1
00:00:06,619 --> 00:00:03,050
this is the Nimitz UFO footage also

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:06,629
called Fleur or tic-tac it's less

3
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:08,370
interesting looking than the rotating

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:10,950
gimbal footage rated B gets a lot of

5
00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:12,570
interest because of the testimony of

6
00:00:18,349 --> 00:00:15,599
commander David flavor who describes a

7
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:18,359
bizarre encounter with a 40-foot tic-tac

8
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:20,310
shaped craft that ran rings around him

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:22,320
before shooting off at hypersonic speeds

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:25,170
this video is not of that incident it

11
00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:27,330
was shot shortly later by a different

12
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:29,880
pilot in the same group but what does it

13
00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:30,769
show

14
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:33,300
to understand the footage you've got to

15
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:34,920
know that there's actually two cameras

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:36,780
being used and the video switches

17
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:38,489
between them as well as switching zoom

18
00:00:43,729 --> 00:00:41,219
levels it starts out in infrared mode

19
00:00:46,459 --> 00:00:43,739
where white is hot and we can see a

20
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:46,469
shimmering heat source 18 seconds in

21
00:00:51,229 --> 00:00:49,170
they switched to the TV camera which is

22
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:51,239
just visible light we can just see a

23
00:00:55,939 --> 00:00:53,910
blurry shape in the distance at 41

24
00:00:57,709 --> 00:00:55,949
seconds it switches back to infrared and

25
00:00:59,420 --> 00:00:57,719
we'll discuss that later but for now I'm

26
00:01:01,610 --> 00:00:59,430
going to focus on the TV footage the

27
00:01:04,399 --> 00:01:01,620
visible light image here we see a dark

28
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:04,409
blob wider than it is hi and initially a

29
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:06,510
little like a tic-tac or caplets shape

30
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:09,330
but over 20 seconds it gets larger as

31
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:11,490
the jet gets closer and the shape shifts

32
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:13,530
a bit almost as if it's rotating about

33
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,750
the vertical axis it becomes a little

34
00:01:19,609 --> 00:01:17,520
more peanut shaped

35
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:19,619
and a kind of tail seems to appear on

36
00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:23,280
the left so what is it I think it's a

37
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:24,900
distant plane applying it a bit of an

38
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,640
angle to the jet and slightly above it

39
00:01:31,219 --> 00:01:28,560
we know the camera is angled up at

40
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:31,229
around 5 degrees at the start but how

41
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:33,890
can a plane look like a black blob well

42
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:36,479
we know planes gonna look very dark when

43
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:39,270
backlit and we know things tend to look

44
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:41,210
like blobs when they're far away

45
00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:43,530
especially in low resolution blurry

46
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:46,920
footage so let's take a plane and see

47
00:01:49,999 --> 00:01:47,640
what it looks like

48
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:50,009
backlit in low resolution blurry footage

49
00:01:55,730 --> 00:01:52,470
here's a typical passenger jet a Boeing

50
00:01:58,459 --> 00:01:55,740
767 if it's backlit it would look more

51
00:02:00,760 --> 00:01:58,469
like this of course what we're seeing is

52
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:00,770
out of focus so a bit more like this and

53
00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:03,180
not only is it out of focus but it's

54
00:02:07,249 --> 00:02:05,180
also low resolution so let's do that -

55
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:07,259
finally there's a bunch of noise in the

56
00:02:12,260 --> 00:02:10,800
video let's have a look at that so now

57
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:12,270
we've got a simulated a visible light

58
00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:13,560
image of a distant

59
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:16,260
of various angles we can see there from

60
00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:18,450
this angle it looks a bit like the UFO

61
00:02:22,339 --> 00:02:20,700
at the start of the TV segment and from

62
00:02:23,839 --> 00:02:22,349
this angle it looks a bit like it does

63
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:23,849
at the end of the segment with a more

64
00:02:27,890 --> 00:02:25,530
peanut like shape and the hint of a tail

65
00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:27,900
to the left so if this is all we had to

66
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:30,959
go by I'd say this fits pretty well so

67
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:33,540
maybe the nimitz video is just a distant

68
00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:36,540
passenger planer but what about the

69
00:02:41,059 --> 00:02:39,060
infrared footage that's showing the heat

70
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:41,069
from the engines and we saw in the

71
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:43,170
Chilean Navy UFO case that the glare

72
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,000
from the engines can hide the shape of

73
00:02:49,309 --> 00:02:47,760
the plane at the start of the video the

74
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:49,319
nimitz infra red glare doesn't have a

75
00:02:54,289 --> 00:02:51,530
good shape as the plane is so far away

76
00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:54,299
later we see more of a horizontal shape

77
00:03:00,050 --> 00:02:56,340
similar to the black shape in the TV

78
00:03:02,210 --> 00:03:00,060
footage but smaller by the way this case

79
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:02,220
the Chilean Navy UFO is a great example

80
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:05,310
of our experts get things wrong the

81
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:06,540
pilots thought they were looking at

82
00:03:10,850 --> 00:03:08,910
something small and close but it was

83
00:03:14,410 --> 00:03:10,860
just a large passenger plane over 80

84
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:14,420
miles away they then spent two years

85
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:17,160
investigating it and eventually declared

86
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:20,190
it a genuine unidentified only - Harry -

87
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:22,260
identified a week later by people on the

88
00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:26,070
internet including me here's some

89
00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:29,100
infrared video of a 767 shot from the

90
00:03:33,349 --> 00:03:31,500
front getting closer to the camera like

91
00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:33,359
in the nimis video at first it just

92
00:03:37,849 --> 00:03:35,700
looks like a dot of light but as it gets

93
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:37,859
closer we get more of a horizontal shape

94
00:03:43,069 --> 00:03:41,609
as the engines separate so it certainly

95
00:03:45,289 --> 00:03:43,079
could be the same thing in the nimitz

96
00:03:47,330 --> 00:03:45,299
video unfortunately they've cranked up

97
00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:47,340
the sharpening in this video giving it a

98
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:54,280
what are the sudden movements of the UFO

99
00:03:58,670 --> 00:03:56,370
the appear to all just be camera

100
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,680
movement there's a rotation when the

101
00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:00,239
camera does a gimbal lock correction

102
00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:02,190
around three degrees and the other

103
00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:03,870
movements all coincide with changes in

104
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:06,150
zoom finally the camera does a zoom

105
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:07,980
change and just does not lock back onto

106
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:10,290
the object and it drifts off as it's not

107
00:04:14,539 --> 00:04:13,290
being tracked final zoom change gives

108
00:04:16,159 --> 00:04:14,549
the illusion that it's moving off really

109
00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:16,169
fast but if you correct presume you see

110
00:04:23,060 --> 00:04:19,919
that it's actually not is it solve no

111
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:23,070
not 100% the fit is pretty good but not

112
00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:25,650
exact but this was just the first plane

113
00:04:28,580 --> 00:04:27,270
I tried maybe a different plane

114
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:28,590
a different camera setting will work

115
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:30,810
better but I think it shares that a

116
00:04:34,129 --> 00:04:32,310
distant plane is a very real possibility

117
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:34,139
and I should probably be at the top of

118
00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:37,289
the list and again this isn't the same

119
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:39,780
thing that commander Freitas saw so this

120
00:04:43,309 --> 00:04:41,370
just being a plane doesn't mean that he

121
00:04:45,469 --> 00:04:43,319
didn't see a giant jittery tic tac

122
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:45,479
shaped craft I don't know what he saw
