On the other side, you have phenomena like the USS Nimitz encounters. In a week long span, pilots, super hornet FLIR pod cams, the USS Nimitz radar, the USS Princeton radar, and a spy hawk all detected cylindrical objects going up to mach 51+ within less than a second. However, whenever these are mentioned, instead of looking at this phenomena with wonder and curiosity, it only brings out irrational skepticism.
