00:00:03,710 --> 00:00:02,149
I got an email from a variety of

2
00:00:05,690 --> 00:00:03,720
different people in different fighter

3
00:00:07,970 --> 00:00:05,700
squadrons on base and they were saying

4
00:00:09,950 --> 00:00:07,980
that they were spotting these craft out

5
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:09,960
in the working areas and very shortly

6
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:12,120
thereafter I classed up and started

7
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:14,400
retraining the F-18 and I was in the

8
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:16,080
wingman position flying out to the area

9
00:00:19,970 --> 00:00:18,000
and as we got out to the area my flight

10
00:00:21,529 --> 00:00:19,980
lead was picking up all these contacts

11
00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:21,539
all around the airspace that we were

12
00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:23,279
supposed to have to us that day I was

13
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:24,840
using the radar and I was able to pick

14
00:00:28,849 --> 00:00:26,880
one of these up take an acquisition and

15
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:28,859
then I trained my Fleer to it it was

16
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,240
fairly far away I don't remember the

17
00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:32,640
exact range but it looked just like a

18
00:00:37,069 --> 00:00:34,680
sphere and we ended up having to cancel

19
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:37,079
that event because there were so many of

20
00:00:40,369 --> 00:00:38,520
these out throughout the working areas

21
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:40,379
and when we got back filled out a form

22
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,360
with that largely saying congratulations

23
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,399
to our adversaries for discovering a way

24
00:00:47,869 --> 00:00:46,559
to disrupt Naval Aviation training a lot

25
00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:47,879
of other people were seeing these out
