The UFO Phenomenon

US Navy has patented exotic 'UFO' technologies

The US Navy appears to be developing exotic aircraft not dissimilar to the UFOs recently sighted by its own pilots.
Recently it emerged that between 2007 and 2012 the Pentagon had been involved in a secretive $22M project known as the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program which was set up to investigate credible sightings of unidentified flying objects over US air space.

Among these were reports by US Navy pilots of unknown objects traveling at impossible speeds without any visible means of propulsion, or hovering without any apparent means of lift.

Now it turns out that the US Navy has in fact patented a whole host of exotic technological concepts including a "hybrid aerospace-underwater craft" capable of unparalleled manoeuvrability both in the water and out of it - something that sounds a lot like what the Navy's own pilots have been reporting.
According to a report by TheDrive.com, the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of the Naval Aviation Enterprise wrote a letter to the primary patent examiner to emphasize the importance of awarding the United States the patent because China is already "investing significantly" in such technologies.

There are also US Navy patents for a "high frequency gravitational wave generator", an "electromagnetic 'force field' generator" and even a "craft using an inertial mass reduction device."

If such technologies were in development, and especially if another country such as China is already in possession of such aircraft, it could go a long way to explaining the US Navy's interest in pilot UFO encounters and its recent move to standardize the reporting process.
