Sailor says swarm of UFOs buzzed around US Navy warship in way no human craft could

A sailor claims he was on a US Navy warship that was surrounded by a swarm of what appeared to be UFOs - and they moved in a way no human craft could.

The witness, who spoke under anonymity to UFO researchers Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp for their new podcast Weaponized, says he was aboard the USS Paul Hamilton.

He explained that the mystery crafts were not behaving like a reconnaissance drone might, which is when the craft is overflying the ship and then returning to its base station.

The witness told Mr Corbell that the object started to arrive and leave on “a different bearing which is weird... if you deploy a drone to go check something out it would come [straight] back so that was like something significant enough for us to report”.

It comes as the Pentagon has recently started to openly discuss these mysterious objects, but has avoided calling them UFOs.

Instead, they are calling them UAPs [unidentified aerial phenomena] or in the case of these drone-like objects Unidentified Aerial Systems [UAS].

Corbell also said the sailor had told him “these are UFOs, they’re unidentified, but we have to call them something we call them UAS... you know... unmanned aerial systems because they just weren't big enough to hold a human being”.

The unnamed sailor also said the nearest dry land was too far out of range of any known quadcopter drone.

The Pentagon reports have stressed that objects are more likely to be operated by a hostile government's military rather than it being from beings not from our planet.

However, Mr Knapp believes the craft moves in a way that proves it can “manipulate space-time and create their own gravity”.

In June, we reported how the US Government has launched a new office to look into reports of UFOs from around the world.

The move was signed into law just before the turn of the year and aims to establish if there is a potential security threat from what is seen in the skies.

Experts will then work to establish if they came from a foreign force - or from a galaxy far, far away.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said: “Our national security efforts rely on aerial supremacy and these phenomena present a challenge to our dominance.

“The United States needs a coordinated effort to take control and understand whether these aerial phenomena belong to a foreign government or something else altogether."

The new Unidentified Aerial Phenomena programme was launched after a number of high-profile videos were released by the Pentagon - many including US military chasing targets pulling off impossible manoeuvres and speeds.

The move has upset many ufologists who believe the truth about possible visitors has been hidden from the masses for decades.

Ron James, a spokesman for the Mutual UFO Network, said: “We don't see that this means new resources will be dedicated to the matter.

“We believe that considerable resources have always been dedicated to the matter at some level inside deep government and industry.”
