Without going into all the details. These craft exist but keep in mind, the military has always treated them as nonsense - at least in their statements to the public. Another part of the cover story is that they are so bizarre or alien, that people would panic. More nonsense.The Edwards Air Force Base UFO incident in Oct 65 is pretty remarkable. I know someone stationed at George AFB when it occurred which is very close. The base’s were placed on full alert.
Its one thing when civilians report sightings, its another when the entire west coast military and radar is on point with numerous eye witness accounts and multiple recordings.
I don’t know about aliens, the UFOs are a fact of life. Who operates them is unknown.
The entire incident was documented with written reports, radar photos, and audio made by Air Force personnel while they were actually viewing the objects, flying after the objects, and considered taking action against the perceived threat.
If you think they were man made on earth listen to the eyewitness account of Capt Clark as he was scrambled and chased them. They made a right turn and disappeared into “outer space” on him.

Over the years, various hints that the “secret” would be revealed have been published. The end result - nothing. Nothing is revealed. Cities haven’t been destroyed. Rays from these objects have not melted cars, etc.
The other big distraction - panic - is also nonsense. I have a book dated 1950, and titled How to Survive an Atomic Bomb by Richard Gerstell, Consultant, Civil Defense Office. It tells people, in calm, reasonable language, how to survive an atomic bomb. “If there’s Atomic Warfare this book may save your life!” There’s even a simple drawing of a bomb shelter that could be dug in anyone’s yard. Yes, you and the family could survive. Somehow, that never happened. Long before the arrival of ICBMs with bigger and more numerous warheads.
In the 1950s, a replacement for the U-2 spyplane (which by the way, was never painted to reflect sunlight, since it was not meant to be seen) was being considered. It was a flying disc. This shape had zero radar return. The military was deadly serious about what its own personnel reported, and issued specific instructions and warnings about reporting sightings. For those with an interest, see: JANAP(A), JANAP(B) and JANAP(C), along with the joint US/Canadian CIRVIS/MERINT reporting system. Violating these instructions included the penalties listed under the Espionage Act.
In January 1969, the Condon Report was released. The Air Force had contracted with the University of Colorado to put the nail in the coffin - for the public - regarding UFOs. Their conclusion? The study of UFOs had resulted in no gain in scientific knowledge and further study was not warranted. Brought to you by the same people who brought you the Swamp Gas explanation (mid-1960s).
The discs were large enough to carry photo-reconnaissance equipment and could have been fitted with a small atomic warhead. In the beginning, the Russians were believed to have the equipment, which is very likely. Did we use them? Of course, for photo-reconnaissance. As far as any strange maneuvers, research was going on the late 1940s into dealing with that. The research indicated a way was found to deal with high-G turns and such. Secret space program? No.
