Tyler Rogoway reports about the UFO incidents that
were experienced by U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter pilots (the VFA-11
Red Rippers squadron) over the U.S. East Coast (from Virginia
to Florida )
from the summer of 2014 to March 2015.
The Red Rippers squadron is based out of Naval
Air St ation
Ocean a in Virginia Beach , Virginia .
The UFOs were sighted both visually and on radar during
training manoeuvres off the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. The
unknown objects were first detected just after the Navy had upgraded the radar
systems on its F/A-18 jet fighters in 2014.
The New York Times (26 May 2019 article) interviewed
Lieutenant Ryan Graves, Lieutenant Danny Accoin and three other unnamed Super
Hornet fighter pilots about the UFO incidents.
For decades – people have seen unknown objects while
flying in military aircraft, Lieutenant Graves said in the interview.
