        Honestly, it's less scary to think it has interstellar origins than to think this technology belongs to another government in secret

        FYI, you wouldn't believe the bizarre things the CIA and other intelligence agencies have gotten into, including UFO's. It's not conspiracy theory! U may like this>> http://osintdaily.blogspot.com/2016/02/conspiracy-theories-or-weird-things.html …

        Lightweight military-grade drone prototype? Seems like a logical explanation.

        No plume, no rotors, not a drone.

        Rotors would be shielded. The pilot said there was churn in the ocean where it was hovering after all. No plume = not gas powered. Could be nuclear-powered. There have been rumors of those for years.

        Got it. Rotors would work in our atmosphere. Doesn't work in space, however.

        I think the article said 80,000ft. That’s high, but there are government aircraft that have done 90,000+ft for decades. That is still within the atmosphere.

        Correct. Very high altitude. I know of zero rotor craft that can go that high due to the thin atmosphere. Jet and rocket propelled, no problem. But they provide a high heat signature and plumes.
