During a briefing with reporters, Jon Kosloski, director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, admitted that the U.S. government is stumped by several “true anomalies.” According to Kosloski, “There are interesting [UFO] cases that I, with my physics and engineering background and time in the [intelligence community], I do not understand. And I don’t know anybody else who understands them either.”

I would say if it was so highly classified you wouldn’t have seen it. There’s a lot of room on this planet to hide aircraft like that and zipping it around Seattle is probably not the best idea lol

That's true, but it also takes a lot of staffing for these projects, and these people don't generally want to be isolated like Los Alamos, they want to have normal lives. Even Area 51 isn't that far from Vegas.

A few of the times I've seen it included friends and bystanders who also saw the same thing at the same time and place.

Could it be of some other origin? Sure, I guess, but that seems like an even more fantastical explanation to me.

I'm just going with an explanation that has at least some backing of documentation and discussion in the publications revolving around military aircraft technology, as well as patents.

To me this seems the least implausible, it seems more plausible than explanations that have basically 0 technical documentation.

Could I be wrong about what this thing is? Could all or some of this documentation be wrong or intentionally misleading?

Of course.

But there at least is a bit of a paper trail.
