An unexplained collision between a U.S. military aircraft and an unidentified flying object, detailed in declassified documents, has sparked renewed questions about whether aliens have entered American airspace.
The incident occurred in January 2023, when an unidentified object struck the left side of an F-16 Viper fighter jet during a training exercise near Gila Bend, Arizona.
Fox News reports:
The flying object impacted the clear “canopy” at the top of the aircraft and was first seen by an instructor pilot seated in the rear of the plane, officials said. An initial investigation found no damage to the nearly $70 million jet, and officials ruled out a possible bird strike. Authorities ultimately concluded that the aircraft had been hit by a drone. However, the drone’s origin and operator remain unknown, a spokesperson said.
According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) documents obtained by The War Zone, the crash marked the first of four encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) reported the following day.
The unusual incident was confirmed to Fox News by an Air Force spokesperson.
“According to military personnel I’ve personally met with, there were objects 200 miles off the East Coast that were extensively loitering and had no visible means of propulsion,” UFO expert James Fox said in an interview with Fox News. “So a report from 2023 about an actual impact with a UAP doesn’t really surprise me.”
Previously declassified documents from the Department of Defense reveal that between May 1, 2023, and June 1, 2024, there were 757 reported incidents involving unidentified flying objects. Of those, only 49 have been deemed “case closed” by the Pentagon.
While the presence of unidentified flying objects may raise alarms, James Fox says the phenomenon is far from new.
“There are reports dating back to the 1930s and 1940s,” the UFO researcher said. “Where you had mysterious, glowing, and orb-like objects that emitted very bright light that could just fly rings around the military planes from World War II.”
“This has been well-documented for decades,” he added. “So either we’ve managed to track the same thing it’s been, [possibly] non-human intelligence, since the 1940s. Or someone has managed to replicate the technology, reverse engineer it and they’re flying it around.”
In 2020, President Donald Trump hinted at intriguing knowledge about the infamous Roswell incident during an interview with his son, Donald Trump Jr.
“I won’t talk to you about what I know about it, but it’s very interesting,” Trump said.
Not everyone is convinced. Elon Musk remains skeptical that aliens have ever visited Earth.
“I’ve not seen any evidence of aliens,” Musk told the Milken Institute Global Conference last year. “And SpaceX, with the Starlink constellation, has roughly 6,000 satellites, and not once have we had to maneuver around a UFO. […] Never. So I’m like, okay, I don’t see any evidence of aliens.”

What do UFO true-believers and Epstein client-listers have in common? Other than Tucker Carlson … they’re all irrational hysterics who don’t understand things such as EVIDENCE, PROOF, and LAW.
Aliens dont exist. What they are is nephilim. They have always been here on earth. Even hitler was working with them and is where he got most of the technology which is why operation paperclip existed and admiral bird was sent on his expeditions. When hitler talked about the aryan race, he was not talking about humans, he was talking about one sect of the nephilim which are blond haired and blue eyed. The craft that appear over all our skies are powered by the aether. The ether is free electricity which was on the periodic table before the 1920’s and was removed. Tesla was able to generate free electricity from the aether which was shut down. On his death in new york, zion dons uncle confiscated all of teslas work and locked it away. If zion don really cared about the citizens, he would be developing that work which he has access to which would give free energy to everyone. His uncle was Dr John Trump. There were also vehicles that were water powered and their inventors passed by mysterious means. Hemp was also an ideal material over plastic but that was shut down. Henry Ford made a car from hemp which was stronger than steel but that was shut down too. The slave system must be maintained at all costs to feed the rich and bring misery to the serfs. The rockerfellers were the ones who hid the aether and pushed oil into everything as they owned the biggest oil company in the world called standard oil which was run at one time by prescott bush who sold oil heavily to the nazis. Its all one big slave theatre to keep the goy entertained.
