Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) described how his office received a “protected disclosure” from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, regarding a January 2023 UFO incident over the Gulf of Mexico. After being stonewalled by the Air Force, he delivered a tense, on-base reminder to the military about “how authorities flow in the United States of America.” The Air Force relented, permitting Gaetz to review sensor data gathered during the encounter.
According to Gaetz, fighter pilots tracked four unknown objects flying in a “clear diamond formation.” Notably, the incident occurred on a training range typically conspicuously free of any airborne clutter.
Still imagery indicated that one of the objects demonstrated capabilities that Gaetz, who has served on the House Armed Services Committee for nearly a decade, was “not able to attach to any human capability, either from the United States or from any of our adversaries.”
Radar data, according to Gaetz, showed that the four objects moved in a “very clear formation [with] equidistant” separation.
As Gaetz noted, and further documentation confirmed, the fighter jet’s radar stopped working as the jet closed within 4,000 feet of one of the objects. The jet’s infrared camera malfunctioned too, requiring the pilot to take still images of one of the unknown objects manually.
In a case resolution report published last week, the Pentagon’s UFO analysis office concluded with “moderate” confidence that the object observed by the pilot was a balloon, likely “a large commercial lighting balloon.”

So now they have invaded the earth and are doing a permanent surveillance for one day when...

If there is one thing that you can count on in this falling-apart world it is that the ETs are insisting on a One World Government...of some type. Maybe they care not about what kind of government, or maybe they do.
This is a point few seem to have considered. And one Many on ATS especially, would find extremely upsetting: a non-human civilization, far more advanced and powerful than any human civilization, imposing a world government on Earth, either by example, or dictate.
It does not seem to have occurred to many in the UFO field, that any species capable of assembling the resources necessary to contact Earth from somewhere in the vast cosmos most likely did so from at least a planetary hegemony - a "One World Government" of their own.

All of those things can only be done in very controlled near-field conditions. There is not a system on earth that can generate a coherent IR form at multiple tens of thousands of feet, much less have it dart around and maintain form.

Not everything, but far more than most -- even in my field. We just aren't there yet.

What I meant by coherent IR form, is a plasma mass/form that maintained strict hardbody geometry throughout its timeline.

Think about it just from a power perspective while forgetting about the sharp-edged geometry. Just focusing on a single point and getting an intersection the size of a meter or more would require beams that size or near to it -- a meter wide laser on CW -- think about the power and HW required.
