The 2004 Nimitz UAP Encounter: Radar Confirmation, Pilot Testimony, and the FLIR1 Video

To the point

On November 14, 2004, off the Southern California coast, Navy pilots Commander David Fravor and Lieutenant Commander Alex Dietrich, with the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and radar from the USS Princeton, encountered a silent 40‑foot white, wingless craft with no exhaust that seemed to defy physics as mysterious objects dropped from 60,000 feet to sea level, hovered, and shot away, an event later captured on the FLIR1 video released by the Pentagon, with some data reportedly vanished or classified, fueling suspicions of a cover‑up and leading many experts to call it one of the strongest U.S. military UAP cases because radar, eyewitness pilot accounts, and video all align with no conventional explanation.
