Several U.S. Navy personnel who served aboard the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) say they encountered a mysterious, orb-shaped flying object in 2004 while on duty off the eastern coast of the United States. Nearly two decades later, the incident still defies explanation.
Witnesses who were on the nuclear-powered Nimitz-class supercarrier the night of the incident describe seeing a 20 to 40-foot wide luminous round object, which suddenly appeared and began to hover over the ship’s flight deck.

THE USS RONALD REAGAN UAP ENCOUNTER
During The Debrief’s ongoing investigation, we have identified and interviewed five witnesses who were aboard the USS Reagan during the timeframe of the incident, and who were all able to provide firsthand accounts of having witnessed the UAP. As part of this process, verification of military service was completed using DD-214 military separations documents, the official 2004 USS Ronald Reagan cruise book, and corroborating witness statements.
Although multiple interviews and record checks were conducted, none of the witnesses we spoke with were able to remember the specific date of the encounter.
UAP WITNESS 1
Karol Olesiak was a 3rd class petty officer and Quartermaster on the Ronald Reagan at the time of the incident. His job involved navigation of the ship, working from the main bridge at the navigation table. He was also responsible for the USS Reagan’s official ship logbook during the encounter.
On the day of the UAP event, Karol was Quartermaster of the Watch (QMOW) during the 8:00 PM-12:00 AM time frame. This duty required him to report to the main bridge navigation table and involved coordination of the maneuvering of the vessel.
Olesiak told The Debrief that when he arrived to relieve the previous watch that evening, the outgoing Quartermaster of the Watch indicated something was already going on at that time, though the individual offered no additional information. However, it soon became apparent to Olesiak that something was happening outside above the flight deck.
“I’m pretty sure ‘it’ was there,” Olesiak said. “And they were like, ‘I don’t know what that is. I don’t care.’ You know what I mean? Like they had an attitude like ‘I’m going to my rack. I don’t care. … don’t even bother me about this shit’… So this ‘thing’ is there, the entirety of my watch and because the officers are ignoring it, I’m forced to ignore it.”
Olesiak emphasized that everyone was working 16-hour shifts and unless an issue was life-threatening most problems were prioritized. He stated that his prior training in boot camp indoctrinated him to not question orders. The officer of the watch continued normal bridge operations, he said. Olesiak said he saw a large round and orange-colored glowing object with a fiery surface hovering about 100 feet above the flight deck. He said he viewed this object directly through the windows on the bridge at eye level. Olesiak says the surface of the object reminded him of biblical descriptions of the “burning bush”.
“In the Eastern Orthodox church, they explain the burning Bush as unburnt energy,” Olesiak mused. “When you see it, you are entranced by the novelty of it. You’ve never seen it before. Right? You’ve never seen negative energy… but it’s there. You don’t know what it is, the experience of seeing something you haven’t seen before.”
Olesiak pointed out that the Officer Of the Watch (OOW) and the Conning Officer on the bridge were not alarmed by the object. They continued working as if nothing unusual was going on. When asked to clarify why he did not report his sighting, Olesiak stated that his training required him to defer to senior officers. Since they had observed it and were not reacting, likewise it was his responsibility to stay on task. “It’s a problem when somebody says that it’s a problem. It’s a problem when somebody tells you that it’s a problem.”, He stated. Karol said he was surprised aircraft operations continued.
“And it’s watching the planes, it’s watching the planes get launched,” he said. “For me, even though I’d never seen it before, I thought that this was natural and that, you know, that this was an organic thing that we would, maybe another form of life, maybe, but something we would figure out in the future”
Karol only viewed the object from his position on the bridge. He does not remember seeing the object arrive, or move in any way other than match the speed of the ship which he said was ahead at 22 knots based on flight ops. He believes that the object was in the same location during the entirety of his four-hour watch.
Olesiak first wrote about the sighting on his website in October 2021 (UAP investigator Keith Basterfield brought this article to the attention of Dave Beaty for this report). You can also hear more from Karol Olesiak in this video interview with Dave Beaty (below):

You probably have not seen this—very detailed article with charts listing the various types of alleged extraterrestrials and their characteristics:

Haha. Funny movie
But in this case it was visually seen
If they want to be seen, then why not show up in public,. If they want to be unobserved then they have failed miserably.
Makes as much sense as any other explanation.
I peed fer swamp gas.
More importantly, he is giving us an idea of what (he believes) we are dealing with.
I am an adherent of the old rule, "Know Thine Enemy."
What he is telling us lines up with your comment of their being demons instead of aliens.
What they seek is not contact, per se...or even "Communion."
What they seek is possession (in the Biblical sense).
Just in case that is true, it helps to know such ahead of time.
Absolutely.
There is another option--a middle ground between the 2 you mention.
What if they want to be seen, but they realize that their appearance will scare the living hell out of humans if it is not done gradually...giving us time to adapt to the reality of their existence.
On top of that, imagine that they might be lying about exactly what they are.
My attitude is always to presume someone new to our land (or planet) is probably an enemy. History has shown this to be true time and time again.
If they are not enemies, it will take time to build our trust.
The Debrief has spoken with nearly a dozen witnesses to the 2004 incident, allowing documentation of this remarkable observation of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)
Who knows! Maybe same reason some wildlife photographers will set up blinds from which to shoot, even when the animals can see cars going by on a nearby highway or planes flying overhead.
It's not las if a monkey is ever going to comprehend the motivations behind the photographers or the drivers anyway even if you tried to explain it to them in bananas.
5 on watch witnesses, all corroborating the same sighting. I have no problem with their statements......What do they have to gain by lying, especially one or two of them wishing to remain anonymous?
Drives me nuts when people are too damn lazy to read the posted article and only comment on the excerpt......

See the link in post #41.
“They” is like calling all humans “they” with all the different human cultures and motivations.
Pretending there is one “they” is one reason folks are so befuddled by this stuff.
Wrong sport.
The first rule of acronyms is that you ALWAYS define the acronym when first used.
Writing for business, Gov, or simply Grammar 101.
God does miracles, Angels use technology, and there are good Angels and bad Angels.
A characteristic common to many but not all encounters (see abductions) is the supposed alien races lie repeatedly. On the orther hand there are encounters such as Travis Walton’s, where the supposed aliens did him no harm and probably saved his life. I attribute the none human looking ‘aliebns’ to cloned and manufactured bio drones used to deceive humans.
Where did they not define the acronym?
Sorry sport, you're either blind or can't read..........
Much of the abduction discussion has the same basic cast of characters (short and tall grays, mantids on rare occasions).
As to who or what is behind the various lights, tic-tacs, triangles, etc., who knows?
How could you miss it unless you were too stupid to actually read the article?
There it is, right in front of your eyes. So stop it with your nonsense.........Sheesh!
