I’ll take pilots word for it, and say I think it’s real. I’ll also wait for a reasonable explanation.

I see a lot more than a blob. This was taken from a Navy F-18 Hornet pilot which are the cream of the cream when it comes to piloting skills. The images are from the Hornet's onboard IR targeting camera, which tracks the heat signature of the object and inverts the image similar to what you see when you look at an ordinary film negative. Looking at the Hornet's Artificial Horizon below on the processed image, both aircraft are in a high speed 45 degree bank. I can clearly see the silhouette of a kid's top shape type object. The IR camera is also picking up some type of energy being radiated around and near the object. Lots of respect here for the F-18 pilots. Also, the company I work for builds the visual systems for the Navy's F-18 Hornet simulators so I am very familiar with the cockpit and instrumentation of the Hornet.

What I meant was, with the exception of the special outline of the object, there are no visible features. There are no observable details, such as as variations in light or dark, much less color.
It may be that the imaging system of the plane is incapable of showing such details.
@Stewie26 may be able to answer that. I'd be very interested in knowing more about how the IR camera would create the bright area around the object and why that would necessarily represent "energy being radiated".

I am not sure what it is as I have never seen anything like this before with thermal imaging devices. That said, there is some type phenomena being created near the object. The glowing around the object which in this case means it is actually a cooler temperature than the craft is also somewhat symmetrical with two distinctly shaped patterns on the top and one large one around the bottom of the craft. This is because ff you look at the very bottom left hand corner of the cockpit display below, you will see the text, "BLK" on the screen. This was switched over from the normal default of White, which normally represent that the object is hotter than its surroundings. But about 12 seconds after the start of the video, the display was purposely switched over to BLK (Black) which reverses the image. (Hotter is now Black on the screen). This was probably switched by the pilot to give the object more contrast against and sharpness against the background. That said, since this is a reversed image, the patterns glowing around the object are actually thermally cooler than the object itself. With Air to Air thermal imaging systems, you basically only see a silhouette of your target as the device is creating an image by measuring the different temperatures of objects and their surrounding against the background temperature.

Little green men did not come a gazillion miles in that, its an unidentified something from somewhere on this planet. It begs the question though ...if the govt had close up photos of one of these would they release it for public consumption ? I think not. Sooooooooooo, the mystery continues.
Could be little green men. Then again it have originated here on earth. Homo Sp. evolution started around 2 million years ago, and cultural development around 176,000 years. Another intelligent species could have easily evolved before the hominids. Also, there’s a lot ocean out there. Covers 71% of the earths surface. That’s all I got.
The Pentagon UAP Taskforce is going to release a report soon. Should be interesting to see what it says.

I’ve been waiting to see what replaced the SR71 since it was officially retired. I’m thinking some kind of unmanned stealth aircraft capable of operating outside earth’s atmosphere that can take off and land on a conventional runway, carrying a full array of high angle imaging technology.
It’s entirely possible we are chasing our own bogey. The F117 was a UFO for almost a decade before a crash in an uncontrolled area let the cat out of the bag.
A news item about a 6 foot diameter sphere that travelled along side a US Navy ship for about an hour.
When the report comes out in June, They will NOT have the word 'alien' in there at all. Just sayin.....
One of the things that's puzzling to me is the government's apparent willingness to release this information. It seems to me that if it's your own military tech, then you don't want your adversaries to know anything about it: how fast it moves, how easy / hard it is to detect, etc. And if it's an adversary's military tech, you don't want them to know how much or little you know about it.
If I had to guess what these are, I would still guess they're not physical objects at all, but some kind of sensor glitch or optical mirage. But I realize that interpretation gets more and more strained as the frequency of the sightings and combination of radar / IR / visual detection increases.
I think it's a calculated step towards disclosure. The many "baby" steps towards "full" is where we are, and where we're heading IMO. Step back and think how to do this over, say, a 20 year time table. All the hollywood movies that have been prepping us...No big shock when you've been primed to accept it....

Sometimes it’s better to control the narrative. If the secret is about to break anyway, do it first and do it officially with a plausible fiction. It focuses credibility on the official version of the story and allows further release of disinformation from the ultimate authority on the subject at hand.
I was watching a well know scientist, reaction to the UAP/UFO video footage. The question was asked why scientists weren't seeing these things, and perhaps fighter pilots are less reliable in what they're seeing. I thought about this question. As it stands at the moment, fighter pilots are at the top of the hierarchy of power. Could be one explanation.
Here's the 60 Minutes interview with the two fighter pilots who were having multiple close encounters with these things.

No need to come a gazillion miles if space/time can be folded like a sheet of paper to bring point A closer to point B. Or possibly wormholes. It's also possible that if we are being visited, the visitors may be from an alternate dimension. They may occupy the same space and time as we do, but exist at a different vibrational frequency. There is also the possibility that visitors (if they are here) can manipulate time, since it is no longer assumed in some branches of quantum physics that the grandfather paradox is a limiting factor in time travel. There could also be be races of beings native to Earth that we are not aware of that may be older than us by thousands or millions of years and posses advanced technology (see the work of paleontologist Dale Russell).

The Brookings Report (commissioned by NASA and the Brookings Institution in 1960) focused on this same idea and concluded that while knowledge of other-planetary life could bring humanity together, it could also (and more likely) cause major social upheaval to most of the world's political and religious institutions, causing widespread panic. In many parts of the world people of the same race, religion, and cultural background are killing each other for trivial and inconsequential reasons as it is - imagine if humanity were to find out that we were seeded by an alien race millions of years ago.
We are not here alone.
