Naval officers who witnessed the bizarre 2004 encounter the USS Nimitz had with a UFO have now come forward to claim that ‘unidentified individuals’ forced them to destroy documentation of the encounter. (Space.com)
Five Navy veterans recently spoke to Popular Mechanics about what they experienced at the time. The veterans were part of the Navy’s Strike Carrier Group 11 and were sailing on the USS Princeton on a training mission prior to their upcoming deployment in the Arabian Sea.
The strange radar signals came from an object that would quickly change altitudes, sometimes lurking at 80,000 feet (24,000 meters) and other times hanging around at 30,000 feet (9,000 m), they told Popular Mechanics. The UFO (an “unidentified flying object,” which doesn’t necessarily belong to aliens) became known as “Tic Tac” because of its shape. Tic Tac gave off a phosphorus glow at night and would dart around in various directions, said one of the veterans, Gary Voorhis, who looked at the object through binoculars on the ship.
Voorhis recalled that sometime after the officers recorded these strange radio signals, two people showed up on a helicopter, and 20 minutes later, Voorhis’ chain of command (a higher-up authority figure) told him to turn over the data recordings. His chain of command also told him to delete the recordings on the ship. “They even told me to erase everything that’s in the shop — even the blank tapes,” he told Popular Mechanics.
Similarly, Petty Officer Patrick “P.J.” Hughes, who was an aviation technician, claimed that his commanding officer and two unknown men asked him to turn over the hard drives from the plane.
If this story is accurate (and it seems to be as it is corroborated by numerous sources) then it seems to indicate the deep state may know far more about the encounter than it has otherwise let on.
What are they really hiding?
Who might these”unknown individuals” be. Additionally, how is it that such individuals “forced” serving naval officers to do anything? Answers please.
Clickbait. Recycled UFO stuff. Do a search on “uss nimitz ufo 2004” and you will find tons of material. Happy reading.
Unknown people directing our Navy, WOW
It’s amazing how overcome with honesty Naval officers are…..once they retire and they’ve safely secured their pension.
kbhret, where does it say they are retired and receiving a pension? Voorhis was an E4 during this incident and to call him an officer is misleading at best. There are only 3 pay grades below him in the Navy!!
As far as being overcome with honesty, all service members are cautioned about revealing classified information to include an exit briefing when you get discharged. Information given out by former service members is unclassified or it is being disseminated illegally.
If any military flight happens to sense UFOs, its not to be shared. Why? First, it origin may be from a possible known or unknown enemy; and the public knowing might tell whatever intelligence, if any, relating to it that it was seen! Worse that it had flight capabilities easily beyond those know to the pilot, or observer.
Most interesting notion is that something from outer space is involved that needs no human survival support to travel interstellular space. If it seems to jump about in fantastic manner, to determine more about what is of interest to it, the pilots do not want to be involved with a mission way beyond their planes capabilities.
Lastly,, our government, thinking its mission is to save us from ourselves, loses its stature if it has to admit any inability to do so! Can there be any other rational con conclusion?
