One month before the director of national intelligence and secretary of Defense are expected to deliver a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) intelligence report, Navy pilots and other former government officials are speaking out and describing their encounters with the mysterious sightings.
David Fravor, a Top Gun naval flight school graduate and commander of the F/A-18F squadron on the USS Nimitz, appeared on CBS’ “60 minutes” with Lt. Alex Dietrich, who was flying at his wing in 2004 when they say they saw a UFO, or unidentified flying object, together with their back seaters.
Fravor said that they say something “better” than their airplane. Dietrich said she never wanted to appear on national television, and this was her first time talking about the subject.
The UFO encounter, which happened 100 miles southwest of San Diego, California, was documented by means of radar, camera, and four naval pilots.
It came after a new advanced radar on the USS Princeton had been detecting “multiple anomalous aerial vehicles” for a week, according to operators. The “vehicles” were able to descend over 80,000 feet in less than one second.
Fravor and Dietrich were sent along each with back seat weapons officers on Nov. 14, 2004, to investigate.
They spotted an unidentified object with no wings or markings in an area of roiling whitewater amid a placid ocean.
“So as we’re looking at this, her back-seater says, ‘Hey, Skipper, do you…’ And about that got out, I said, ‘Dude, do you, do you see that thing down there?’” Fravor recalled. “And we saw this little white Tic Tac-looking object. And it’s just kind of moving above the whitewater area.”
Dietrich circled atop while Fravor directed the F-18’s nose toward the object to get a better view, spiraling toward it.
“The Tic Tac’s still pointing north-south, it goes, click, and just turns abruptly. And starts mirroring me. So as I’m coming down, it starts coming up,” he said, adding that the object was about the size of his aircraft, but it had no markings, no exhaust plumes, and no wings.
The UFO was aware of their presence, as it was mimicking his moves, Fravor said.
