Washinton, May 27: A report has surfaced which will fuel conspiracy theories about aliens. US Navy pilots claimed to have spotted unexplained flying objects (UFO) almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, high in the skies over the East Coast. The pilots informed their superiors that the UFOs had no visible engine, but that they could reach 30,000 feet and hypersonic speeds, The New York Times reported.

Lieutenant Ryan Graves and four other US Navy pilots said they saw the objects in 2014 and 2015 in training manoeuvres from Virginia to Florida.  Lieutenant Graves was flying aircraft carrier, Theodore Roosevelt. "These things would be out there all day. Keeping an aircraft in the air requires a significant amount of energy. With the speeds we observed, 12 hours in the air is 11 hours longer than we’d expect," Lieutenant Graves was quoted as saying.

He had reported his sightings to the Pentagon and Congress. In 2014, pilot of a Super Hornet aircraft had a near collision with one of the objects, according to an annual mishap report. Some UFO sightings were captured by planes' cameras. One such incident happened in early 2015 when a plane's camera shows an object zooming over the ocean waves as pilots question what they are watching. Aliens Are Having Sex With Humans to Create Hybrid Species to Save Our Planet, Says Oxford Professor!

"Wow, what is that, man?" one exclaims. "Look at it fly!" While the US authorities neither confirmed nor denied the sighting of UFOs, the Navy sent out new classified guidance earlier this year for how to report what the military calls unexplained aerial phenomena or unidentified flying objects. According to Joseph Gradisher, a Navy spokesman, the new guidance was an update of instructions that went out to the fleet in 2015 after the Roosevelt incidents. Aliens Living on Other Planets?

"There were a number of different reports. Some cases could have been commercial drones, he said, but in other cases, we don’t know who’s doing this, we don’t have enough data to track this. So the intent of the message to the fleet is to provide updated guidance on reporting procedures for suspected intrusions into our airspace," Gradisher was quoted as saying.
