendly relations will be friendly no more especially if the downed classified aircraft, which was in our ally's airspace illegally, results in death and destruction within our ally's borders. In other words, the UFOs have nothing do with our classified aircraft, UAV nor manned.

All you have to do is produce the proof that the craft tracked in 1952 were alien. If you are unable to do so, then I rest my case.
That is very
****EASY**** to do!! We didnt' have aircraft in 1952 that could fly at over 9000 mph and conduct right-angled maneuvers, and add to the fact our first supersonic jet fighter, the F-100, wasn't flying at that time. To further add, the UFOs were not secret aircraft because they were in prohibited airspace without permission from ground-controllers.

<^>Speed and Shock Waves "A pilot and co-pilot for Mohawk Airlines spotted an interesting UFO one summer day in 1955 while cruising in their DC-3 at 3,000 ft near Utica, New York. An object passed at "great speed" 500 ft above their airplane. It was 150 ft wide, "light gray, almost round, with a center line . . ." At least four windows were observed emitting a bright blue-green light which seemed to change color as the object receded. It was also observed from two other aircraft. In addition, it was seen traveling east on airway Victor-2 from the control tower at Albany and by radar at Boston. Based upon the travel time between Utica and Boston, it must have been flying between
4,500 and 4,800 mph. And even at that speed, it did not produce a sonic boom.
This sighting was not considered by the University of Colorado researchers to be due to anamalous propagation of radar signals; it was thought that it "must certainly be classed as an unknown pending further study, which it certainly deserves" but didn't get."
"The literature abounds with examples of UFOs flying at unusually high speeds and, as in this example, being tracked on radar. Many of them were measured at speeds greater than the world record for airplanes at the time. And some substantially out-performed even experimental, rocket-powered aircraft,
as was shown in an analysis of 81 radar cases, spanning the period 1941 through 1962."[/b]
" In 1952, for example, the highest speed recorded was about [u]1,200 mph, whereas in August of that year a UFO was tracked by an Air Defense Command radar at
4,000 mph. During a famous display over Washington, D.C., the previous month, radars operated both by the Air Force and the CAA tracked UFOs "on the order of
7500 mph," and some of these events were coordinated with visual sightings. Four months later, several objects over the Gulf of Mexico were tracked on radar aboard a B-29 in bursts of speed between
5,240 and 9,000 mph at an altitude of 18,000 ft."

<^> The ball in now in your court, so show me an aircraft that can mimic such performance levels as listed above, or I will rest my case in support of ET.
