Hello and welcome to the program at uofl morning.
Today's topic is at now, famous UFO encounter with the Navy
Pilots that happened back in 2004 and an interview appeared
in Popular Mechanics. A couple days ago in November
12th, 2019. No Popular Mechanics, typically
takes a deep bunker position on a lot of these issues and just
flat-out calls and conspiracy theories or whatever.
But I have to take my hats off to him.
This time gentleman, named Tim MacMillan, the conducted this
interview, and wrote a pretty decent article on it.
And I want to take a look at that right here.
And it begins the article off with the title to witness and
you can go to popular mechanics.com and read this.
I have a link also at UFO morning, dot blog.
W.com and in there, I have a link to the Newsmax site, which
has a condensed, very condensed rendition of the article, which
is pretty decent to. And he starts off by saying,
what exactly did the Navy encounter 15 years ago off the
southern California coast. When fighter pilots spotted a
UFO? These men were there too, and
it's time they tell their side of the story and now he's going
to conduct this interview with five other guys that were There.
And as part of the battle group, that actually saw the radar data
involving this UFO encounters. He says, the five, men share an
easy rapport with each other playfully ribbing one another
while also communicating a deep sense of mutual respect.
It's clear. They all share the bond of
having once served in the armed forces, yet for Gary Voorhees.
Jason Turner, PJ Hughes Brian Wiglet and Kevin Day They
assembled together in a private group chat by Popular Mechanics.
Something much bigger ties them together Beyond simply serving
in the u.s. Navy.
These men also share a connection of being witnesses.
To one of the most compelling UFO cases in modern history.
The Nimitz UFO encounters any event that the Navy recently
confirmed, indeed, involved unidentified aerial phenomena.
The author goes on to say, largely overshadowed by a grainy
black-and-white video and a former top gun fighter pilot
eyewitness. These veterans offer new and
intriguing details on what occurred with the Navy's.
Strike Carrier Group 11 as it sailed roughly 100 miles off,
the southern, California coast in 2004 details, that a former
career intelligence. Agent who investigated the
Nimitz encounter, while at the Pentagon can neither confirm nor
deny or even discuss with Popular Mechanics, ultimately
these five men. The other Nimitz Witnesses could
be key to understanding an event that a leading.
Aviation defense expert says, likely was an arse.
Well, folks, this is good news because we've been waiting for
quite a while for these other Nimitz witnesses to come
forward. So far all we've heard about is
from, you know, one or two pilots.
Basically we've become celebrity Witnesses.
And we have to consider that the sighting of these UFOs didn't
take place in the context of one or two pilots just out for You
know, a joyride or just out for a particular Mission.
Say the context of these UFO, sightings and encounters.
Rather took place in the context of an advanced battle.
Maybe battle group out running their Fleet through its paces
and preparing for any possible eventuality including War.
So, there were a lot of witnesses to this UFO encounter
and finally, we have five of these guys that come forward.
It and really quite shocked lie to me.
Popular, Mechanics is done a pretty decent job of listening
to these guys and hearing their side of the story is
eyewitnesses to what they saw. It's just like, if there was a
crime, he wouldn't just want the eyewitness.
If you had, you had multiple eyewitnesses.
You'd want to hear all of them, you'd want to hear their
perspective of each witness from where they were at.
And this is what we get with these five guys and it really
adds a lot of value. To what we're hearing to the
account of this. Now, famous UFO, encounter that
Tom DeLonge, and his company was pretty much given a monopoly to
profit from actually. I mean you can't find a video
that you FL without their watermark on it.
When this actually should be public property if there's going
to be a watermark on it. It should be the US
government's, not some private company but I digress.
Now he goes on and speaks about that.
What they All the intercept and it says, stationed on the USS
Princeton a ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser.
This is another ship in the battle group.
Is an image Carrier Group went under way in early, November
2004 for a routine training exercise.
This would be the last time for petty officer 3rd class Gary,
Voorhees would set sail aboard and Navy vessel Having already
done almost six years in the Navy, including two combat
tours, or he's was ready to transition to life outside the
world of passionless gray, metal poles and Bast.
Leavening sees the group was going to be deploying in a few
months. And there was a bunch of new
systems like the spy-1 Bravo radar for he's tells Popular
Mechanics. Okay, let's just stop right
there. And I Popular Mechanics is just
as just described this as I run into the mill exercise.
That's not actually True. What does mr.
He's just say he says quote the group was going to be deploying
and a few months and there was a bunch of new systems like the
spy-1 Bravo radar. Now I'm not sure what Popular
Mechanics. How they Define the word
run-of-the-mill that phrase. But when you're testing out
brand new radar, that's not run-of-the-mill.
And this is what a lot of people thought these UFOs were there to
check where there to check out that radar.
He says, it was really about getting all of, all the Kinks
out. While chatting with some of the
Princeton's radar text for he says he heard they were getting
ghost tracks and clutter on The Radars for Voorhees.
The victims only system technician for the
state-of-the-art, Cooperative engagement capability are ceg
and Aegis combat system. News of these systems, possibly
malfunctioning was, especially concerning Did you get that?
He was the only system tax. Oh, this guy's not a dummy.
I mean, this is a smart guy and is a witness.
You should really be listening to it, okay.
Going on fearing the ship's brand-new, a and Sly spy.
One be passive. Radar system was malfunctioning,
Voorhees, says the air control systems were taken down and
recalibrated it in an effort to clear out what's assumed to be
false radar returns. So they were seeing these UFOs
and it was so upsetting they could not believe their eyes,
they couldn't believe the equipment get that.
Okay. The article goes on once we
finished all the recalibration and brought it back up, the
tracks were actually sharper and clearer or he says sometimes
they'd be at an altitude of 1000 or 60,000 feet other times
they'd be around 30,000 feet going like 100 knots Their radar
cross sections, didn't match any known aircraft.
You are 100% red. No squawk.
No identification Friend or Foe is what they call iff.
Setting a Preston's combat information center are.
See, I see I see operations specialist, Senior Chief, Kevin
day. Let's ask with let's task with a
critical role of protecting the airspace around the strike
group. My job was to, man, The Radars
and ID, everything that flew in the skies, they said in the
documentary film, The Nimitz encounters On or around November
10th. 2004 roughly 100 miles off the coast of San Diego Day.
Begin noticing strange radar tracks near the area of San
Clemente Island. The reason why I say they're
weird is because they were appearing in groups of five to
ten at a time and they were pretty closely spaced together
and there were 28,000 feet. Going 100 knots tracking South,
they said in the documentary. Well, this goes back to what we
talked about yesterday with the UFO fleets.
And you know, when you look back at a lot of the media coverage
of this Nemesis incident you hear about one or two of one or
two. Yep, UFOs.
What you're not hearing about is that they actually were
appearing in groups of five to ten.
So what was spotted by the Nimitz battle group wasn't one
or two. Tic Tacs.
What was spotted was a fleet of UFOs.
In, this is becoming more and more common.
Now, going back to the article in another YouTube clip, right?
Ryan week lit, the former leading Petty, former leading
petty officer and PowerPlant specialist for the sh-60 be
Seahawk. Helicopter recall, the tone of
board, the missile Cruiser at the time, Senior Chief de his
name was being called or the comms no bullshit.
Every two minutes wiggle. It said, I recall, hearing
something like a big real world scenario is going on, but I just
didn't really understand. All day and their Princeton's
air traffic controllers, continue to monitor the strange
radar returns more, says heaping in to take the opportunity to
use a ship's, Advanced tracking systems, through catch a glimpse
of whatever these objects War. Are you getting the feeling that
these things were really getting people's attention?
It was almost like an Independence Day scene or
something. These guys were seeing a fleet
of UFOs on the radar. It's very clear.
All right. Back to the article again when
they'd shoot, Show up on a radar.
For he said, I'd get the relative bearing and then run up
to the bridge and look through a pair of heavily magnified
binoculars. In the direction, the returns
were coming from, describing what he saw during the daytime
Voorhees says objects, were too far off to make out any
distinguishing features, however, he could clearly see
something moving. Erratically in the distance, I
couldn't make out details, but they just be hovering there that
all of us. In an instant, they Dart off to
another Direction and stop again, or he says at night.
They give off a kind of phosphorus glow and were easier
and we're a little easier to see in the day.
So you see what's going on here for?
He's a seeing these objects on the radar.
He's grabbing some heavy duty military binoculars he's going
outside he's looking up in the sky, he's seeing his Fleet of
UFOs and he's doing that a day and he's doing at night.
So this one on for several days. This appears to be a fleet of
UFOs. That was keeping this Navy Fleet
under surveillance. It looks like they might have
been testing that high-tech new radar.
The Navy was trying out. Who knows by November 14th.
I remember the start of the 10th the starts on November 10th of
2004. And now they're saying by
November 14th as 40s, later the strange returns have been
continuously. Sure.
Up for close to a week with an air defense schedule.
For that morning day, convinced his commanding officer to let
him direct aircraft to attempt an intercept of these anomalous
radar. Returns days.
Decision led to the vfa dash 41, squadron commander David, favor
to encountering what an unofficial executive summary
later described as an elongated leg, or a Tic Tac shape with the
discernible midline, Horizontal axis of approximately 46 feet in
length. Folks, this is not bolt
lightning. These are actual objects that
they've encountered and they appear to be physical objects.
They can describe them clearly by their size.
And you notice here that that pilot digits just didn't run
into these things, he was sent up there to investigate.
So that's what we have. That tape, these UFOs were,
obviously observing the fleet And after almost a week a couple
of the fighter pilots go up to observe them and they don't
leave and we know what happens next.
They get into all kinds of crazy Maneuvers.
They fly around the fighter pilots maybe they were trying to
communicate with them. Maybe they were just trying to
do this to demonstrate how much Superior there are crafts for
who knows? But the intercept too far away
for even high-powered binoculars for he's day and the rest of the
prince that can only listen to the live communications chatter
as the unidentified. Craft effortlessly evaded, the
Two fighter jets by demonstrating an advanced
acceleration, aerodynamic and propulsion capacity capability
outmaneuvered by an object that's quickly become known for
the shape as the Tic Tac fervor and his wingman return to the
USS Nimitz. In a subsequent flight.
Another fa-18 thanks to a state-of-the-art airflow pod
chat, underwear Underwood's successfully captured video of
the anomalous vehicle aav. For 13 years.
The incredible story of the u.s. Navy being arrested outperformed
by UFO, is went largely Unknown by the price by the greater
public, however, in December 2017, after to the Stars Academy
of Arts and Science, a verbose a lady named UFO for bhosle.
I just love that word. Maybe UFO, Think Tank founded by
former Blink-182, frontman Tom DeLonge and the New York Times
published a 1 minute 16. I can clip the at Fleur video,
the world suddenly became very familiar with the Nimitz and
counters. What hasn't been discussed,
however, is what the Nimitz and listed Witnesses.
Say happen after The now-famous Intercept with the Tic Tac their
testimony raises, many more questions debate and even some
controversy So we see what's happened.
So far. These UFOs have been observing
the battle Fleet for nearly a week.
Finally, they send up a couple piles to observe the UFOs.
Now, previously been able to see the UFOs with the binoculars,
but they say that they were not able to see the encounter
between the Navy pilots and UFOs with binoculars so it sounds as
though UFOs took off in some sort of almost like a play.
Chase with the and fighters to where they were on radar, but
out of you So, going back to the article, it says, it's subtitled
the mystery. Like many of the other Sailors
aboard, the USS Princeton former petty officer third class Jason,
Turner knew something was up, but didn't exactly know what had
been going on inside the cic, that's the, that's the command
and control center. It was only during a chance
encounter, while delivering supplies to the ship signal
exploitation space, that Turner found himself being another
unwitting witness to the It's UFO event video playing on one
of the console monitors immediately caught Turner's.
I in it, the Tic Tac performed a number of seemingly impossible
Maneuvers. Not seen, and the brief clip
release in 2017. Turn to describe what he saw in
the Nimitz and counters documentary out.
Just let me comment here folks, the clip that we've been given
this been dribbled out to Tom DeLonge and is former deep
state. Employees friends, whatever you
want to call these guys, that's nothing compared to what
actually happened. But what's a little bit
irritating about it, is how they've been able to take that
dumbed-down version at monetize it.
And like I've said before, repeatedly are everywhere.
You go. You find this US Navy video now
with Tom DeLonge, his company's water mark, stamped all over it
a bit annoying for UFO. Investigators like myself.
Back to the article, this thing was going berserk like making
turns, it's incredible. The amount of g-forces that it
would put on a human, it made a maneuver, it made a maneuver
like they were chasing it straight on it was going with
them. Then this thing stop turning.
Just gone in an instant, the video you see.
Now that's just a small snippet in the beginning of the whole
video. But this thing it was so much
more than what you see. In the video.
That's for mr. Turner, even now Turner still
appears visibly disturbed by whatever it is.
He saw that day. I asked a good friend of mine
who worked in that area. This is this the training.
We're going through, he tells Popular.
Mechanics know, the friend replied.
This is real life. See these UFOs were so amazing
to. These guys are so out of the
ordinary that nobody could really even accept it as is
reality. See, that's the kind of shocked
that it give that it gave people.
The article goes on equally by chance during the time of The
now-famous Intercept. After being called to have a
conversation with another Detachment, Ryan Wiglet found
himself in the inside there. Princeton's, see, I see
according to Wiglet a video of an F-18 trying its best to
catch. The elusive, Tic Tac was playing
on the monitors like Turner wheel.
It says that he what he saw was a lot longer than their brief.
Clip released in 2017. I was there for quite a while
and it was on the screen the whole time.
I cannot tell you how long but it was playing when I went into
the calm when I went into combat and was playing when I left
wiggle it said For East Hills, Popular Mechanics that he too
saw much longer and clear version of the at Fleur video
through the ship's top secret alien Network.
I definitely saw a video that was roughly 8 to 10 minutes long
and a lot more clear where he says, did what he did, what he
saw, we did what he see resemble, any type of
conventional aircraft? No, he says with a laugh in the
video. I saw you got a good.
Good sense of how the pilot was having a difficult time.
Keeping up with this thing. It kept making tight right angle
turns the most shocking claim. These Navy veterans, make is in
what they say happened with all the data tapes for the various
systems, that recorded these UFO events miles away from Voorhees
day Turner, and white on the deck of the USS.
Nimitz aircraft carrier petty officer.
Patrick. PJ Hughes, was unaware of the
unidentified objects. The carrier group had been
dealing For the past several days, instead is an aviation
technician one of uses jobs was to secure the hard drive data
recorders from the Airborne early warning, aircraft that E-2
Hawkeye, we call them bricks but they contain the software to run
the airplane. They also record or can record a
lot of the data that the air crew sees come seized during the
flight said Hughes and the YouTube interview on November
14th is Hughes performed is Routine tasks.
He was unaware that the E two hard drives.
He was securing away in a classified safe had just come
from the Hawkeye that day. First tried to use to intercept
the mysterious UFOs shortly after securing, the data Rick's
who said he was visited by his commanding officer and two
unknown individuals, sounds like Men In Black, huh?
They were not on the ship earlier and I didn't see them.
Come on, I'm not sure how they got there at.
You said of the two men. According to Hughes is
Commander, office is. Commanding officer told him to
turn over the recently. Secured hard drives.
We put them in the bags, he took them, then he and two Anonymous
officers left. You said inside the Princeton of
War, he's had a similar encounter these two guys show up
on a helicopter, which was a nun, cop, which wasn't uncommon,
but shortly after they arrived maybe 20 minutes, I was As Told
by my chain of command to turn over all the data, recordings of
the Aegis system says Voorhees in addition to turning over his
data tapes for. He's says, he was told by this
chain of command, he needed to reload their recorders where the
ship's Advanced combat engagement Center because it had
also been wiped clean along with the optical drives with all the
radio communications, they even told me to erase everything
that's in the shop. op even the blank tapes for, he says, the
only other time he can recall having to turn over his tapes,
like this was after an aircraft carrier crash during one of his
combat, deployments Upon their Princeton's fly up on the
princess. Flight Deck, wiggle says the two
men who initially arrived on the Princeton via helicopter or
wearing generic flight suits. According to Wiglet, the men
boarded one of the attachments sh-60 be helicopters and flew
off for a time before returning with a bunch of bags wiggle.
It says, the two men retired to the Admirals.
Quarters on the Princeton and a guard was staged outside the
door. Or.
Wow, in a January interview on the fighter pilot podcast
Commander day. Favorite old fella, F-18 pilot
and host. Vince analia low that the
squadron's videotapes other Tic Tac intercept had mysteriously
vanished forever. Said he believes is likely the
tapes were inadvertently recorded over.
Probably not Don't you think you know how it is when you go to
and from Cruise favor said someone goes what are these?
Hey they look like blank 8 mm tapes will just use them and in
an interview with Popular Mechanics.
Hey Leo detailed that processes for security flight tapes is
forever mention though these materials were classified a
number of different qualified Squad and Personnel would have
access to the safe where the tapes were would have been kept.
It's very common even Of her tapes you've marked and went to
save inadvertently to get put back in circulation.
Okay so the article goes on quite a bit there and almost
seems like it's trying to play over the fact that a couple guys
came down and took all of the UFO data.
Not going to finish reading this article, goes on for some time,
you can go online. I have a link there from the
podcast UFO, learning-dot-com. But I think the main thing to
take away from this article is that we have five more witnesses
to this nemus, UFO sighting, and all of them, say the same thing.
The tapes, the original tapes were much glare and if you look
at some of the video, from the insides of these Navy ships,
what they're using for radar state-of-the-art, they're not
using the video that the public was giving looks like something
from like 1970. So we're being soft-soled.
They're not telling us how clear the pictures of these UFOs are
these guys really saw something that's why everybody was scared.
Everybody was concerned and what happened after the sighting was
people a team of two guys with Sandy and they clean the data,
they cleared the data they destroyed the evidence or they
secure the evidence and now 15 years later a little bit of this
dumb down stuff is being dribbled out through Tom
belongs. Penny, really not the way
something like this should have been done.
If you look at how things were done as far as this whole
Nimitz, UFO encounter was done. Did it really follow protocol?
And then when somebody goes back and questions them about about
how the data was handled, even though Popular Mechanics has
five eyewitnesses there and say, this is what happened?
They go on the article and spend another couple Pages, basically
trying to explain why these guys are mistake.
And but nobody was trying to cover anything up.
It's all a big mistake. So, what I draw from this is
evidence of the UFO encounter is so clear.
So overwhelming in the face of multiple good eye witnesses,
even a magazine, Sheen like Popular Mechanics which
constantly debunks, anybody questioning the official
narrative as conspiracy theorists even that magazine has
to recognize these multiple reliable eyewitness accounts.
This UFO encounter with the Nimitz battle group was a UFO
Fleet, it was clearly seen by multiple eyewitnesses and it
interacted with the pilots. Afterwards, the width, the data
to that was either destroyed or secured and whisk away after
which, it was dribble out to a private party.
A private company, whose employees were former government
employees folks. This is not as this is not
disclosure far from it. This is a clear case of cover up
with the evidence and controlling the narrative.
Of, but the narrative is getting out of control.
And even mainstream news like popular mechanic has to, at
least impart recognize, what actually happened that week back
in 2004, until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
