Fighter pilot flies alongside 'UFO' - video

I think it's pretty safe to assume this is some sort of UAV. It's not like the Navy is in the habit of releasing footage taken from the cockpit of it's fighters plainly showing "alien crafts"....

LOL, I agree.
The more I look at it, the more I think it could be a variant of an X-47, which is being developed for the US Navy.

UAV. The contrail is a dead giveaway. Plus the smooth banking turns. And the fact that the F/A 18 seemed to have no problem keeping up with it.
 
Ya, the contrail makes this a definite man-made. The flight even looks like some very standard test maneuvering.
Is it just me, or is it quickly becoming impossible to differentiate what used to be a UFO, and what is now a hugely diverse privatized industry of UAVs,...

UAV overload,...


PS just to nit-pick:

Absolutely. Plus the F/A 18 has its wings out for SLOW flight, not swept back for supersonic.

The F-18s are all fixed wing aircraft (although they do fold to facilitate storage on aircraft carriers).

I think you may be thinking of an F-14.

You can say that again. I can see the media doing stories like these, where they pass off videos / pictures of UAVs as UFOs, working both ways for the military. Sightings of secret experimental craft can be reported as a UFOs, thus helping the military keep the programs secret a little longer (similar to how the CIA encouraged reports of the U-2 as a UFO). On the flip side, "real" UFOs can be explained away as UAVs by the debunkers. This is a win / win for the powers that be. ::)
