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

Posted on 12/23/2017 3:43:05 AM PST by RoosterRedux

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.

Unfortunately, that rumor has been around for forty years.

Somewhat true. However, NOW a list of very high ranking folks who have worked in the black ops field dealing with the craft and critters for decades--THOSE FOLKS are insisting, somewhat publicly, that the sharp pics and videos will be out very soon--surprisingly soon--specifically--within 30 days.

What kind an idiot needs the government to tell them what is real?

Sadly, a LOT of Freepers have fit that category over the decades. Some were banned for their interest in the topic.

But to answer that question--probably folks with a serious degree of RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) and the resulting desperate needs to CONTROL or at least be seen as in CONTROL; be perfect; pretend they know it all; deny intolerably uncomfortable realities; bluster etc. etc. and otherwise buck-up their deep inner insecurities.

USS Princeton (CG-59) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser ...

By then, virtually everything that could be done with such cases had been done many dozens if not 100's of times over for at least 3-6 decades worth.

There likely was nothing new that any additional personnel could tease out of such a common situation.

There were standing orders for how to handle yourself in such situations. The orders to try and shoot them down had been rescinded quickly after the craft started blowing airliners out of the air in response to the military shooting at them every time they saw them. Wiser heads in D.C. quickly decided that was not a good standing order to leave in force.

Such situations had become routine enough to not likely be able to obtain much new intel in such situations. But they were exciting to the military personnel involved, nevertheless.

You obviously simply have not read the 10's of thousands of documents and talked face to face with the dozen or so famous experts my household has.

In other words, with similar respect returned to you--you are arguing from a gross lack of being well informed--essentially from an absence of quality information.

My housemate is a PhD in Clinical Psychology with a minor in sociology. Dr Mack was a psychiatrist. The facts are the facts whether you find them plausible, or not.

MOST abductees are not even aware they were abducted without a shocking experience reminding them of deeply buried stuff . . . or quality hypnosis by someone well trained in how to avoid leading the witnesses.

MOST abductees do NOT WANT to remember the experiences that were so frightful and often involved embarrassing maybe painful sexual rape of one sort or another.

Certainly MOST abductees do NOT WANT to talk to anyone about such experiences. They want those memories to stay buried and long past.

For sure. We loved that part at our house. Their egg on their faces was very well deserved. They should have paid him compensation for their harassment of him.

DOH. We’d forgotten, actually. But a lot of such reports have come from our carriers.

100 miles off the coast of San Diego

That is well within reach of traffic control radar at San Diego International Airport. Why weren't civilian controllers reporting similar observations?

And if, as many high level experts insist, the critters are actually--as Dr Jacques Vallee insists--evil spiritual entities that originate not from distant galaxies but from an evil DIMENSION?

Guy Malone has 400 cases where he has documented that:

1. Declaring that an abduction must stop immediately on the authority of Christ's Blood and Name resulted in an immediate stop. One such case--the husband suddenly woke up realizing he was about 2 feet above his bed with a pole up his butt and an ET looking on from the food of the bed.

Quickly recalling some vague memory from childhood Sonday school class, he loudly declared: "STOP, IN THE NAME OF JESUS--AWAY FROM ME." Whereupon the pole was so quickly withdrawn that he fell to the bed with a crash finally waking his wife who had seemed zoned out.

Guy Malone has many similar cases.

Guy has also NEVER found a single case of an abduction where the abductees had an active, authentic, genuine, alive, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and earnestly endeavoring to walk with Christ. Not one case.

Guy has also NEVER found a single case of abductees who had NOT dabbled in the forbidden occult in some way or another--at least with horoscopes.

You might want to rethink your assumptions.

Particularly when the critters show up on your doorstep having selected you for lunch.

There have been VERY few cases where hand to hand combat stuff has been helpful. The grey type critters are fairly weak. However, their tech and mind control stuff typically renders the humans very frozen, immobilized--unable to move more than their eyes.

And the reptoids are not weak at all. Some of the insectoids are perceived to be very strong but the data is spotty.

Guns have been helpful in some cases but not in others. Where the critters were not aware the bullets were heading their way--guns were quite effective. Otherwise, a kind of force field or body armor/field caused the bullets to fall harmlessly to the ground a foot or so from the critter.

Okay, Jocko.

You seem a very intelligent and nice, respectful guy. I respect your willingness to put your opinion out there knowing full well people will ridicule you. You're my kinda guy in that respect.

I will take your information under advisement and place it into my ponder box.

There are either aliens buzzing us and collecting human specimens or there are not.

I guess we will find out either way one day. If that day comes, I'll buy you lunch.

Both of us are good at satire.

However, on this topic, we don't have time for it. Sorry you saw it as satire. When disclosure has progressed a lot further, you'll realize that.

At least it has begun--as much as we wish it hadn't.

They may have been though probably not. They had their hands full of normal flights.

And, they'd rather not get entangled in all the rules and regs of officially dealing with such goings on.

I saw a debate on this event. One said the clouds did not change brightness which indicated it was not real.

The article specifically mentions the Princeton and I was just filling in a detail. She’s one of our more capable ships and, she’s a cruiser not a destroyer that many think all Aegis ship are.

Here’s and excerpt from the wiki:
USS Princeton aerial object incident
“In November 2004 Princeton tracked unidentified flying objects that were capable of accelerating and maneuvering at extraordinary speeds. The Princeton subsequently contacted two Navy F/A-18F fighter pilots from the USS Nimitz who tracked and filmed their interactions with the objects. The incident was publicly disclosed in December 2017 with the revelation of the funding of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program.”

For two weeks civilian ATCs saw transponderless blips on their screens moving about in an implausible manner and they just ignored it??? Never even any concern about malfunctioning equipment???

Actually, we'd be glad to have lunch with you.

Given the disclosures evidently scheduled over the next month plus . . . you likely will not have long to wait. That's a major sea change.

Thanks for your kind words.

I'm still laughing. Honestly I am. I don't do fake lols

The ridicule hasn’t bothered me that much. It used to rankle my housemate more than it should have. Now—he just thinks it’s ignorant.

It's a date, Jocko.

I'm gonna need friends like you when the ET's take over. You can put in a good word for me and maybe I can get a government job.
