This whole story is complete nonsense. First off, if the US military was in possession of such technology they would NEVER submit a patent for it. Why would they publish the technology to enable others (foreign governments and entities) to easily copy it? The US Government doesn't need to protect themselves from not being able to use the technology if it was real anyways. The federal government of the United States has the "right to use patented inventions without permission"[1].
So yeah, perhaps someone working for the Navy wants to try to patent it so they can make some money from the technology. Well, it is very likely such technology would be top secret classified and any individuals working on it would find themselves in deep trouble for publishing anything, including patents, related to their work.
If this story is true, at least the part about some patent trying to explain the UFO's that have been in the news more of late then it is likely a psyops piece/work and/or is a means to try to quell concerns that there are in fact extraterrestrials visiting earth or things the U.S. government (and others) can't explain.
