Understanding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: A Veteran’s Perspective

In recent times, reports of strange aerial sightings have stirred considerable public interest and debate. As a former military service member from a NATO country—though not from the United States—I feel compelled to offer some insights and critical observations based on my experience and understanding of military operations.

The Phenomena in Question: Not Standard Military Drones

A common misconception is that these sightings are merely advanced military drones. However, I believe they are something altogether different—unusual objects whose nature and purpose are not yet clear. The key to understanding what is happening lies in applying straightforward logic and understanding standard military protocols.

Key Considerations

Size and Flight Patterns

Some of these objects are reportedly as large as cars, making it highly improbable that they are typical military drones. The logistics and risks associated with flying such sizable craft over densely populated urban areas are enormous. If a craft of this size were to malfunction or crash, the consequences could be catastrophic—landing on homes and causing injuries or fatalities. Moreover, military testing is carefully controlled; testing large equipment is not conducted over public or congested areas. Instead, such tests are carried out in designated, secure zones far from civilian populations.

Air Traffic Disruptions

Reports indicate sudden closures of airports and abrupt changes in flight schedules coinciding with these sightings. While it might be tempting to see this as coordinated planning, it’s more likely an emergency response or precautionary measure. Such disruptions are typical when unidentified aerial objects are detected, reflecting a cautious and protective approach rather than a calculated operation.

Global Testing Practices

It’s highly unusual for a military—especially the US military—to conduct simultaneous testing of large or experimental craft across multiple regions worldwide. Military testing is generally localized, controlled, and well-coordinated. The idea that massive, unknown objects are being tested globally without the knowledge or oversight of military command contradicts established procedures and protocols.

Why This Matters

These points suggest that what we are witnessing does not align with standard military behavior. Instead, it points toward either experimental technology outside traditional military parameters or other phenomena not yet understood. The military, for all its resources and intelligence, would not deliberately risk public safety by deploying untestable, large objects over populated areas.

The Government’s Role

In this context, official silence or refusal to confirm whether these objects are military equipment is notable. Historically, transparency is a challenge with sensitive military information. However, the current situation indicates that these
