it's a story that demands to be told

these are the witnesses of one of

show themselves whatever they were I
35
00:01:57,210 --> 00:02:00,450
don't think they wanted anything really
36
00:01:58,890 --> 00:02:02,600
to do with us they were literally

breaking the laws of physics in my eyes

00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,250
these sailors are here for truth and
39
00:02:05,689 --> 00:02:10,950
vindication and their story goes back

over a decade to a time and place that
41
00:02:10,950 --> 00:02:16,410

84
00:04:35,460 --> 00:04:41,100
ID everything that flew in the skies and
85
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:43,169
I also sat a position called anti-air
86
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:44,400
warfare coordinator where if we ever had
87
00:04:43,169 --> 00:04:46,410
to go to war I was the guy that was
88
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,610
gonna launch the missiles in addition to
89
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:50,010
that was the air intercept controller

when the super hornets take off the

92
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:57,150
and takes him to the fight and get some
93
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:59,520
home safe there was a lot of experience
94
00:04:57,150 --> 00:05:03,120
in that room the captain had 28 years I
95
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,910
had 18 years and the age of ship is our

that inside the combat Information
100
00:05:13,889 --> 00:05:18,720
Center Chief days attention is focused
101
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:21,510
on the group of unknown aircraft on the
102

spy one screen he's trying to identify
103
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:26,340
them I was on watch and we were probably
104
00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:28,200
a hundred miles I forget how far exactly
105
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:31,110
that day we were off the coast of San
106
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:34,310
Diego Southwest kind of off the coast of
107
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:36,599
Mexico Baja and I started to notice
108
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:38,190
these weird tracks that were popping
109
00:05:36,599 --> 00:05:40,830
onto my radar coverage right about and
110
00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:41,940
sank and landing island and the reason
111
00:05:40,830 --> 00:05:43,500
why I say they were weird because they
112
00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:46,260
were appearing in groups of five to ten
113
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:48,650
at a time and they were pretty closely
114
00:05:46,260 --> 00:05:51,180
spaced to each other and there were
115
00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:54,150
28,000 feet going 100 knots tracking
116
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:55,830
south and in the back of my mind I'm
117
00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:57,330
thinking no that's kind of odd I mean
118
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:58,289
what I don't know anything that flies
119
00:05:57,330 --> 00:06:00,330
like that they weren't on
120
00:05:58,289 --> 00:06:03,119
Comair routes the commercial airline
121
00:06:00,330 --> 00:06:05,039
routes I wasn't really that concerned
122
00:06:03,119 --> 00:06:07,949
about him I didn't consider him hostile
123
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:09,449
for any any reason at all another watch
124
00:06:07,949 --> 00:06:12,839
her too as I'm watching the same
125
00:06:09,449 --> 00:06:16,469
formation appeared again and over the
126
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:19,409
course of three four days it probably
127
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:21,330
counted up to that point groups of five
128
00:06:19,409 --> 00:06:25,800
to ten at a time they're probably 5060
129
00:06:21,330 --> 00:06:28,680
tracks by then today Kevin and Gary are
130
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,779
still looking for answers they've known
131
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,740
each other for over a decade since their
132
00:06:30,779 --> 00:06:37,770
Navy days gary was a third class petty
133
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:41,279
officer and fire control man back then I
134
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:45,689
worked on the aegis computer system on a
135
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:49,680
CD 59 guided missile cruiser the USS
136
00:06:45,689 --> 00:06:51,300
Princeton I'm in charge of CC and data
137
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,990
recording and maintaining and operating
138
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:56,430
all the mainframes I run the system
139
00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:58,889
they're both becoming increasingly
140
00:06:56,430 --> 00:07:01,289
frustrated in their attempts to ID the
141
00:06:58,889 --> 00:07:03,809
strange aerial objects which have no
142
00:07:01,289 --> 00:07:06,029
transponders and fit no known flight
143
00:07:03,809 --> 00:07:08,189
profiles the guys they work on this buy
144
00:07:06,029 --> 00:07:09,659
one Bravo radar they they had come
145
00:07:08,189 --> 00:07:11,789
across and said they were needed at the
146
00:07:09,659 --> 00:07:14,519
system down for recalibration because
147
00:07:11,789 --> 00:07:17,099
they were getting clutter or ghost
148
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:19,139
tracks and they needed to recalibrate to
149
00:07:17,099 --> 00:07:20,849
get rid of them and once they did finish
150
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:23,819
all that recalibration and bring it back
151
00:07:20,849 --> 00:07:24,870
up the tracks didn't disappear they were
152
00:07:23,819 --> 00:07:26,759
still there but they were actually
153
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:29,249
sharper and clearer they were doing a
154
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:30,719
diagnostic tests on everything we had to
155
00:07:29,249 --> 00:07:33,240
make sure it was not a system
156
00:07:30,719 --> 00:07:35,539
malfunction and it turned out that it
157
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,279
wasn't these were actually real objects
158
00:07:35,539 --> 00:07:40,110
my had despite the highest spy track
159
00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:41,879
quality the possible on these cop on
160
00:07:40,110 --> 00:07:43,589
these contacts in this situation I
161
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,689
actually started recording on all four
162
00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:47,309
tapes at the same time that way it was
163
00:07:45,689 --> 00:07:49,169
at one continuous loop and I was just
164
00:07:47,309 --> 00:07:51,959
replacing them as they were you know
165
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:55,529
becoming full we failed utterly to
166
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:57,119
identify these things it didn't meet any
167
00:07:55,529 --> 00:07:58,430
of the parameters for anything that was
168
00:07:57,119 --> 00:08:01,400
known
169
00:07:58,430 --> 00:08:04,100
in some cases they seem to descend from
170
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,600
space and then suddenly plunge to near
171
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:08,300
sea level in seconds
172
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,640
coupled with the unidentified nature of
173
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:13,130
the craft and lack of clearance these
174
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,990
extreme flight observations are very
175
00:08:13,130 --> 00:08:17,150
troubling to the crew assigned to

188
00:08:56,050 --> 00:08:59,890
determined I was going to become
189
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,210
concerned about these objects is we were
190
00:08:59,890 --> 00:09:04,420
getting ready to launch a whole bunch of
191
00:09:01,210 --> 00:09:07,150

00:09:04,420 --> 00:09:09,580
Eagle climbs out to 20,000 feet and
193
00:09:07,150 --> 00:09:11,830
heads to the cap station about 40 miles
194
00:09:09,580 --> 00:09:14,140
south of the carrier the cap is a

back and today is the first time senior
214
00:10:11,450 --> 00:10:16,760
chief day as jets in the air that can

intercept the mysterious aircraft seen

00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,840
these contacts i'm captain smith orders
217
00:10:18,980 --> 00:10:22,280
me to intercept one on the side just i I
218
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,550
went back to the console I picked the
219
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,990
closest one that was to us and I was
220
00:10:25,550 --> 00:10:29,510
gonna I would had intended to let the
221
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:32,750
Hawkeye do the intercept because they
222
00:10:29,510 --> 00:10:34,550
already had control is easier they
223
00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:37,400
briefed the captain and they agreed to
224
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:39,860
send the Hornets the air intercept

00:11:04,589 --> 00:11:08,880
have been frustrated in their attempts

00:11:06,570 --> 00:11:11,130
to get a radar return on the unknown

00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,459
aerial target the Princeton is tracking
232
00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:39,360
even with their 24 foot radar dish they
233
00:11:14,459 --> 00:11:41,850
can't get a lock on the object or that
234

00:11:48,209 --> 00:11:52,589
I'm just telling the aircrew where the
239
00:11:49,950 --> 00:11:54,089
object is the bearing from them and the
240
00:11:52,589 --> 00:11:56,170
range from him and the altitude so they
241
00:11:54,089 --> 00:11:59,240
can drive towards it

249
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:51,880
point-blank asks the fast to go flight
250
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:54,250
if they were carrying any type of
251
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,190

and the last thing we wanted to do is
257
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:09,850
start shooting stuff now the controllers
258
00:13:07,570 --> 00:13:12,610
have the pilots undivided attention
259
00:13:09,850 --> 00:13:16,080
normally the squadron doesn't carry live

they see nothing unusual they're on

what the merge plot means on the radar
272
00:14:23,179 --> 00:14:27,139
you got two objects in the same vertical
273
00:14:25,189 --> 00:14:29,869
piece of sky so when I'm looking at the
274
00:14:27,139 --> 00:14:32,410
2d display it looks like a 1:1 radar
275
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:32,410
blob now

00:14:50,579 --> 00:14:54,809
as the Super Hornets approached the
278

target they see a disturbance on the
279
00:14:54,809 --> 00:15:00,600
ocean surface it's about the size of a
280
00:14:57,709 --> 00:15:32,369
737 and it looks like something could be
281
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:34,410
just below the surface soon as he got to
282
00:15:32,369 --> 00:15:36,839
the merge claw position the object that
283
00:15:34,410 --> 00:15:39,959
he was intercepted dropped from 28,000
284
00:15:36,839 --> 00:15:41,910
feet down to 50 feet above the water in
285
00:15:39,959 --> 00:15:45,569
point seven eight seconds as I found out
286
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:47,519
later the next day as the super hornets
287
00:15:45,569 --> 00:15:50,009
get closer to the ocean disturbance he
288
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:52,709
suddenly spots another craft above it
289
00:15:50,009 --> 00:15:55,829
a much smaller white object with an
290
00:15:52,709 --> 00:15:58,429
oblong shape hovering then darting just
291
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:58,429
above the ways
292
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:08,990
the object is moving around erratically
293
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:12,680
seemingly focused on the Whitewater
294
00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:15,170
the shape is similar to a tic-tac it's
295
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,680
smooth like porcelain it's not an
296
00:16:15,170 --> 00:16:17,680

00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:47,899
mirroring the turn rate of fast Eagle
301
00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:56,990
the object is now at his 3 o'clock
302
00:16:53,550 --> 00:16:59,639
position as he continues to turn with it
303
00:16:56,990 --> 00:17:01,860
we had external communications in the
304
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:03,749
speaker in combat so everyone can listen
305
00:17:01,860 --> 00:17:05,880
to it and the next thing I hear on the
306
00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:06,900

as he maneuvers his hornet to get behind
311

the unknown craft it's about the size of
312
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:35,179
an f-18 about 47 feet long and it has no
313
00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:37,549
links as the dogfight unfolds he quickly
314
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:39,620
turns and dives to bring his Jets nose
315
00:17:37,549 --> 00:17:41,830
ahead of the object to close the
316
00:17:39,620 --> 00:17:41,830

gone beyond the horizon in the blink of
321
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:33,340
an eye as fast eagle returns to the area
322
00:18:31,030 --> 00:18:36,550
of the ocean disturbance the object is

00:18:33,340 --> 00:18:44,050
gone and the sea is once again calm soon
324
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:45,820
they land on the ship back on board
325

00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:49,750
listening to the radio transmissions

from fast Eagle the crew has been

tracking the intercepts on their advance

00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:10,530
voices and he knows this is no drill I
334
00:19:08,270 --> 00:19:13,559
had a good friend who who flew on the

00:19:10,530 --> 00:19:15,809
hawk eyes we could call him Roger to
336
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:17,010
protect his identity because he didn't
337
00:19:15,809 --> 00:19:20,669
want to come forward at this time but he
338
00:19:17,010 --> 00:19:22,710
wanted to contribute to the story to
339
00:19:20,669 --> 00:19:25,230
verify that it actually happened there
340
00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:27,120
are five people in the airplane Roger
341
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:29,070
would have been seating in the the radar

00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:31,890
officer seat which is towards the back
343
00:19:29,070 --> 00:19:33,150
middle of the plane the side of each one
344
00:19:31,890 --> 00:19:35,010
of them or behind him depending how the

00:21:00,220 --> 00:21:06,430
the tic-tac UFOs reacted to the incoming
373
00:21:03,610 --> 00:21:09,190
fighter jets all the objects in the sky
374
00:21:06,430 --> 00:21:12,130
they all dropped out of this guy from
375
00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:14,920
28,000 feet down to 50 feet based on the
376
00:21:12,130 --> 00:21:17,860
spy one Bravo radar system the object
377
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:21,190
descended at over 24,000 miles an hour
378
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:23,050
that was unbelievable because normally
379
00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:24,940
what would happen if that if a normal
380
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:26,860
aircraft did that first I would fly
381
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:29,500
apart it wouldn't be able to withstand
382
00:21:26,860 --> 00:21:30,970
the g-forces and there would be multiple
383
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,740
sonic booms it would be boo boo boo boo
384
00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:38,670
boo boo boo boo boo men this did not
385
00:21:32,740 --> 00:21:41,680
make any sense from what I observed I
386
00:21:38,670 --> 00:21:43,180
saw that it went from you know right
387
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,790
around between twenty-five and thirty
388
00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:47,560
thousand feet down to sea level
389
00:21:44,790 --> 00:21:50,410
sometimes they'd be going slower than an
390
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,360
object should you know to stay in the
391
00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:55,870
air and sometimes they would be moving
392
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:58,810
faster than an object should from a
393
00:21:55,870 --> 00:22:01,330
standstill so you know going high
394
00:21:58,810 --> 00:22:04,360
altitudes low altitudes very quickly you
395
00:22:01,330 --> 00:22:06,660
know just staying in mobile in my mind I
396
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:08,650
say can good god it's raining UFOs
397
00:22:06,660 --> 00:22:12,610
because that's what it looked like what
398
00:22:08,650 --> 00:22:17,020
it won't - - - - it was up quite amazing
399
00:22:12,610 --> 00:22:19,450
a USS Princeton senior sonar operator
400
00:22:17,020 --> 00:22:22,210
has come forward to say the ship did not
401
00:22:19,450 --> 00:22:24,549
have any unidentified sonar contacts
402
00:22:22,210 --> 00:22:30,340
during the encounters the towed sonar
403
00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:32,920
array was not in use at the time the USS
404
00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:35,320
Louisville a los angeles-class nuclear
405
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,720
fast attack submarine was also
406
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:40,510
patrolling the area the former captain
407
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,210
of the sub reported they had no unknown
408
00:22:40,510 --> 00:22:45,850
sonar contacts during the events of that
409
00:22:43,210 --> 00:22:49,660
week despite the observations by the
410
00:22:45,850 --> 00:22:52,000
pilots after the intercepts both Kevin
411
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:54,070
and Gary climbed up to the ship's bridge
412
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,080
wing to get a better view of the objects
413
00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:57,580
through the binoculars yeah we'd go up
414
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,410
to the bridge wing and look look at him
415
00:22:57,580 --> 00:23:01,510
through the big eyes which is a heavily
416
00:22:59,410 --> 00:23:03,400
magnifying binoculars that are out on
417
00:23:01,510 --> 00:23:05,590
the bridge wing of the ship here's my
418
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,600
opportunity and we intercepted a UFO I
419
00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:10,179
think even when I was off watch I was
420
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,470
usually up in combat anyway and I was
421
00:23:10,179 --> 00:23:13,809
sitting at the console I just picked the
422
00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:16,120
closest object to us and I got the
423
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:17,590
relative bearing from the ship slave
424
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,750
over to the relative bearing of about
425
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:20,440
the right altitude and saw this white
426
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:23,980
light in the sky
427
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:26,049
the movements were smooth too erratic
428
00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:28,780
yeah they just moved from one point to
429
00:23:26,049 --> 00:23:31,960
another it was always a very sharp and
430
00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:34,090
clean movement they it always felt like
431
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,640
a constant speed not like speeding up
432
00:23:34,090 --> 00:23:38,919
just you needed to go to that point and
433
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,280
it decided to do it at this speed and
434
00:23:38,919 --> 00:23:44,080
then it would just go from nothing to
435
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,190
the speed they were gonna go and then
436
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,190
stop at the next point
437
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,750
meanwhile back on the Nimitz aviation
438
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,150
tech Patrick Hughes is working to secure
439
00:23:52,750 --> 00:23:57,970
the classified data recorders from the
440
00:23:55,150 --> 00:24:00,670
Hawkeye that encountered the tic-tac we
441
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:02,080
pull out the hard drives we call them
442
00:24:00,670 --> 00:24:04,290
our MCS that call bricks because they
443
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,730
physically heavy like brick
444
00:24:04,290 --> 00:24:07,360
they contain the software to run the
445
00:24:06,730 --> 00:24:10,540
airplane
446
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:12,910
and they also record a lot of the data
447
00:24:10,540 --> 00:24:14,680
that the aircrew sees during the flight
448
00:24:12,910 --> 00:24:17,190
so we take the removable stuff we take
449
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,720
it out we go downstairs back to our shop
450
00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:22,300
Patrick's job involves tracking the
451
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,460
chain of custody of the hard drives we
452
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,870
open up the safe put them in a safe
453
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:28,930
we've got tracking sheets so we know
454
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:30,430
what what our MCS are what airplane we
455
00:24:28,930 --> 00:24:31,510
know who signed him out who put him in
456
00:24:30,430 --> 00:24:34,810
the airplane who took him out of the
457
00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:37,090
airplane as he gets ready to wrap up the
458
00:24:34,810 --> 00:24:40,090
mission there's a knock on the door our
459
00:24:37,090 --> 00:24:41,530
commanding officers there two other guys
460
00:24:40,090 --> 00:24:43,360
in flight suit so I'm assuming were Air
461
00:24:41,530 --> 00:24:45,160
Force officers because pretty sure that
462
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,930
seam segment they had on but they were
463
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,310
not on the ship earlier I did not see
464
00:24:46,930 --> 00:24:52,060
him come on the ship so I'm not sure how
465
00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:54,190
they got there but the skipper basically
466
00:24:52,060 --> 00:24:56,890
said I need the bricks off the flight we
467
00:24:54,190 --> 00:24:59,710
open the safe we put him in bags he took
468
00:24:56,890 --> 00:25:04,960
them he took his two anonymous officers
469
00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:07,750
and left the officers with the
470
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,630
classified hard drives in hand soon
471
00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:13,560
board an HS sixty Seahawk helicopter and
472
00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:13,560
leave Nimitz
473
00:25:16,460 --> 00:25:22,009
soon thereafter petty officer Voorhies
474
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:24,110
has his own visit by unknown officials
475
00:25:22,009 --> 00:25:28,220
on the Princeton once they landed and
476
00:25:24,110 --> 00:25:30,320
everybody got off got off then about 20
477
00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:32,779
minutes later I got called in to have
478
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:36,230
all my data recording tapes turned over
479
00:25:32,779 --> 00:25:39,820
and then also told that I needed to
480
00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:45,049
reload CEC because it had been wiped so
481
00:25:39,820 --> 00:25:46,340
it was so I turned over all the tapes
482
00:25:45,049 --> 00:25:48,350
and then they also said if there's any
483
00:25:46,340 --> 00:25:50,330
even blank tapes to erase anything else
484
00:25:48,350 --> 00:25:51,889
that's in the shop well they were
485
00:25:50,330 --> 00:25:52,879
plainclothes people that came aboard on
486
00:25:51,889 --> 00:25:55,039
the helicopter
487
00:25:52,879 --> 00:25:57,379
it was my chain of command that took
488
00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:59,360
that took control of the tapes for me
489
00:25:57,379 --> 00:26:01,009
the helo left with them after that
490
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,740
because we went right back to flight ops
491
00:26:01,009 --> 00:26:06,889
the link between the tic tacs and these
492
00:26:03,740 --> 00:26:09,679
men is unknown how they became aware of
493
00:26:06,889 --> 00:26:12,409
the UFO encounters and how they arrived
494
00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:15,639
so quickly on board after the event is
495
00:26:12,409 --> 00:26:15,639
also a mystery
496
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,260
the video you are now watching is the
497
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:24,140
actual gun camera FLIR footage of the
498
00:26:21,260 --> 00:26:26,660
tic-tac taken by a later flight this is
499
00:26:24,140 --> 00:26:27,200
the first video ever released by the US
500
00:26:26,660 --> 00:26:31,720
government
501
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:34,700
showing military planes engaging UFOs
502
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,550
the advanced targeting pod known as
503
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:42,410
actual works in both TV mode and
504
00:26:37,550 --> 00:26:45,980
infrared bow the film reveals no control
505
00:26:42,410 --> 00:26:48,620
services no exhaust plume a uniform heat
506
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:51,680
signature and no visible means of
507
00:26:48,620 --> 00:26:54,260
propulsion Gary and his shipmates saw
508
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,450
the flare film on their consoles and on
509
00:26:54,260 --> 00:26:58,340
the secret land aboard the Princeton it
510
00:26:56,450 --> 00:27:01,190
was a much clearer video you could see
511
00:26:58,340 --> 00:27:04,400
the shape of the ship you can see it you
512
00:27:01,190 --> 00:27:06,620
know moving I tried to go and get a disc
513
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,450
to come make a copy of it and by the
514
00:27:06,620 --> 00:27:10,880
time I got back it was already off of
515
00:27:08,450 --> 00:27:12,710
our hard drive off the secret land you
516
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,590
know had no access to it whatsoever
517
00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:17,960
petty officer Jason Turner also saw a
518
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:20,950
much higher resolution version of the
519
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:23,600
FLIR film showing strange appendages
520
00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:26,300
extending from the object they did have
521
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,280
some protruding at the bottom of it I
522
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:30,710
couldn't tell if they were curled back
523
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,960
or straight down Jason says the video
524
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:35,420
was approximately 10 minutes in length
525
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,760
and much longer than the video that has
526
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:40,030
been released I saw this video playing
527
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,140
and I'd asked him this what we're
528
00:27:40,030 --> 00:27:43,610
training her foot was part of this
529
00:27:42,140 --> 00:27:47,690
training that we're going through and he
530
00:27:43,610 --> 00:27:51,020
said no this is real life and when I saw
531
00:27:47,690 --> 00:27:53,840
it it was a very clear image a very
532
00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:59,570
clear video and this thing was going
533
00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:01,970
berserk like making turns like it's
534
00:27:59,570 --> 00:28:04,160
incredible the amount of g-forces that
535
00:28:01,970 --> 00:28:08,240
it would put on a human that this thing
536
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:09,320
was doing the the Jets were like trying
537
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,370
to trail this thing and it would just
538
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,190
run off and leave them they were just
539
00:28:10,370 --> 00:28:15,350
gone and then it would come back and
540
00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:17,539
then you would see it anyway I mean it
541
00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:19,970
was it made a
542
00:28:17,539 --> 00:28:21,619
a maneuver like they were chasing it
543
00:28:19,970 --> 00:28:24,619
straight on it was going with them
544
00:28:21,619 --> 00:28:26,419
this thing stopped turning just gone I
545
00:28:24,619 --> 00:28:37,009
mean it that's the only way to describe
546
00:28:26,419 --> 00:28:40,070
what it looked like just 11 years later
547
00:28:37,009 --> 00:28:49,309
fighter jets from USS Roosevelt filmed
548
00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:51,169
this anomalous object in 2015 like the
549
00:28:49,309 --> 00:28:53,599
nimitz encounter they too were
550
00:28:51,169 --> 00:28:57,999
conducting routine training when fleets
551
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:57,999
of UFOs were encountered by the violence
552
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:05,970
the limits encounters remain cloaked
553
00:29:02,490 --> 00:29:08,610
secrecy for over 13 years the firsthand
554
00:29:05,970 --> 00:29:10,710
testimony about UFO sightings is
555
00:29:08,610 --> 00:29:13,140
practically unheard of for military
556
00:29:10,710 --> 00:29:15,690
service members thanks to the brave and
557
00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:17,880
honest accounts of the sailors and naval
558
00:29:15,690 --> 00:29:20,640
aviators who have come forward to relate
559
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:24,030
their experiences and of the remarkable
560
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:26,490
videos they filmed that day the silence
561
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:30,300
has been broken I dealt with this on my
562
00:29:26,490 --> 00:29:32,570
own for many many years and it was not a
563
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:35,640
very pleasant journey to go through
564
00:29:32,570 --> 00:29:38,940
there's no one really believes you but
565
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,440
now things have changed and anyone out
566
00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:43,320
there that struggling with this and
567
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,210
wants to reach out there is now a group
568
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:50,190
that you can reach out to and get help
569
00:29:45,210 --> 00:29:51,720
and support and vindication it's
570
00:29:50,190 --> 00:29:53,540
honestly been a little over leaving to
571
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,740
be able to actually talk about it and
572
00:29:53,540 --> 00:30:03,420
how important that event really was and
573
00:29:57,740 --> 00:30:05,010
not just keep blowing it off there's
574
00:30:03,420 --> 00:30:06,990
people out here that you know really
575
00:30:05,010 --> 00:30:10,260
need to know and want to know and you
576
00:30:06,990 --> 00:30:11,550
have the support of me and Kevin the
577
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:13,620
other thing my other shipmates too
578
00:30:11,550 --> 00:30:18,570
coming forward and decided to talk about
579
00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:20,880
it my role is to describe the story and
580
00:30:18,570 --> 00:30:22,710
convince people that yes this event
581
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,440
really happened and these objects were
582
00:30:22,710 --> 00:30:28,140
really real but what they are I have no
583
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,840
idea it is something I want to know what
584
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:32,040
it is that's all reason I chose to come
585
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,140
forward to contribute to the story
586
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,510
because there is a story here there is
587
00:30:34,140 --> 00:30:38,280
more information here more of us that
588
00:30:36,510 --> 00:30:40,440
talk about it the better chance of the
589
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,660
full story coming together and it's
590
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,300
almost it's vindication for us that
591
00:30:42,660 --> 00:30:47,190
other people are looking into it and you
592
00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:50,450
know it we finally tell our story and
593
00:30:47,190 --> 00:30:50,450
people listen
594
00:30:50,700 --> 00:30:55,290
as we strive to understand these
595
00:30:52,950 --> 00:30:58,080
encounters and come to terms with what
596
00:30:55,290 --> 00:31:00,240
they mean there's something far beyond
597
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:04,350
the horizon and the limits of our
598
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:06,650
comprehension waiting waiting for all of
599
00:31:04,350 --> 00:31:06,650
us
600
00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:15,490
you
601
00:32:21,610 --> 00:32:23,670
