Now we're talking, UFOs!
US Pacific Air Forces responded with three F-22s to an incident reported off Hawaii on Sunday afternoon.
The military said it could not provide details on the incident, but did confirm it was not a training exercise and was done in response to an FAA request.
Two F-22 Raptors took off from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam at about 4 p.m. Sunday. A third F-22 then took off about an hour later.
Hawaii News Now reached out to federal authorities and are waiting for additional details on what prompted the response.

Drug smugglers, rogue drones, foreign military, aliens, interdimensional manifestations? What an exciting time to be playing this simulation!

Officials today would not disclose why three missile-armed Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 fighters were scrambled Sunday afternoon for an “irregular air patrol” requested by the Federal Aviation Administration.
“The 154th Fighter Wing launched two F-22 Raptors from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam at approximately 4 p.m.,” Pacific Air Forces said in an email. “A third was launched at approximately 5 p.m.”
The Hickam-based Air Force command added that the FAA requested that U.S. Indo-Pacific Command “conduct an irregular air patrol and the situation resolved, prompting the fighters and a KC-135 Stratotanker (a refueling plane) to return to base. We cannot discuss further specifics of the situation.”
Indo-Pacific Command at Camp H.M. Smith referred questions about the incident to its subordinate Pacific Air Forces command.
The FAA was equally cryptic: “We have a close working relationship with the military,” spokesman Ian Gregor said in an email in response to a query asking why the military jets were requested.
In 2017, two armed F-22s were scrambled from Hickam to escort an American Airlines flight bound for Honolulu after a 25-year-old Turkish national opened a restricted door leading to the airfield ramp in Los Angeles and was arrested, but later was allowed to board the flight to Honolulu, officials said at the time.
A few hours into the flight, passengers told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the man was restrained by a flight attendant and passengers as he tried to rush into the first-class section with a blanket over his head.
In Honolulu, the man was handcuffed and escorted off by FBI agents.
The Air Force has F-22s, pilots, maintainers and weapons crews on call 24 hours a day at Hickam to respond to air threats to the Hawaiian islands as part of an air defense alert mission.

A dramatic rendering of the possible encounter:

In case anyone is still unaware, the Hickham F-22s took off due to a large Russian naval and air exercise that's taking place a few hundred miles from Hawaii.

I've not seen a response to this yet, but can't help thinking this was Venus and not a large NASA balloon.
