Multiple Destroyers Were Swarmed By Mysterious 'Drones' Off California Over Numerous Nights
The disturbing series of events during the summer of 2019 resulted in an investigation that made its way to the highest echelons of the Navy.
BY ADAM KEHOE AND MARC CECOTTI MARCH 23, 2021
Same general area where the Tic Tac events occurred...
quote:
In July of 2019, a truly bizarre series of events unfolded around California’s Channel Islands. Over a number of days, groups of unidentified aircraft, which the U.S. Navy simply refers to as ‘drones’ or 'UAVs,' pursued that service's vessels, prompting a high-level investigation. During the evening encounters, as many as six aircraft were reported swarming around the ships at once. The drones were described as flying for prolonged periods in low-visibility conditions, and performing brazen maneuvers over the Navy warships near a sensitive military training range less than 100 miles off Los Angeles. The ensuing investigation included elements of the Navy, Coast Guard, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The incidents received major attention, including from the Chief of Naval Operations—the apex of the Navy's chain of command.
quote:
The log reflects that the drone managed to match the destroyer's speed with the craft moving at 16 knots in order to maintain a hovering position over the ship’s helicopter landing pad. To further complicate what was already a complex maneuver, the drone was operating in low visibility conditions (less than a nautical mile) and at night. By this point, the encounter had lasted over 90 minutes—significantly longer than what commercially available drones can typically sustain.

You were so correct about Q, surely you are spot on with this too.

Tic tac?
Report says that “lights” were reported. So are these drones or something else? Why would you equip a drone with lights so that it could be seen if you were trying to do something stealthy?
No drone expert, but if they were a hundred miles offshore , in low visibility, that seems to rule out any sort of commercial vehicle doesn’t it? Doesn’t sound like anyone could be pulling some sort of stunt, like green peace, or similar.
I don’t know what the range of a commercial drone is, but I would think that it would take a military level of hardware / tech to be able to control something like that over such distances.

That is clearly a hostile act. Why didn't they shoot them down? Do they have the capability to shoot them down?

Why don’t you not click on threads you don’t like? Sounds like you just enjoy being difficult.

Prolly Joe Xiden's Chang Chang pals scoping out our ships for future attacks.

That was a simple question. Calm down.

Yes. No one wanted to make that call without knowing what it was I guess. It wasn’t in a war zone on a deployment
They have a CIWS forward and aft. Aft overlooks the flight deck. They also have plenty of m240s, m4s, m14s, and shotguns in the armory if they are worried about overkill.

The Tic Tac was David Fravor's sighting from the Nimitz in 2004. The video of the incident and interviews he's done, including Rogan, are pretty interesting.

We better hope the tic tac were aliens or secret tech - if it’s tech China or Russia has we are done for

There’s no way we can possibly withstand there brazen & annoying drone attacks.
Whoever is doing this, I’m wondering what they are waiting for. USS Nimitz tic tac encounter was way back in 2004, and for all that has gone on since, we are still here.

I haven’t read the tic tac story, and not saying this is the case in either of these, but a lot of times we test our new toys on our own systems. These toys may remain hidden to the public and standard military members for decades.
They were definitely testing the F-117 on our own radar systems, land and sea, for years and jimmy and joe in the log book had no idea what was going on.
Anything strange I’d guess is more likely us than another earthly nation.
