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.

Think about it a bit... For two weeks this was supposedly happening just offthe coast of San Diego but they didn't attempt to bring in major DOD assets to investigate.

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

You are arguing from silence. That's hazardous.

All we know for sure is that they are NOT ACKNOWLEDGING that they brought in other assets to scrutinize the goings on.

Also, given all the givens, it is somewhat likely that those pilots etc. and/or others on the carrier were already part of black ops experts on such goings on.

And, at that point in time, such things were really very frequent occurrences. It's doubtful that officials thought much new could be learned from that merely latest of thousands of incidents.

"Think about it a bit... For two weeks this was supposedly happening just off the coast of San Diego but they didn't attempt to bring in major DOD assets to investigate.

If you think about it, I doubt they would tell us about any additional "assets" that were brought in to look at this. Just sayin.

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.
