Naval ships have faced more than 150 swarming incidents in Pacific since 2016: Report

Mike Brest - Yesterday 12:01 PM
 

The Navy has acknowledged more than 150 reports of incidents involving ship encounters with unidentified small aircraft systems from 2016 to 2021, according to The Drive’s The War Zone.

The Navy’s Pacific Fleet released 35 reports on various incidents and withheld another 116 reports officials said were classified in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. All of the incident reports had been reported through the OPREP-3 reporting system between 2017 and April 22, 2021.

The reports that were released all cover what are described as "Unmanned Aircraft System/Non Traditional Aviation Technology (UAS/NTAT),” and none appear to reference experiences with unidentified aerial phenomena, the military’s preferred term for unidentified flying objects.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
