A US warship encountered an enormous "Black Triangle" UFO emerging from the sea, a member of the crew has claimed.
The USS Nimitz might be best known for the famous "Tic Tac" encounter in 2004 - but crewman Kevin Thomas has claimed he witnessed a different incident about a decade earlier.
Two Navy pilots are said to have captured on film a Tic Tac-shaped UFO in 2004 during a routine training mission over the Pacific.
The US Navy previously identified the "tic-tac" as an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena after failing to explain the sighting.
The mystery has deepened over time as the Pentagon has refused to answer questions on the possibility of underwater UFOs.
But in the past few years, the US government has taken an active interest in UFO sightings and has even set up a new office focused solely on investigating them.
"Black Triangle" sightings have been recorded for decades but have often been dismissed as secret aircraft or atmospheric anomalies.
Speaking on Quest TV, Thomas, a crew member of the USS Nimitz, described what he witnessed in one of the ship's missions in 1991, over a decade before the Tic Tac encounter.
He explained that he got into the habit of watching the sunset after his shift as a production petty officer at the photo lab.
He said: "It's night, it's dark so we went to darken ship and when a ship goes to darken ship everything gets turned off.
"There can be no light anywhere on the ship."
Darkened ship occurs when the entire vessel locks down and everything goes dark in order to camouflage the ship from potential attacks.
He continued: "When I went to open up the bulkhead it was locked so I figured no big deal, I'll just ride it out out here so I found my way to the starboard side of the ship and I looked around the corner.
"There was something about halfway out of the water. It looked like a huge black triangle.
"I would estimate it was bigger than the Nimitz, about 200 yards away," he said before adding the Nimitz is about 1119ft.
"It was big and I kind of froze there. I have this image of it looking like this clean dark thing just sitting there with no water dripping off it.
"I got a real clear view of it, it probably raised up about 30-40ft, and then it was gone."
When asked if it made any sound, he responded "no".
Kevin said he got worried when two men paid him a visit the following day asking questions about the night before.
He said: "It's very very odd. I had a feeling at that moment, my heart kind of stopped like 'oh, oh, I'm in trouble'.
"I thought I saw something I'm not supposed to see and I could get in a lot of trouble."
Kevin said he only opened up years later when the Tic Tac footage emerged.
When asked if he sees any similarities between the Tic Tac footage and the Black Triangle he witnessed he said they both have the "same movement" at supersonic speeds of Mach 15- Mach 20.
"It kind of went slow at first and then it went boom and it was gone. That's exactly what I saw," Kevin said.
Kevin's testimony comes as the Pentagon has reported having a clear photo of a "Black Triangle" UFO rising out of the water.
The photo's existence has never been officially confirmed by the Pentagon - but many state it exists.
In September 2019 the US Navy finally admitted videos taken by pilots apparently showing encounters with UFOs in 2004 are real.
Two videos show three encounters between warplanes and what the navy has officially admitted were “unidentified aerial phenomena”.
The incident has become one of the most explosive UFO sightings of all time and it has still not been explained.
An aerospace engineer claimed the videos were put out to get the public ready for a fake alien invasion.
“Kevin said he got worried when two men paid him a visit the following day asking questions about the night before. “
I call BS, how would anyone know who was out there in the dark to come try and intimidate?
“Two men”??
Other sailors, men in Black?
BS
No surveillance footage? No photo?
Way it’s told....made-up and bogus.
I saw a black triangle at night once, just passing steadily overhead without making a sound. It strikes a person as being a bit strange.
It’s MA’AM!
What planet is THAT from?
I would recommend opening a hatch. That is the door like thingee. The bulkhead is the wall like thingee.
Here’s an A.I. art version of what the guy says he saw.
Look anything like this?
Mr Ballen on YT just had a segment on the 1967 Falcon Lake incident. He did a good job telling the story.
Imperial Star Destroyer.

Drinking torpedo alcohol again?
Have you seen the “Phoneix Lights” videos? Look anything like that.
Wiki entry on the subject:

The visit by higher-ups as to what he saw and the need to not talk about it is consistent with other UAP accounts. Many pilots just remained silent for fear of reprisals.
All of this was a massive ‘conspiracy theory’ until just a couple of years ago. Interesting how those conspiracies are proven true over time.
Were you on a ship or a military base? Many of the encounters seem to be near nuclear facilities.
Ship or military base? Nothing dramatic like that. This was in the 70’s, in my parents’ back yard. And I wasn’t the only one to see it. It’s not that it was visually spectacular, just dead silent as it went overhead that was the eerie thing. If it was some secret government aircraft, I would think it would have better places to fly over.
I guess the Rocky Horror Picture Show was ahead of it’s time.
