You might want to check your sources, unless we are referring to different UAP/AAV encounters off the coast of San Diego, 2004 is "recent," or alien involvement had ever been confirmed. Below is linked the unredacted report by aircrews, systems operators and other individuals involved in the sightings, which I think comprises the bulk of what humanity has informed itself about the incident, making everything else speculation. Still, it's a fascinating read, love the tin hat part.
To me, the report reads like a thinly veiled demonstration for a new weapon system. Why UAP's that could drop from 60,000 feet to 5 feet in an instant, that could routinely endure accelerations in any axis of thousands of G's, would have the time and patience to take turns with a terrestrial iron airplane, is the question people should be asking. If you could go anywhere in the galaxy in 20 minutes, any direction at all and the place you ended up, happened to have cavemen in bamboo kites flying around, would you
really trouble yourself to dogfight them? Wait, I know you would if you were trying to
sell them one of what you got, but why bother selling, you could take whatever you wanted. An earthly contractor, that does not yet have his austere base on Mars, might have to negotiate...
And what a perfect opportunity, US Navy live fire training exercises. Doesn't get better than that eh? With not only a flight if F-18's to play with,
two flights - and they keep saying over and over again, "this stuff doesn't record." It is like they want to make sure the public knows, the military is doing it's best to stay on watch, except for actually using the "record" button. But we got all this flashy, intriguingly grainy FLIR footage to pour over. I hear "performance bonus," in the glee of the unidentified WSO, when upon successfully locking the UAP in his FLIR he exclaims, "Whoo got it!"
Final points, due to the accelerations, these likely are not biologic, making the aliens robotic, or at least equipped with balls of steel, or and most likely, voyeurs, like we would be with these things. Sitting in some swank conference room with a nice Cuban cigar and a wall sized monitor watching our new tictac mow down Navy F-18's. In fact, the entire event, all of it, could be staged for the Russians to make them think we're making deals over advanced technologies - except it is all fake, just like the B-2. Those Russians go absolutely cuckoo over aliens.
How about ufo's in PD3 or MSFS. That would be awesome
How about a tictac? Someone could whip that thing up in a day or two, don't even have to model landing gear because it hovers, of course. Max all the performance sliders, no attached effects, and the texturing would be just polygon color 255, 255, 255. I have a detailed list of specifications right here: Length 46 feet.
