The US Navy literally has the technology that can create fake images in the air using plasma. This holographic technology could explain the increase in UFO sightings in recent years. Could it be that secret US government agencies are using this technology to create videos of UFOs in order to distract the public from the real thing?
When the pandemic began, the subsequent lockdown led to an unprecedented increase in UFO sightings. This provoked mixed reactions, and the US Navy had to scramble to declare a holographic system in its possession.
In 2020, the US Navy patented a method of creating 3D images in mid-air using plasma. The technology aims to create a heat source that deters enemy infrared missiles (a method in which a laser beam is configured to generate a laser-induced plasma filament (LIPF), and the LIPF acts as a decoy to divert a guided missile or other threat away from a specific target).
The technology could also theoretically be partly responsible for a series of UFO sightings reported by Navy fighter pilots in 2004 and from 2014 to 2015. However, this technology doesn’t explain everything either. Furthermore, the patent is still pending.
Modern aircraft are capable of destroying enemy missiles by firing flares or “blinding” the missile’s seeker. In addition, plasma-based anti-missile technology uses high-intensity lasers embedded in the rear of an aircraft. This generates a plasma filament that in turn generates an infrared signal that gets close enough to the target to deflect the missile. It can also rapidly adjust the plasma to match the infrared radiation the target is emitting, thus distracting the missile.
But there’s something strange about using laser-induced plasma filaments to create floating images. The patent doesn’t mention using plasma filaments to fool anyone except missiles. But the ability to “draw” objects in the sky would explain the Navy’s UFO sightings.
The Pentagon is unlikely to release videos of its own secret weapon. However, UFO theorists have their own hypotheses. They believe that plasma filament technology is responsible for these encounters. While it is not known what the mysterious objects are, there are aspects of these sightings that rule out holographic technology.
In the early 1990s, the Russians claimed they could produce glowing “plasmoids” at high altitudes using high-powered microwaves or laser beams; the aim was to disrupt the flight of ballistic missiles, a response to the planned American ‘Star Wars’. Nothing came of the project, but the technology may have been refined for other applications in subsequent decades.
According to the patent document:
“…it is possible to generate a 2D or 3D volumetric image in space. This is analogous to scanning an electron beam on a cathode ray tube-based television. In one potential embodiment, a laser system would be mounted on the back of an air vehicle so that the beam could be rasterized using optics and mirrors to generate a large “ghost” image in space. This ‘ghost’ image would appear to deflect the guided missile away from the tangible air vehicle.”
The U.S. Navy UFO sightings in 2004 and 2014–2015 involved objects that were visually sighted by pilots and were visible to the AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) sensor and targeting pod. The notion that the ATFLIR could capture a plasma filament image is not surprising, as is the notion that a pilot could see an image generated with the technology with the naked eye.
There are other factors that rule out the use of holographic technology. The radar systems of the Super Hornet fighter jets, the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft and the guided missile system of the aircraft carrier USS Princeton would have detected the presence of these objects.
There’s also the fact that laser beams degrade over distance. This would require a ship or aircraft generating an image to fly relatively close. None of the pilots reported seeing another aircraft nearby, and in 2004, the USS Princeton spotted UFOs at 80,000 feet.
The technology behind the patent is an innovative way to defend against enemy missiles. But even if it could create UFOs that could see certain sectors, that doesn’t explain the Navy’s sightings. Nor does it explain most of those seen around the world.
