That Time the U.S. Navy Had a Close Encounter With a UFO (More good info)
popularmechanics.com ^ | Kyle Mizokami

The New York Times on Saturday reported on a mysterious interaction between the U.S. Navy and what could only be called UFOs. The sighting, which took place in 2004, involved a U.S. Navy Aegis cruiser, seven Hornet and Super Hornet strike fighter jets, and a pair of unknown objects. The sighting, which was rumored but unsubstantiated for a decade remains unexplained to this day.

*snip*

According to the Times:

For two weeks, the operator said, the Princeton had been tracking mysterious aircraft. The objects appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering. Then they either dropped out of radar range or shot straight back up.

[From an excerpt from Carrier Air Wing 11’s event summary for November 14, 2004 at source:]

There are several interesting details about the sighting here. For one, there were clearly two unidentified objects. The first was a large underwater object that was “much larger than a submarine.” For reference, the U.S. Virginia-class nuclear attack submarines are 377 feet long. The object also had some passing resemblance to a “downed airliner.” This was technically a USO, or unidentified swimming object. Although much rarer than UFOs, such craft have been sighted over the years.

I’m not sure about Hillary, but I remember Slick Willy promised UFO disclosure when he was running the first time.

I think it is safe to say the the USS Nimitz is a major DOD asset. It carries our most advanced seaborne aircraft and has nuclear weapons.

This had been going on for two weeks yet no other Nimitz pilots made mention of this to the subject flight crews and the planes took off unarmed???

As I already mentioned on this thread, this alleged incident took place just 100 miles off San Diego. That's well within range of San Diego International's traffic control radar. Why didn't civilian operators report seeing anything out of the ordinary?

Of all the things you have said, this has the ring of Truth.

“Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place, and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father!”

Thank you, I just ordered the book. This is a subject that interests me very much. Merry Christmas!

While I accept that aliens would represent a different culture and level of intelligence, it is hard to imagine why their craft would bother to fly bizarre patterns. Like dropping 12 miles over the ocean and shooting straight back up, again and again.

Abductees in NYC and other liberal cities became a cottage industry of pretty girls painting and selling images of their abductors. I don’t believe it.

We don't actually know what they tried to do.

We don't actually know what they tried to do.

One would think if they had it would be in this report.

Try Exo-Vaticana, too. 600 page SUMMARY. It’s one of the best top 1-3 books on the topic. The paper copy from Tom Horn’s website includes a DVD with 10’s of thousands of pages of references. Some are from the Vatican’s secret archives.

Dr Jacques Vallee—an expert on such matters—both UFOs and control functions—notes that the critters and craft are more or less obviously implementing a CONTROL function over our society, culture. The cat and mouse games and demonstrations are one factor in that strategy of theirs.

There are most likely a ton of communications behind the scenes that DOD is unwilling to release.

I actually thought the first report by the NY Times was pretty sketchy.

This one by Popular Mechanics had much more info.

For example, I didn't previously focus much on the craft under water. Presumably larger than a submarine, just beneath the surface.

To me, that's the big story here. The tic tac craft was most likely a drone.

IIRC Vallee, like Hynek, leans toward the extradimensional theory (instead of extraterrestrial).

IMO, the most chilling line in that movie ("They Live").

[sidebar] I got a kick out of Director Carpenter making the original story (use earth people as a food source) into one where "They" exploit us as a Third World planet.

Love the subliminal messages on the billboards, seen only with the "sun glasses":

Yes. Dr Vallee certainly believes that. He goes to exhaustive length, BTW, to document how the UFO stuff shares a ton of things in common with poltergeist and other dark occultic stuff over the centuries.

Why would we think that?

At this stage, such a report would likely be carefully crafted from the ground up with great attention being paid what to put in it and what to leave out of it.

Quix had an occasional habit, when the topic came up, to rhetorically ask his listener if the critters had knees—because of that Scripture.

Yep. I long ago came to the conclusion that these phenomena are pure evil.

Even Whitley Strieber raised that issue in Communion...and I wouldn't consider him religious unless he has changed.
