I couldn't help but think of Dell Dude. It feels so wrong hearing an F18 pilot use those words lol.

Oh, c'mon. These are the guys who draw penises in the sky with their jet exhaust.

Ideally, this was a deep, dark, "don't let ANYONE know about this" project backed by the Pentagon just to see what the limits of UAV technology are, and one test flight accidentally overlapped with a separate training exercise.

But Occam's razor is soooooo boring.

It is easy to dismiss the pilots of perpetuating a hoax, but what about the footage then? The radio transcripts with ship personnel also tracking the object? The Princeton had been tracking similar radar returns for two weeks prior before vectoring the F-18s over, which means probably all of the radar watch officers saw it.
As I see it to perpetuate this hoax would require tampering with Princeton's radar system , intercept footage tampering, and multiple officers plus both pilots to be in on it.

Admiral Peter Daly assumed command of the CSG in January 2005 after the intercept and had no knowledge or involvement in this incident.
