Washington (CNN)Newly released "hazard reports" detailing encounters between US Navy aircraft and "unidentified aerial phenomena" reveal details about incidents that were thrust into the spotlight when the Pentagon officially declassified and released videos of three encounters late last month.

"The unknown aircraft appeared to be small in size, approximately the size of a suitcase, and silver in color," one report describing an incident from March 26, 2014, said.

During that encounter one of the Navy F/A-18 jets "passed within 1000' of the object, but was unable to positively determine the identity of the aircraft," the report added, saying the US Navy pilot "attempted to regain visual contact with the aircraft, but was unable."

The reports were first published by the Drive, a website covering auto news and military issues, which obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Objects could be drones

The newly released reports appear to share this assessment, describing many of the unidentified aircraft as "Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)," the Pentagon's official name for drone aircraft.

According to another incident report from November 2013 a Navy F/A-18 pilot "was able to visually acquire a small aircraft. The aircraft had an approximately 5 foot wingspan and was colored white with no other distinguishable features."

"Due to the small size, the aircraft was determined to be a UAS," the report said.

Another incident from June 27, 2013, said the encountered "aircraft was white in color and approximately the size and shape of a drone or missile," according to the report.

The USS Nimitz UFO incident was a radar-visual encounter of an unidentified flying object by US fighter pilots of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in 2004. Two F/A-18 Super Hornets pilots led by the commander of Strike Fighter Squadron 41 communicated that they saw a flying object. Radar signals were seen by United States Navy ships and aircraft in the area as well.[1]

"Post flight, the controlling agency contacted numerous local UAS operators, but none claimed knowledge of" the unidentified aircraft, the November report said.

"I feel it may only be a matter of time before one of our F/A-18 aircraft has a mid-air collision with an unidentified UAS," one of the authors of a report warned.

"In many ways" drones "pose a greater midair risk than manned aircraft. They are often less visually significant and less radar apparent than manned aircraft," the report said.

Former NASA Director Warns The Next Killer Supervirus Could Be Alien In Nature

Think things are bad now, do you? Well, strap in, because at some point in the future it is going to get a whole lot worse, according to the former director of NASA Ames and the first Mars program director, Scott Hubbard.

Hubbard, now a adjunct professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Stanford University, recently published a paper in the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in which he explains that all those trips we have made and continue to make to outer space are going to come back and bite us in the butt one day when we drag home a supervirus like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

If that sort of claim sounds somewhat familiar, it’s because Hubbard is far from the only scientist who believes in such things.
