Navy Admiral is Clueless About the UFOs That Menaced US Destroyers Off California Coast in 2019
Article by Bevan Hurley April 6, 2021 (dailymail.co.uk)
• Last month, The Drive website revealed that US Navy warships stationed off the coast of Los Angeles had encountered swarms of mysterious drones, which pursued them at high speed in low visibility. Ship logbooks, internal emails and eyewitness descriptions establish that the UAVs (unidentified aerial vehicles) had a far greater aeronautical capability than any previously known drones.

• Admiral Michael Gilday (pictured above), the Chief of US Naval Operations, led an investigation into the July 2019 incident. Speaking to the Defense Writers Group in Washington, Gilday told them “I am aware of those sightings, and as it’s been reported, there have been other sightings by aviators in the air and by other ships not only of the United States, but other nations — and of course other elements within the US joint force… Those findings have been collected and they still are being analyzed.”
• Gilday’s statements appear to rule out the theory that the drones could have come from a secret US military program. This has led to growing speculation that they were either built by a rival military power or ‘something else beyond our understanding is going on’. Scores of reports of similar sightings date back to the 1960s and remain classified. Lawmakers have been calling for the Pentagon to open up its classified records about the encounters, citing national security concerns.
• The 2019 LA sighting has parallels to previous UFO encounters, in particular an infamous 2004 incident when six Super Hornet pilots made visual or instrument contact with a mystery ‘Tic Tac’ UFO in November 2004. The Navy has now classified the 2019 LA ‘drones’ investigation, preventing further information from being released.
• Gadi Schwartz, an expert on UFO encounters, told NBC News that the Navy’s response only added to the intrigue surrounding the sightings. “There’s either another nation or possibly a secret program that has made some technological breakthroughs that would change the way we understand physics, or something else beyond our understanding is going on.”
The head of the United States Navy has admitted he has no idea where a swarm of
mysterious Tic Tac-shaped drones that menaced four US destroyers originated.
Admiral Michael Gilday, the chief of naval operations, led an investigation into the July 2019 incident in which a group of unmanned aerial vehicles chased four US Naval destroyers for up to 100 nautical miles off the coast of California.
Flight logs revealed as many as six mystery aircraft swarmed several US Navy warships close to a sensitive training area at the Channel Islands at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour and with a greater maneuverability than US military drones.
When asked directly if the Navy had confirmed the identity of the drones at a media
event on Monday, Gilday responded: ‘No, we have not.’
