🚨CNN Reports: Downed US pilot reported seeing Iranian drones swarm in jellyfish formation A US fighter pilot reportedly witnessed something deeply unusual moments before ejecting from an F-15 shot down over Iran in April. Multiple Iranian drones hovering together and moving through the air as though they were a... single object. According to CNN, the pilot described larger drones connected within the formation, with smaller drones hanging beneath them like legs. One source familiar with the intelligence debrief reportedly called it "real alien shit," while another said the pilot described the sky ahead of him as a "minefield of drones." The formation apparently resembled a jellyfish, but the significance of this account has nothing to do with extraterrestrials. If the description is accurate, the pilot may have encountered a level of coordinated drone warfare that US intelligence didn't expect Iran to possess. During the pilot's intelligence debriefing, he reportedly explained that the drones weren't just flying close to one another, they appeared to be interconnected and moving in unison. The jellyfish description has become popular within the UAP discussion, particularly after footage emerged showing an unidentified object over a US military installation in Iraq with several appendage shapes extending beneath it. This is possibly one of the clearest examples of why military UAP reports can't be laughed away, but also can't automatically be treated as evidence of non human tech. A pilot can accurately describe something extraordinary while still lacking enough information to identify exactly what is responsible. Has Iran developed a networked formation that can combine multiple drones into what appears to be one coordinated aerial organism, or did the pilot encounter something else? #Iran #DroneSwarm #F15 #MilitaryTechnology #JellyfishUAP #UAP #UFO #DroneWarfare #NationalSecurity Source: *Video is of the Jellyfish UFO over Iraq 2017show more

Why wouldn't Iran possess it? Drone shows are a thing. . . China has been doing them for several years. China & Iran are tight because of oil. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

China does coordinated drone shows all the tme. Why wouldn’t iran be able to do that? Plus, claude always talks about distributed intelligence like jellyfish. Not a stretch they used ai to draft military plans.

Perhaps the Iranian tactic was to move the jellyfish formation into the path of an incoming aircraft in hopes of at least one of the drones scoring a hit. Thoughts?

Skywatch Signal3 months ago

I guess it's possible. Not sure why they would be interlinked though.

Michael R. Herron Esq.3 months ago

Because it would be impossible to hit a fighter jet with one drone, but a large cluster of them would be much harder for the fighter jet to avoid.

Sure this is Iranian technology? If this is the case, then Iran is a super power and the US is lagging behind in so many ways that, put the world in a very distinct situation. China, Russia and Iran more advanced than the US? Hmmmm.

I think it may be both. The Jellyfish UAPs and now this possible drone perspective on them makes it even more fascinating. It’s always been the one shape that makes zero sense to me as any number of possibilities exist to explain the other shapes. But the Jellyfish is intriguing.

🚨 A US fighter pilot describes 'Iranian drones' in a 'jellyfish' formation — one central body with smaller ones interconnected underneath, moving as one. This sounds a lot like the Jellyfish UAP (Class VII): a ~2m bulbous head with 3–5m pulsing, tentacle-like appendages trailing below. The Jellyfish UAP has demonstrated electromagnetic interference capabilities. Observed flying in coordination with Tic-Tac type UFOs, jamming radar, and disabling a Skywatcher helicopter mid-flight (controls frozen, only allowed to retreat). Could the pilot have encountered advanced Iranian drone swarms... or mistaken them for the real Jellyfish UAP?

A new report has revealed a fascinating claim from a rescued US F-15 crew member who allegedly encountered a highly coordinated formation of Iranian drones during the Iran conflict. According to the pilot, the drones flew in a synchronized pattern resembling a giant jellyfish, raising questions about the possibility of advanced swarm warfare capabilities. If accurate, the sighting could point to a sophisticated "meshed networking" system, where multiple drones share data and operate as a single coordinated network rather than as individual aircraft. Such capabilities could significantly change the future of drone warfare and air combat. While US intelligence agencies have not confirmed the claim, the report has sparked fresh debate about the true extent of Iran's drone technology. #iran #IranWar #f15strikeeagle #drone #DroneStrike

Are UAP Orbs Adversary Drones? It is plausible that the majority of the low-speed, formation-flying, radar-quiet orbs are genuinely human-made drones, while the outlier high-speed or high-radar-cross-section cases within the same dataset represent either measurement error or an attribution mistake, whereby a fast-moving object like a missile or aircraft momentarily conflated with a slower drone swarm in the same scene. Better digital data is needed to decide whether any of the UAP orbs represent a new class of objects of non-human origin.

The US carried out a strike on Iran using drones that were copied from the Russian 'Gerani', which was taken from Ukraine, - retired colonel Steve Ganyard. 'The US observed Russia using similar drones with devastating effect in Ukraine. But the drones that Russia uses are purchased from Iran. The US never had anything like this before. These long-range disposable strike drones are highly accurate. The Pentagon received a sample - one of them was found in a field in Ukraine and reverse-engineered. It was copied. Thus, the drone that the US is now using to strike Iran is based on Iranian technology. The irony is that Iran is being destroyed by its own technology.' - SK

Iran has deployed a new air defense system against US aircraft Al Jazeera reports that Iran is using an unknown, high-tech air defense system capable of hitting American F-35s, F-15s and F-18s. According to the IRGC, the system was developed after the "12-day war" and has already been used in practice. The US confirmed the attack and the evacuation of a pilot who required medical assistance. There are also reports of F-18s being hit and reports on F-15s and F-16s. The narrative of a "completely open sky over Iran" has been called into question. According to available information, Iran is capable of striking modern US and Israeli aircraft.

🇺🇸 UFO CLOSE CALL? PILOT REPORTS “SILVER CANISTER” FLOATING NEAR PLANE A pilot flying over Rhode Island called air traffic control with the kind of report that instantly turns a normal day into a group chat story. He said a mysterious object, shaped like a “small silver canister,” was hovering just feet from his wingtip at around 3,500 feet and “appears to be standing still.” The controllers asked for more detail, but the pilot said it did not look like a drone or a balloon and did not seem attached to anything, it was just “hovering” there on its own. They sounded as baffled as anyone, with one voice calling it “Creepy!” before another added the line every pilot dreams of hearing midair: “Good luck with the aliens!” No official explanation is given in the report, and the FAA did not immediately comment. So what was it: a super-close drone, a floating science project, or the world’s most awkward fly-by? Source: VASAviation, New York Post

A downed U.S. pilot described flying into something he could only call "alien shit"... That image stuck with me through my whole conversation with Malcolm Nance. The story: an American F-15 pilot, shot down over Iran, had a long ride under his parachute to watch what hit him. What he saw, per the intel debrief, was hundreds of Iranian drones holding a pattern in the sky. Big ones up high, smaller ones below, staggered across a known flight corridor. An aerial minefield Malcolm, who has actually run drone units in Ukraine, lit up at it. He says the Iranians took the same cheap tech behind those choreographed drone light shows you see over the UAE, strapped explosives to each one, and turned a fireworks display into a wall of hovering shrapnel. Fly through it and you "FOD" your engines, the same way a bird strike downed that jet over the Hudson. His real warning is what it means next. America has spent decades and billions chasing drone-swarm tech, and a teenager in the IRGC may have just fielded a working version for pennies. There's no clean defense. And the same trick that wrecked 40 Russian bombers in Ukraine's truck operation could, he argues, be smuggled into Gulf waters and turned loose. Malcolm Nance

🚨 New UFO Footage: “The Jellyfish” In 2018, the U.S. military captured footage in Iraq over a sensitive facility. The object was designated as “UAP” by U.S. Intelligence. Jeremy Corbell obtained & released this video. He identified direct eyewitnesses that corroborated that the event occurred and described the following: “It goes out over a body of water. I’m told, it stops on a dime, descends into the water, stiff into the water. And for 17 minutes, nothin’. And BOOM! This thing comes up out of the water and shoots off at 45 degrees.” Corbell says the footage of this action exists according every source he’s talked to that is aware of this event.

The Chinese are advancing on 6th-generation fighters, but I have serious doubts about whether this is truly the right path. Recently, the Turkish company Baykar flew two combat drones that operate in perfect synchronization, guided from a ground base. They executed coordinated maneuvers autonomously and are already capable of conducting BVR (Beyond Visual Range) engagements. The Kızılelma became the first drone to achieve an autonomous kill with an air-to-air missile guided by its own AESA radar. This level of Turkish progress, combined with the kill web integration that Chinese drones are demonstrating, isn’t it a strong indication that manned 6th-generation fighters might be an extraordinarily expensive fantasy? I’ll go further: some drones are already reaching speeds above Mach 3.5 - more than double those of the leading current manned fighters. I’m talking about drones capable of high-speed coordinated operations, fully autonomous, with integrated and shared weapon systems, flying at altitudes far higher than conventional fighters, and employing systems similar to Aegis. How much longer until these drones take off in large swarms, equipped with ultra-modern sensors controlled by AI and armed with long-range air-to-air missiles? How could a human pilot, even at the height of adrenaline, make faster and more accurate decisions, involving multiple scenarios and factors, than an AI commanding a pack of smaller, more agile drones operating at different altitudes? We are entering the real competition between man and machine. Even if a pilot in a 6th-generation fighter has control over slave drones and an entire Aegis-like kill web, what is the point of having him there if everything can be done autonomously, more safely, more cheaply, and in far greater numbers? Some argue that the human pilot offers advantages in unpredictable scenarios where today’s AI still fails, and I agree. But I’m not talking about current AI: I’m talking about the AI of 2030–2040, far more advanced than anything we know today. Geran drones equipped with air-to-air missiles prove that air combat drones can be extremely low-cost, while the Turkish tests show, in a far more sophisticated way, that drones designed for air-to-air missions are evolving much faster than 6th-generation aircraft, whose development and production costs are exorbitant. When we put together the Geran, the Kızılelma, and the drone kill web integration the Chinese are achieving, the question arises: is the future really manned 6th-generation fighters, or much cheaper drones produced in greater numbers, better protected, and more capable? Wouldn’t it be smarter to invest in well-equipped autonomous 6th-generation drones rather than treating them merely as wingmen? It seems that keeping a human pilot on board has more to do with ethical principles and preserving our role than with genuine operational necessity. And how would humanity react to the constant killing of human beings by AI-guided drones? Drones will be cheaper to develop, easier to produce, and possibly more agile than conventional fighters, even 6th-generation ones. In cost-benefit terms, the price of a single 6th-generation fighter could buy dozens of equivalent or even superior drones. This would save hundreds of billions of dollars and could put whoever adopts the strategy a step ahead. The Chinese, by the way, are very well positioned in this race, with HALE drones already armed with air-to-air missiles and integrated into an extensive kill web, which I will describe in detail soon.

Today morning Iranian air defenses shot down a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet as it flew over central Iran. 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 This is the first confirmed case of a US manned fighter jet being shot down by enemy fire inside Iran since the beginning of the regional war (Iran has claimed to have shot down other US fighter jets, but without completely solid evidence to prove a shootdown, although damage to them has been demonstrated). Thousands of local people are searching the mountains for the US pilot after Iran government offered rewards for them. Meanwhile, a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and two U.S. UH-60 helicopters conducted an operation in western Iranian airspace to locate and rescue the pilots. After several hours, at least one of the pilots appears to have been rescued, while the fate of the other remains unknown.

Head of the UFO research committee in Moscow to Jacques Vallée: "You know, one of the most important aspects of this whole phenomenon is that it’s polymorphic... they change shapes. An object will appear as a disc and as it’s moving through the sky it will change into a cube or into a pyramid or it will vanish on the spot." The same observables can be said of "plasma-like" orb UAP. This is a compelling example.

An object will appear as a disc and as it’s moving through the sky it will change into a cube or into a pyramid or it will vanish on the spot." The same observables can be said of "plasma-like" orb UAP. This is a compelling example.

🚨NASA's Mars Rover Captured a "Jellyfish UFO" Then It Vanished 13 Seconds Later NASA's Curiosity rover photographed a strange jellyfish shaped object on a distant Martian ridge. Researcher The Sol Anomaly Archive discovered it and now its taken the internet by storm. The image of the Jellyfish shaped object is there in one image but in an image of the same terrain taken just 13 seconds earlier nothing is there. The object is only a few pixels across, so nobody can honestly identify it from the photograph alone. It could be an imaging artifact, a transient dust feature or something positioned differently against the terrain. The intriguing part is that the timing allows for movement, and its silhouette bears an uncanny resemblance to the Jellyfish UFO recorded over Iraq. Mars has an atmosphere roughly 1% as dense as Earth's. Ingenuity required enormous, fast spinning rotors to fly and produced visible disturbance close to the surface. The Curiosity image shows no obvious rotors, exhaust or dust beneath this object, although the camera resolution limits what can be established. A natural explanation may eventually account for it. Although I highly doubt NASA will give us any honest explanation. Until then, the two original NASA frames definitely need a closer look. What appeared above that ridge for 13 seconds? #ufotwitter #uapX #Mars #UFO #UAP #NASA #CuriosityRover

Pilot reports ‘silver canister’ UFO feet from his plane during ‘creepy’ air traffic control call: ‘Good luck with the aliens’ | Anthony Blair, New York Post “Good luck with the aliens!” an Air Traffic Controller said. A recording of the “creepy” moment a pilot was told “good luck with the aliens” after reporting a UFO sighting to air traffic control has resurfaced following the bizarre incident over the skies of Rhode Island. Newly resurfaced video of the live ATC broadcast captures the moment the pilot told the ground team, “It appears to be standing still,” as the mysterious object, which he compared to a silver canister, floated beside him. “Looks like a strange, small object that we just floated by. A small silver canister. Do you know what that could be?” the pilot told ATC in the recording, shared on YouTube in October by the VASAviation channel, which regularly posts ATC frequency conversations. After ATC confirmed that they did not know what the object was and asked for further details, the pilot responded that the UFO was just feet from their plane in midair. “Appears to be standing still and I’m at 3,500 feet. It was right off our wingtip. Small silver canister,” said the pilot, flying a Piper PA-32RT-300T Turbo Lance II, which seats up to five passengers. He added that the “astonishing” object did not appear to be attached to anything, but was just “hovering” in midair, in response to a further question about whether it was a drone or a balloon. “Creepy!” the ground team responded in the short clip, before another ATC operative adds, “Good luck with the aliens!” It is believed that the incident over Rhode Island occurred around the same time as the video’s posting on Oct. 27. The clip has since been shared on social media and went viral. The FAA did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
