With respect to the pending patent I cited above, this from Forbes:
The U.S. Navy has patented technology to create mid-air images to fool infrared and other sensors. This builds on many years of laser-plasma research and offers a game-changing method of protecting aircraft from heat-seeking missiles. It may also provide a clue about the source of some recent UFO sightings by military aircraft....A more sophisticated approach uses an intense, ultra-short, self-focusing laser pulse to create a glowing filament or channel of plasma, an effect discovered in the 1990s. Known as laser-induced plasma filaments (LIPF) these can be created at some distance from the laser for tens or hundreds of meters. Because LIPFs conduct electricity, they have been investigated as a means of triggering lightning or creating a lightning gun....

Why would the navy ‘broadcast’ something like this with a patent?
You can bet the Russians and Chinese would be all over this if true.
I would expect game changing technology like this to be kept under wraps.
As people smarter than me have pointed out, most patents serve little purpose but insofar as national security goes, I would assume zero purpose.

That's a possible explanation, but with respect to the Nimitz encounter which was way back in 2004, not sure if this technology was available back then.
Its definitely not of importance wrt national security then because the smart people on the other side would have jumped on it. Just my view FWIW.
From the patent text:
The System and Method for Laser-Induced Plasma for Infrared Homing Missile Countermeasure is assigned to the United States Government and is available for licensing for commercial purposes. Licensing and technical inquiries may be directed to the Office of Research and Technical Applications, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific, Code 72120, San Diego, Calif., 92152; voice (619) 553-5118; email ssc_pac_T2@navy.mil. Reference Navy Case Number 102680.
So, if you're interested for the ultimate speaker, just fire off an email ;-)

Can this Navy patent explain away many UAP sightings? - Sandboxx
And according to this article below, the Russians have been experimenting with Plasmoids for quite a while...though the article is a Lyndon LaRouche EIR News service publication.

You obviously didn’t click the link, otherwise you would have told me it was bad.

You don’t have a source for these assertions because there isn’t one. You are laundering speculation as fact.

Time flies when you have a defense budget.
No pun intended.

Before that even.
Radar spoofing came right after radar.
"Chaff, originally called Window by the British and Düppel by the Second World War era German Luftwaffe (from the Berlin suburb where it was first developed), is a radar countermeasure in which aircraft or other targets spread a cloud of small, thin pieces of aluminium, metallized glass fibre or plastic, which either appears as a cluster of primary targets on radar screens or swamps the screen with multiple returns."

September 1992 last test, last one that no one noticed probably nil since there are at least a score of high quality seismic stations in the US.
There are some of us baby boomers who suspect that the above ground nuclear tests may have led our cohort to have had some unusually high cancer experience.
