darkest secrets secret aircraft and the

other legends of area 51 among these

7
00:00:46,510 --> 00:00:42,920
sandstone canyons today there's a new

8
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:46,520
glimmer of truth shrouded in mystery

9
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:50,890
it's a story that demands to be told

10
00:00:56,650 --> 00:00:53,450
these are the witnesses of one of

11
00:00:59,709 --> 00:00:56,660
America's most unusual UFO encounters in

12
00:01:02,290 --> 00:00:59,719
history Navy veterans and a band of

13
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:02,300
brothers that want you to know that what

14
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:05,630
they witnessed is real this is their

15
00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:06,310
story

16
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:09,470
Petty Officer Jason Turner served aboard

17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:13,520
the USS Princeton in 2004 his personal

conviction for democracy and patriotism

19
00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:18,830
guides him in his search for the truth

20
00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:21,020
this is an actual event that happened

21
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:26,030
and I witnessed it aviation tech Patrick

22
00:01:31,539 --> 00:01:29,119
Hughes a USS Nimitz veteran he speaks

23
00:01:34,270 --> 00:01:31,549
for his shipmates who choose to remain

24
00:01:35,370 --> 00:01:34,280
silent I'm one of those who has to see

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:35,380
to believe

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:38,450
and obviously I've seen the evidence of

27
00:01:42,219 --> 00:01:41,450
this so deep it's Top Gun air intercept

Information Center they saw them first

33
00:01:57,249 --> 00:01:55,430
whatever it is they are they wanted to

34
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,259
show themselves whatever they were I

35
00:02:00,490 --> 00:01:58,880
don't think they wanted anything really

36
00:02:02,609 --> 00:02:00,500
to do with us they were literally

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:02,619
breaking the laws of physics in my eyes

38
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:05,650
these sailors are here for truth and

39
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:08,209
vindication and their story goes back

40
00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:10,910
over a decade to a time and place that

41
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:13,340
marked a departure for all of them both

42
00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:16,270
in their Navy careers but also

43
00:02:27,820 --> 00:02:18,150
their knowledge of the limits of man's

and waves here far from shore strange

49
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:03,300
events have unfolded these stories

50
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:05,040
stretch the boundaries of our

51
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:07,850
imagination and challenge our beliefs

52
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,280
this is a true story of such events from

53
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,440
the accounts of the sailors and naval

54
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:15,680
aviators who experienced them

55
00:03:20,150 --> 00:03:18,090
professional military service members

56
00:03:22,970 --> 00:03:20,160
who want the world to know that what

57
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:22,980
they encountered is real even more

58
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:25,440
troubling our military has no

59
00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:28,410
explanation the answers seemed to elude

tracking unknown aircraft that appear

protecting the airspace around the

78
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:35,340
Nimitz and my job was to man the radars

79
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:37,530
and ID everything the flew in the skies

80
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:40,650
and I also sat a position called

81
00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:43,050
anti-air warfare coordinator where if we

82
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:44,430
ever had to go to war I was the guy that

83
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:45,780
was going to launch the missiles and

84
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:48,930
kill in addition to that was the

85
00:04:52,969 --> 00:04:51,330
air intercept controller when the super

86
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:52,979
hornets take off the carrier i'm the guy

87
00:04:58,430 --> 00:04:54,330
that takes control and takes him to the

88
00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:58,440
fight and get some home safe there was a

89
00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:00,479
lot of experience in that room the

90
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:03,150
captain had 28 years I had 18 years and

91
00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:06,600
the age of ship is a our newest weapons

92
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:08,639
system afloat it's got the spy-1 radar

93
00:05:14,990 --> 00:05:11,520
system phased array radar system and

94
00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:15,000
that was a an expert on that inside the

95
00:05:19,490 --> 00:05:17,340
combat Information Center chief days

96
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:19,500
attention is focused on a group of

97
00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:22,110
unknown aircraft on the spy-1 screen

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:25,350
he's trying to identify them I was on

99
00:05:29,570 --> 00:05:27,810
watch and we were probably 100 miles I

100
00:05:31,690 --> 00:05:29,580
forget how far exactly that day we were

101
00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:31,700
off the coast of San Diego southwest

102
00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:34,470
kind of off the coast of Mexico Baja and

103
00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:38,280
I started to notice these weird tracks

104
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:40,020
that were popping unto my raver radar

105
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:41,490
coverage right about and sank in landing

106
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:43,560
island and the reason why I say they

107
00:05:47,570 --> 00:05:44,880
were weird cuz they were appearing in

108
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,580
groups of five to ten at a time and they

109
00:05:52,850 --> 00:05:49,440
were pretty closely spaced to each other

110
00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:52,860
and they were 28,000 feet going 100

111
00:05:57,709 --> 00:05:56,070
knots tracking south and in the back of

112
00:05:59,509 --> 00:05:57,719
my mind I'm thinking no that's kind of

113
00:06:00,649 --> 00:05:59,519
I mean what I don't know anything that

114
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,659
flies like that they weren't on the

115
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:02,639
Comair routes the commercial airline

116
00:06:07,369 --> 00:06:05,610
routes I wasn't really that concerned

117
00:06:10,249 --> 00:06:07,379
about him I didn't consider him hostile

118
00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:10,259
for any any reason at all another watch

119
00:06:15,139 --> 00:06:11,759
her too as I'm watching the same

120
00:06:18,769 --> 00:06:15,149
formation appeared again and over the

121
00:06:21,739 --> 00:06:18,779
course of three four days probably

122
00:06:23,629 --> 00:06:21,749
counted up to that point groups of five

123
00:06:28,009 --> 00:06:23,639
to ten at a time they're probably 5060

124
00:06:30,919 --> 00:06:28,019
tracks by then today Kevin and Gary are

125
00:06:32,989 --> 00:06:30,929
still looking for answers they've known

126
00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:32,999
each other for over a decade since their

127
00:06:39,739 --> 00:06:36,989
Navy days Gary was a third class petty

128
00:06:42,949 --> 00:06:39,749
officer and fire control them back then

129
00:06:48,019 --> 00:06:42,959
I worked on the aegis computer system on

130
00:06:52,339 --> 00:06:48,029
a CG 59 guided missile cruiser the USS

131
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:52,349
Princeton I'm in charge of CC and data

132
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:53,969
recording and maintaining and operating

133
00:06:58,639 --> 00:06:56,209
all the mainframes around the system

134
00:07:01,100 --> 00:06:58,649
they're both becoming increasingly

135
00:07:03,529 --> 00:07:01,110
frustrated in their attempts to ID the

136
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:03,539
strange aerial objects which have no

137
00:07:08,359 --> 00:07:06,029
transponders and fit no known flight

138
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:08,369
profiles the guys they work on this by

139
00:07:11,989 --> 00:07:10,529
one Bravo radar they they had come

140
00:07:14,119 --> 00:07:11,999
across and said they needed to take the

141
00:07:16,850 --> 00:07:14,129
system down for recalibration because

142
00:07:19,429 --> 00:07:16,860
they were getting clutter or ghost

143
00:07:21,019 --> 00:07:19,439
tracks and they needed to recalibrate to

144
00:07:23,149 --> 00:07:21,029
get rid of them then once they did

145
00:07:26,059 --> 00:07:23,159
finish all that recalibration bring it

146
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:26,069
back up the tracks didn't disappear they

147
00:07:28,850 --> 00:07:27,209
were still there but they were actually

148
00:07:31,369 --> 00:07:28,860
sharper and clearer but they were doing

149
00:07:33,049 --> 00:07:31,379
a diagnostic tests on everything we had

150
00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:33,059
to make sure it was not a system

151
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:35,550
malfunction and it turned out that it

152
00:07:40,579 --> 00:07:37,800
wasn't these were actually real objects

153
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:40,589
I had despite the highest spy track

154
00:07:44,209 --> 00:07:42,449
quality the possible on these cop on

155
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:44,219
these contacts in this situation I

156
00:07:48,049 --> 00:07:45,929
actually started recording on all four

157
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:48,059
tapes at the same time that way it was a

158
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:49,649
one continuous loop and I was just

159
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:51,449
replacing them as they were you know

160
00:07:57,859 --> 00:07:54,449
becoming full we failed utterly to

161
00:07:59,449 --> 00:07:57,869
identify these things it didn't meet any

162
00:08:02,929 --> 00:07:59,459
other parameters for anything that was

163
00:08:05,389 --> 00:08:02,939
known in some cases they seemed to

164
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:05,399
descend from space and then suddenly

165
00:08:09,070 --> 00:08:06,409
plunged in

166
00:08:11,229 --> 00:08:09,080
c-level in seconds coupled with the

167
00:08:13,809 --> 00:08:11,239
unidentified nature of the craft and

168
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:13,819
lack of clearance these extreme flight

169
00:08:18,129 --> 00:08:16,339
observations are very troubling to the

170
00:08:23,829 --> 00:08:18,139
crew assigned to protect the carrier

171
00:08:25,869 --> 00:08:23,839
group from aerial threats Sunday

172
00:08:28,019 --> 00:08:25,879
November 14th morning

173
00:08:31,689 --> 00:08:28,029
the Nimitz deck crew is busy launching

174
00:08:35,079 --> 00:08:31,699
fa-18 F Super Hornets helicopters and

175
00:08:38,019 --> 00:08:35,089

training over the Pacific the winds are

178
00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:43,159
calm the skies are clear a near perfect

179
00:08:55,019 --> 00:08:52,199
as they launched the black Asus squadron

180
00:08:58,079 --> 00:08:55,029
has no knowledge of events happening

181
00:08:59,550 --> 00:08:58,089
nearby in the back of my mind that's

182
00:09:02,100 --> 00:08:59,560
when I determined I was gonna become

183
00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:02,110
concerned about these objects 'as we

184
00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:03,279
were getting ready to launch a whole

185
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:04,870
bunch of aircraft in that same piece of

208
00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:19,150
intercept the mysterious aircraft seen

209
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:21,460
these contacts Captain Smith orders me

210
00:10:24,990 --> 00:10:23,500
to intercept when outside this I went

211
00:10:28,410 --> 00:10:25,000
back to the console I picked the closest

212
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:28,420
one that was to us and I was gonna I was

213
00:10:32,130 --> 00:10:30,250
had intended to let the Hawkeye do the

214
00:10:35,370 --> 00:10:32,140
intercept because they already had

215
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:35,380
control just easier they briefed the

216
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:37,330
captain and they agreed to send the

217
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:39,970
Hornets the air intercept controller

218
00:10:45,150 --> 00:10:42,430

clean the e to radar operators have been

224
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:08,910
frustrated in their attempts to get a

225
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:11,430
radar return on the unknown aerial

226
00:11:16,820 --> 00:11:14,010
target the Princeton is tracking even

227
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:16,830
with their 24 foot radar dish they can't

228
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:41,040
get a lock on the object we bet remote

229
00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:42,570
towards that position in the sky and

230
00:11:47,270 --> 00:11:45,060
real quiet on the radio we're just

231
00:11:49,340 --> 00:11:47,280
giving them Brock halls which is varying

232
00:11:51,140 --> 00:11:49,350
range altitude to these unknown bogie

233
00:11:52,970 --> 00:11:51,150
room and basically I'm just telling the

234
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:52,980
their crew where the object is the

235
00:12:12,520 --> 00:11:55,050
bearing from them and the range from

236
00:12:12,530 --> 00:12:23,400
[Applause]

238
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:35,820
the next radio call takes everyone by

00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:42,670
surprise c-110 stay load out on one zero

240
00:12:46,980 --> 00:12:44,140
what's your weapon slow down I've got a

241
00:12:48,330 --> 00:12:46,990
tactical action officer the TA Oh jumps

242
00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:48,340
on the radio her name was lieutenant

243
00:12:53,550 --> 00:12:51,820
elders and she just point-blank asks the

244
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:53,560
festival flight if they were carrying

245
00:13:04,020 --> 00:12:55,990
any type of weapons and that there was a

246
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:04,030
stun Paul's in the radio we're in an

247
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:06,640
exercise environment in the last thing

248
00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:07,870
we wanted to do is start shooting stuff

249
00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:10,360
now the controllers have the pilots

250
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:11,740
undivided attention

251
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:14,650
normally the squadron doesn't carry live

252
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:16,210
ordnance when training

253
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:24,270
what about the loadout no idea maybe

254
00:13:57,489 --> 00:13:35,650
it's drug runners or something that's

255
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:01,069
as fast evil approaches the target they

256
00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:03,689
see nothing unusual they're on board

257
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:22,860
- Treecko Charlie emerge quad

258
00:14:26,850 --> 00:14:24,880
basically what the merge plot means on

259
00:14:28,740 --> 00:14:26,860
the radar you got two objects in the

260
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:28,750
same vertical piece of sky so when I'm

261
00:14:41,610 --> 00:14:30,370
looking at the 2d display it looks like

262
00:14:44,070 --> 00:14:41,620
a 1-1 great arm blob now basically they

263
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:44,080
were speed on

264
00:14:56,830 --> 00:14:54,700
as the Super Hornets approached the

265
00:14:59,730 --> 00:14:56,840
target they see a disturbance on the

266
00:15:02,620 --> 00:14:59,740
ocean surface it's about the size of a

267
00:15:34,450 --> 00:15:02,630
737 and it looks like something could be

268
00:15:36,670 --> 00:15:34,460
just below the surface as soon as he got

269
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:36,680
to the merge position the object that he

270
00:15:42,070 --> 00:15:38,960
was intercepting dropped from 28,000

271
00:15:44,020 --> 00:15:42,080
feet down to 50 feet above the water in

272
00:15:47,230 --> 00:15:44,030
point seven eight seconds as I found out

273
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:47,240
later in the next day as the super

274
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:48,710
hornets get closer to the ocean

275
00:15:53,770 --> 00:15:50,870
disturbance he suddenly spots another

276
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:53,780
craft above it a much smaller white

277
00:16:05,870 --> 00:15:56,510
object with an oblong shape hovering

278
00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:08,259
the object is moving around erratically

279
00:16:14,689 --> 00:16:11,040
seemingly focused on the Whitewater

280
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:14,699
the shape is similar to a tic-tac it's

281
00:16:20,140 --> 00:16:17,220
smooth like porcelain it's not an

282
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:31,139
[Music]

283
00:16:45,220 --> 00:16:34,150
suddenly the object begins to rise into

284
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:45,230
the air the strange craft begins

285
00:16:59,100 --> 00:16:55,569
the object is now at his 3 o'clock

286
00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,110
position as he continues to turn with it

287
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:01,759
we have external communications in the

288
00:17:05,860 --> 00:17:04,010
speaker in combat so everyone can listen

289
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:05,870
to it and the next thing I hear in the

290
00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:08,089
radio going oh my god oh my god in the

291
00:17:24,670 --> 00:17:22,300
the commander is now about a mile away

292
00:17:28,030 --> 00:17:24,680
as he maneuvers his hornet to get behind

293
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:28,040
the unknown craft it's about the size of

294
00:17:37,210 --> 00:17:32,390
an f-18 about 47 feet long and it has no

295
00:17:39,550 --> 00:17:37,220
wings as the dogfight unfolds he quickly

296
00:17:41,650 --> 00:17:39,560
turns and dives to bring his Jets knows

297
00:18:06,880 --> 00:17:41,660
ahead of the object to close the

298
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:10,039
suddenly the tic-tac Rockets passed it's

299
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:12,390
gone beyond the horizon in the blink of

300
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:32,970
an eye as fast eagle returns to the area

301
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:35,250
of the ocean disturbance the object is

302
00:18:44,540 --> 00:18:38,490
gone in the sea is once again calm soon

303
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:47,820
back on board banger the flight crew has

304
00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:48,960
been listening to the radio

305
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:51,580
transmissions from fast Eagle the crew

306
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:53,530
has been tracking the intercepts on

307
00:19:01,800 --> 00:18:56,020
their advance display systems called the

308
00:19:04,170 --> 00:19:01,810
CEC one of the radar operators who

309
00:19:06,990 --> 00:19:04,180
wishes to remain anonymous describes

310
00:19:11,340 --> 00:19:07,000
hearing the fear in the pilots voices

311
00:19:13,020 --> 00:19:11,350
and he knows this is no drill I had a

312
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:13,030
good friend who flew on the Hawk guys we

313
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:15,970
can call him Roger to protect his

314
00:19:19,790 --> 00:19:18,100
identity because he didn't want to come

315
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:19,800
forward at this time but he wanted to

316
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:23,230
contribute to the story to verify that

317
00:19:27,540 --> 00:19:24,970
it actually happened so there are five

318
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:27,550
people in the airplane Roger would have

319
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:29,260
been seating in the the radar officer

320
00:19:33,930 --> 00:19:31,480
seat which is towards the back middle of

321
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:33,940
the plane to the side of each one of

322
00:19:37,530 --> 00:19:35,170
them or behind him depending how the

323
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:37,540
chairs rotating is a window suddenly his

324
00:19:45,390 --> 00:19:39,280
attention is drawn to something outside

325
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:45,400
the hawk eye he and the entire crew

326
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:48,880
watch in disbelief as a tic-tac object

327
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:52,030
suddenly forms up on their eetu and then

328
00:20:05,290 --> 00:19:54,760
just as quickly shoots away from sight

329
00:20:11,780 --> 00:20:09,470
as Bangor returns to the ship the crew

330
00:20:14,420 --> 00:20:11,790
is shaken

331
00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:14,430
the highly unusual events are troubling

332
00:20:20,930 --> 00:20:16,140
but what happens next

333
00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:20,940
has haunted them to this day u.s. Navy

334
00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:23,520
officers quickly arrive and escort the

335
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:27,470
aircrew to a secure space on the ship as

336
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:30,270
the crewmen begin to take off their

337
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:32,700
flight gear an officer begins the

338
00:20:38,660 --> 00:20:35,730
debriefing by telling them this event

339
00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:38,670
did not happen and they are given

340
00:20:45,020 --> 00:20:42,230
non-disclosure agreements to sign

341
00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:45,030
they're warned to never discuss this

342
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:52,080
event again again we're preparing for

343
00:20:55,460 --> 00:20:53,700
the air defense exercise to know we got

344
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:55,470
all the squadrons launching off the

345
00:20:59,840 --> 00:20:56,730
carrier because they're all up gonna do

346
00:21:02,750 --> 00:20:59,850
their functional check flexing senior

347
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:02,760
chief day watched in disbelief as the

348
00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:05,850
tick-tack UFOs reacted to the incoming

349
00:21:11,420 --> 00:21:08,700
fighter jets all the objects in the sky

350
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:11,430
they all dropped out of the sky from

351
00:21:17,150 --> 00:21:14,370
28,000 feet down to 50 feet based on the

352
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:17,160
spy one Bravo radar system the object

353
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:20,130
descended at over 24,000 miles an hour

354
00:21:25,340 --> 00:21:23,460
that was unbelievable because normally

355
00:21:27,230 --> 00:21:25,350
what would happen if that if a normal

356
00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:27,240
aircraft did that first I would fly

357
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:29,190
apart it wouldn't be able to withstand

358
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:31,530
the g-forces and there would be multiple

359
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:33,330
sonic booms it would be boom boo boo boo

360
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:35,010
boo boo boo boo boo man this did not

361
00:21:45,050 --> 00:21:42,560
from what I observed I saw that it went

362
00:21:46,820 --> 00:21:45,060
from you know right around between 25

363
00:21:50,980 --> 00:21:46,830
and 30 thousand feet down to sea level

364
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:50,990
and below sea level content tank number

365
00:21:58,910 --> 00:21:55,650
zero 4q below sea level was confirmed to

366
00:22:02,450 --> 00:21:58,920
me by the actual sonar texts that were

367
00:22:05,030 --> 00:22:02,460
in combat in communications with other

368
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:05,040
texts that had said they had an active

369
00:22:14,450 --> 00:22:12,480
track on it under the water they're

370
00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:14,460
talking with their sonar guys on the sub

371
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:17,280
that was with us you know and I mean I

372
00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:19,650
mean I was told directly that it did go

373
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:21,480
underwater you know I mean it went from

374
00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:23,970
being in the air to underwater from what

375
00:22:26,930 --> 00:22:25,260
they were saying there it was going

376
00:22:28,910 --> 00:22:26,940
averaging about 500 knots under the

377
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:28,920
water you know so it did slow down when

378
00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:32,070
I hit the water but it didn't affect it

379
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:35,460
inertially after the intercepts both

380
00:22:39,950 --> 00:22:38,160
Kevin and Gary climbed up to the ship's

381
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:39,960
bridge wing to get a better view of the

382
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:42,570
objects through the binoculars we go up

383
00:22:45,890 --> 00:22:44,040
to the bridge wing and look look at him

384
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:45,900
through the big eyes which is a heavily

385
00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:48,000
magnifying binoculars that are out on

386
00:22:52,220 --> 00:22:50,070
the bridge wing of the ship even when I

387
00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:52,230
was off watch I was usually up in combat

388
00:22:55,940 --> 00:22:54,240
anyway and I was sitting at the console

389
00:22:58,700 --> 00:22:55,950
I just picked the closest object to us

390
00:23:00,500 --> 00:22:58,710
and I got the relative bearing from the

391
00:23:02,930 --> 00:23:00,510
ship slave over to the relative bearing

392
00:23:06,999 --> 00:23:02,940
of about the right altitude and saw this

393
00:23:12,489 --> 00:23:10,960
movements were smooth too erratic yeah

394
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:12,499
they just moved from one point to

395
00:23:18,399 --> 00:23:15,289
another it was always a very sharp and

396
00:23:20,529 --> 00:23:18,409
clean movement they it always felt like

397
00:23:23,409 --> 00:23:20,539
a constant speed not like speeding up

398
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:23,419
just it needed to go to that point and

399
00:23:28,899 --> 00:23:25,369
it decided to do it at this speed and

400
00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:28,909
then it would just go from nothing to

401
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:30,529
the speed they were gonna go and then

402
00:23:39,210 --> 00:23:36,900
meanwhile back on the Nimitz aviation

403
00:23:41,610 --> 00:23:39,220
tech Patrick Hughes is working to secure

404
00:23:44,430 --> 00:23:41,620
the classified data recorders from the

405
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:44,440
Hawkeye that encountered the tic-tac we

406
00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:47,049
pull out the their hard drives become

407
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:48,400
armed seize that call bricks because

408
00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:51,640
they physically heavy like brick but

409
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:53,200
they contain the software to run the

410
00:23:59,370 --> 00:23:56,830
airplane they also record a lot of the

411
00:24:01,169 --> 00:23:59,380
data that the aircrew sees during flight

412
00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:01,179
so we take the removable stuff we take

413
00:24:05,669 --> 00:24:03,190
it out we go downstairs back to our shop

414
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:05,679
Patrick's job involves tracking the

415
00:24:10,980 --> 00:24:08,770
chain of custody of the hard drives then

416
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:10,990
we open up the safe put them in a safe

417
00:24:15,419 --> 00:24:12,370
we've got tracking sheets and we know

418
00:24:16,919 --> 00:24:15,429
what what our MCS are what airplane we

419
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:16,929
know who signed him out who put him in

420
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:18,010
the airplane who took him out of the

421
00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:20,830
airplane as he gets ready to wrap up the

422
00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:23,590
mission there's a knock on the door our

423
00:24:28,020 --> 00:24:26,590
commanding officers there two other guys

424
00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:28,030
in flight suit I'm assuming were Air

425
00:24:31,740 --> 00:24:29,860
Force officers because pretty sure that

426
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:31,750
scene segment they had on but they were

427
00:24:34,830 --> 00:24:33,490
not on the ship earlier I did not even

428
00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:34,840
come on the ship so I'm not sure how

429
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:38,470
they got there but the skipper basically

430
00:24:42,090 --> 00:24:39,520
said I need the four bricks off the

431
00:24:44,370 --> 00:24:42,100
flight we opened the safe we put him in

432
00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:44,380
the bags he took them he took his two

433
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:52,320
the officers with the classified hard

434
00:25:03,600 --> 00:24:55,690
drives in hand soon board an HS 60

435
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:03,610
Seahawk helicopter and leave Nimitz soon

436
00:25:08,820 --> 00:25:05,890
thereafter petty officer Voorhees has

437
00:25:10,590 --> 00:25:08,830
his own visit by unknown officials on

438
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:10,600
the Princeton once they landed and

439
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:14,710
everybody got off got off then about 20

440
00:25:19,260 --> 00:25:16,810
minutes later I got called in to have

441
00:25:22,710 --> 00:25:19,270
all my data recording tapes turned over

442
00:25:26,330 --> 00:25:22,720
and then also told that I needed to

443
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:26,340
reload CC because it had been wiped so

444
00:25:32,820 --> 00:25:31,540
it was so I earned over all the tapes

445
00:25:34,830 --> 00:25:32,830
and then they also said if there's any

446
00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:34,840
even blank tapes to erase anything else

447
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:36,820
that's in the shop well they were

448
00:25:39,330 --> 00:25:38,380
plainclothes people that came aboard on

449
00:25:41,490 --> 00:25:39,340
the helicopter

450
00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:41,500
it was my chain of command that took

451
00:25:46,110 --> 00:25:43,870
that took control of the tapes for me

452
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:46,120
the helo left with them after that so

453
00:25:50,250 --> 00:25:47,440
because we went right back to flight ops

454
00:25:53,370 --> 00:25:50,260
the link between the tic tacs and these

455
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:53,380
men is unknown how they became aware of

456
00:25:58,980 --> 00:25:56,170
the UFO encounters and how they arrived

457
00:26:02,340 --> 00:25:58,990
so quickly on board after the event is

458
00:26:07,710 --> 00:26:05,009
the video you are now watching is the

459
00:26:10,590 --> 00:26:07,720
actual gun camera FLIR footage of the

460
00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:10,600
tic-tac taken by a later flight this is

461
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:13,120
the first video ever released by the US

462
00:26:18,169 --> 00:26:13,690
government

463
00:26:21,299 --> 00:26:18,179
showing military planes engaging UFOs

464
00:26:24,659 --> 00:26:21,309
the advanced targeting pod known as a

465
00:26:28,860 --> 00:26:24,669
FLIR works in both TV mode and infrared

466
00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:28,870
mode the film reveals no control

467
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:32,470
services no exhaust flue a uniform heat

468
00:26:38,129 --> 00:26:35,049
signature and no visible means of

469
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:38,139
propulsion Gary and his shipmates saw

470
00:26:42,930 --> 00:26:40,690
the FLIR film on their consoles and on

471
00:26:44,820 --> 00:26:42,940
the secret land aboard the Princeton it

472
00:26:46,669 --> 00:26:44,830
was a much clearer video you could see

473
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:46,679
the shape of the ship you could see it

474
00:26:52,529 --> 00:26:49,840
you know moving you know I tried to go

475
00:26:54,210 --> 00:26:52,539
and get a disc to come make a copy of it

476
00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:54,220
and by the time I got back it was

477
00:26:58,529 --> 00:26:56,049
already off of our hard drive off the

478
00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:58,539
secret land you had no access to it

479
00:27:02,039 --> 00:26:59,200
whatsoever

480
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:02,049
Petty Officer Jason Turner also saw a

481
00:27:07,399 --> 00:27:04,450
much higher resolution version of the

482
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:07,409
FLIR film showing strange appendages

483
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:09,850
extending from the object but it did

484
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:12,610
have some protruding at the bottom of it

485
00:27:17,159 --> 00:27:14,769
I couldn't tell if they were curled back

486
00:27:19,409 --> 00:27:17,169
or straight down jason says the video

487
00:27:21,899 --> 00:27:19,419
was approximately 10 minutes in length

488
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:21,909
and much longer than the video that has

489
00:27:26,509 --> 00:27:24,250
been released I saw this video playing

490
00:27:28,649 --> 00:27:26,519
and I'd asked him is this what we're

491
00:27:30,090 --> 00:27:28,659
training her foot was part of this

492
00:27:34,169 --> 00:27:30,100
training that we're going through and he

493
00:27:37,499 --> 00:27:34,179
said no this is real life and when I saw

494
00:27:40,169 --> 00:27:37,509
it it was a very clear image a very

495
00:27:45,990 --> 00:27:40,179
clear video and this thing was going

496
00:27:48,450 --> 00:27:46,000
berserk like making turns like it's

497
00:27:50,639 --> 00:27:48,460
incredible the amount of g-forces that

498
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:50,649
it would put on a human that this thing

499
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:54,730
was doing the the Jets were like trying

500
00:27:57,330 --> 00:27:55,809
to trail this thing and it would just

501
00:27:59,730 --> 00:27:57,340
run off and leave them they will just go

502
00:28:01,830 --> 00:27:59,740
gone and then it would come back and

503
00:28:05,820 --> 00:28:01,840
then you would see it anyway I mean it

504
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:05,830
was it made a maneuver like they were

505
00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:07,720
chasing it straight on it was going with

506
00:28:12,539 --> 00:28:09,809
them this thing stopped turning just

507
00:28:13,630 --> 00:28:12,549
gone I mean it that's the only way to

508
00:28:23,470 --> 00:28:13,640
describe

509
00:28:26,530 --> 00:28:23,480
what it looked like just 11 years later

510
00:28:35,710 --> 00:28:26,540
fighter jets from USS Roosevelt filmed

511
00:28:37,570 --> 00:28:35,720
this anomalous object in 2015 like the

512
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:37,580
Nimitz encounter they too were

513
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:40,010
conducting routine training when fleets

514
00:28:52,539 --> 00:28:48,940
the limits encounters remained cloaked

515
00:28:54,850 --> 00:28:52,549
secrecy for over 13 years the first-hand

516
00:28:57,220 --> 00:28:54,860
testimony about UFO sightings is

517
00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:57,230
practically unheard of from military

518
00:29:02,140 --> 00:28:59,840
service members thanks to the brave and

519
00:29:04,330 --> 00:29:02,150
honest accounts of the sailors and naval

520
00:29:07,270 --> 00:29:04,340
aviators who have come forward to relate

521
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:07,280
their experiences and of the remarkable

522
00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:10,490
videos they filmed that day the silence

523
00:29:16,090 --> 00:29:13,040
has been broken I dealt with this all on

524
00:29:18,610 --> 00:29:16,100
my own for many many years and it was

525
00:29:21,090 --> 00:29:18,620
not a very pleasant journey to go

526
00:29:25,150 --> 00:29:21,100
through is no one really believed you

527
00:29:26,890 --> 00:29:25,160
but now things have changed and anyone

528
00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:26,900
out there that struggling with this and

529
00:29:31,690 --> 00:29:29,809
wants to reach out there is now a group

530
00:29:36,940 --> 00:29:31,700
that you can reach out to and get help

531
00:29:38,620 --> 00:29:36,950
in support and vindication it's honestly

532
00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:38,630
been a little relieving to be able to

533
00:29:45,970 --> 00:29:41,630
actually talk about it and how important

534
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:45,980
that event really was and not just keep

535
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:50,570
blowing it off there's people out here

536
00:29:54,310 --> 00:29:52,130
that you know really need to know and

537
00:29:57,190 --> 00:29:54,320
want to know and you have the support of

538
00:29:58,330 --> 00:29:57,200
you know me and Kevin and the others and

539
00:30:00,669 --> 00:29:58,340
my other shipmates that have come

540
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:00,679
forward and decided to talk about it my

541
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:05,030
role is to describe the story and

542
00:30:09,190 --> 00:30:07,370
convince people that yes this event

543
00:30:11,770 --> 00:30:09,200
really happened and these objects were

544
00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:11,780
really real but what they are I have no

545
00:30:15,430 --> 00:30:14,630
idea it is something I want to know what

546
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:15,440
it is

547
00:30:18,460 --> 00:30:17,330
that's all reason I chose to come

548
00:30:20,620 --> 00:30:18,470
forward to contribute to the story

549
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:20,630
because there is a story here there is

550
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:22,970
more information here more of us that
