The USS Nimmit's tic tac encounter. Hi,
0:03
Malcolm Walker here with something
0:04
different on Wild but true. In today's
0:07
video, we're going to talk about a
0:08
confirmed UFO encounter that was
0:10
witnessed by US Navy pilots from the
0:12
aircraft carrier WSS Nimmits back in
0:14
2004 off the coast of California. This
0:18
is one of the most famous modern UFO
0:20
sightings ever recorded.
0:22
And this is our US Navy. On November
0:25
14th, 2004, two US Navy pilots from the
0:28
USS Nimtts were flying back to the
0:31
aircraft carrier after completing an
0:33
aerial refueling mission. They were
0:34
about 50 mi off the coast of San Diego
0:37
when they spotted what they described as
0:39
a white tic tac-shaped object flying
0:41
erratically through the air at
0:43
incredible speeds. According to their
0:44
report, the object was about 47 ft in
0:47
length and appeared to be made of a
0:49
white shiny metal. It was moving so fast
0:51
that they couldn't determine its exact
0:53
speed, but they estimated it was
0:55
traveling at least three times the speed
0:57
of sound. The pilots also reported that
1:00
the object was making no noise
1:01
whatsoever, even though it was moving at
1:04
such a high velocity. This was the first
1:06
sighting of the object. What really
1:08
makes this encounter scary is what
1:10
happens next. The pilots watched as the
1:12
object suddenly dropped from 80,000 ft
1:16
down to sea level in less than a second.
1:19
For reference, that's roughly the height
1:21
of 10 American football fields stacked
1:23
on top of each other. It then turned
1:25
rates and disappeared into the ocean.
1:28
The pilots immediately reported what
1:29
they had seen to the ship, which
1:31
dispatched a helicopter to go search for
1:33
the object, but it was nowhere to be
1:35
found. Now, let's take a look at the
1:37
status of this case. This encounter was
1:40
not only witnessed by two experienced US
1:42
Navy pilots, but there was also video
1:44
footage taken of the incident. The
1:47
footage was not released to the public
1:48
until years later when it was
1:50
declassified.
1:51
Even the Pentagon has confirmed the
1:53
authenticity of the video, stating that
1:55
it is a quote legitimate aerial
1:57
phenomenon. So, what does that mean? It
2:00
means that we can be pretty confident
2:02
that what these pilots saw was real and
2:04
that it was not simply a case of pilot
2:06
error or a hoax. In fact, the Pentagon
2:08
has been investigating UFOs more
2:10
seriously in recent years and has even
2:13
gone on record admitting that there are
2:14
certain videos that they cannot explain.
2:17
This particular video is one of those
2:19
videos. So, what do you think? Is this
2:22
just a simple case of pilot error or
2:24
could this be evidence of
2:25
extraterrestrial life? Let me know your
2:28
thoughts in the comments below. In
2:30
addition to the video footage, there
2:32
were also radar readings that confirmed
2:33
the presence of the object. The radar
2:36
data showed a large object moving very
2:38
quickly, consistent with the pilot's
2:40
report. Unfortunately, the radar data
2:43
was not released to the public along
2:44
with the video footage. In response to
2:46
the incident, the Navy conducted an
2:48
investigation but was unable to come up
2:50
with any plausible explanation. One
2:53
possible explanation that has been
2:54
offered is that the pilots saw a secret
2:56
military aircraft. However, this is
2:59
unlikely since the Navy keeps its
3:02
aircraft carriers well guarded and there
3:04
were no unauthorized aircraft in the
3:06
area at the time. Another possibility is
3:08
that the pilots witnessed a highly
3:10
advanced form of technology that is not
3:12
yet known to science. This would be
3:14
consistent with the object's unusual
3:16
appearance and behavior. However,
3:19
without further evidence, it is
3:20
impossible to say for sure. The
3:22
encounter was kept under wraps for
3:24
several years until it was declassified
3:26
in 2017. Since then, it has become one
3:29
of the most famous UFO sightings ever
3:31
recorded. Some people believe that the
3:33
object was a secret military craft being
3:36
tested off the coast of California.
3:38
Others believe that it was a foreign
3:39
spycraft. Still others believe that it
3:41
was extraterrestrial in origin. There is
3:44
no evidence to support any of these
3:45
claims. What do you think? Was this just
3:48
a simple case of mistaken identity or
3:51
could this be evidence of
3:52
extraterrestrial life visiting our
3:54
world? Let me know your thoughts in the
