Witnesses expose hidden details of 2004 ‘Tic Tac’ UFO sighting by Navy pilots

August 23, 2024 12:29 pm

Witnesses of a well-known 2004 UFO sighting have shared that “Tic-Tac” shaped objects, seen flying at incredible speeds by Navy pilots off the coast of California, were also detected on sonar moving underwater at high speeds.

Two Navy officers told DailyMail.com that a large amount of detailed radar, sonar, and other data about these mysterious objects was sent to a Naval base onshore.

They believe the government is hiding something, as the Pentagon now claims the data is missing.

A Department of Defense source who investigated the incident said they were informed about sonar data from a nearby submarine, which tracked the UFOs moving underwater at over 460 mph during the encounter.

Retired Navy Cmdr. David Fravor, who led the F/A-18F squadron on the USS Nimitz, reported spotting an unusual object during a flight off the Southern California coast on November 14, 2004.

Fravor encountered a roughly 40-foot white object shaped like a Tic-Tac, with no windows or wings, hovering above the ocean, which appeared disturbed by something large beneath the surface.

In a 2021 interview with “60 Minutes,” the navy pilot described his experience.

He and Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich were training with the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group about 100 miles southwest of San Diego when advanced radar on the USS Princeton, part of their training group, detected “multiple anomalous aerial vehicles” beyond the horizon.

The objects were seen dropping 80,000 feet in less than a second, which made Fravor and Dietrich decide to investigate it.

During a testimony to Congress last year, Fravor explained that as he circled the object, it mimicked his movements before suddenly accelerating past him at thousands of miles per hour.

Remarkably, it stopped a second later at a secret pre-designated rendezvous point 60 miles away, a location known only to Fravor and a few Navy personnel on his ship before the training exercise.

F-18 pilot Lieutenant Chad Underwood then flew out and captured the object on video.

This footage was later published by the New York Times in 2017, sparking widespread curiosity about what the government might know about UFOs.

Kevin Day, the Senior Chief Operations Specialist on the USS Princeton and responsible for monitoring the skies with radar to protect the Nimitz, shared with DailyMail.com that in the 10 days leading up to the incident, he had seen similar objects on his radar, exhibiting unusual behavior.

100 years ago, the ‘Big Listen’ tuned in to messages from Mars

August 23, 2024 at 9:49 a.m. EDT

In 1924, David Todd sought to boldly listen where no one had listened before.

The eccentric American astronomer enlisted the U.S. Army and Navy, an engineer who helped invent moving images, and a top cryptographer.

Then, a century ago this week, Todd hushed radio stations and flicked on a receiver in a bid to detect alien signals from Mars.

With any luck, he’d get a conversation going.

Skeptics scoffed, and worriers fretted about unintended consequences as the Red Planet loomed closer to the Earth than it had in hundreds of years.

Ultimately, the “Big Listen” failed to turn up any little green men, chatty or otherwise. But it was still a milestone in human history, one that leads directly to today’s multimillion-dollar projects to detect signals from other worlds.

“This project really kicked off the modern era of the search for extraterrestrial life,” said Samantha M. Thompson, curator of astronomy at the National Air and Space Museum.

There are big differences between the quests of 1924 and today, of course, and not just in terms of ET-detecting technology.

Now, seekers are looking for evidence of life in other solar systems. In contrast, their counterparts in the early 20th century were obsessed by a single planet, the reddest one of all.

Mars has long boasted a special mystique. It’s colorful even to the naked eye, and its name — that of the Roman god of war — evokes strength.

“And it’s not a big ball of gas like Jupiter or a cloud-shrouded orb like Venus. What we see doesn’t look totally alien and unfamiliar, so we could imagine life being there,” said Lee Billings, an editor at Scientific American and author of the book “Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars.”

Speculation about life on Mars reached a fever pitch in the late 19th and early 20th centuries thanks to a convergence of science and imagination.

As astronomers debated the discovery of seemingly man-made “canals” on the planet’s surface (they were actually illusions), the rise of science fiction novels like H.G. Wells’s “The War of the Worlds” turned Martians into icons of popular culture.

At the same time, radio pioneers like Guglielmo Marconi and Nikola Tesla wondered if aliens had produced the same technology.

“The first transatlantic radio broadcast was in 1901, and we had a sense that we’re sending signals out into space,” said Thompson, the astronomy curator.

“If someone else is sending signals out into space, and they can hear us, maybe we can hear them.”

In Massachusetts, Todd, an Amherst College astronomer, was especially intrigued by the prospect of inhabited planets. An unusual man, he spent time in mental institutions, wrote racy poems and worried that the Earth needed to be shielded from a sun that was doomed to soon break apart.

He also had an open relationship with his wife, Mabel, who herself had an affair with the married brother of Emily Dickinson and played a crucial role in preserving the poet’s work.

“He was, how shall we say, really troubled. He may have been schizophrenic, or he may have had bipolar disorder.

But he had an incredibly creative mind,” said Tufts University senior lecturer Julie Dobrow, author of “After Emily: Two Remarkable Women and the Legacy of America’s Greatest Poet.”

For years, Todd had tried unsuccessfully to tune in to Mars by sending wireless receivers skyward in a hot-air balloon. By 1924, he had a new plan.

At “opposition” in late summer, Mars would come unusually close to Earth, nearing within about 34 million miles.

Todd hoped he could convince the world’s radio stations to go silent for 5 minutes every hour for three days that August so scientists could listen for Martian signals.

Only a few American radio stations, along with one in Argentina, seem to have ultimately complied with Todd’s request for silence.

But the astronomer had more luck getting cooperation from the U.S. Army and Navy, whose radio operators listened for unusual signals.

At the same time, Charles Francis Jenkins, an inventor who helped develop movies and television, assisted Todd with the recording of radio waves on paper for later analysis, and military cryptologist William F. Friedman stood by to decipher any alien communications.

(Later, in World War II, Friedman would help decode crucial Japanese military transmissions).

Skepticism was rampant. When it came to communicating with Mars, “radio is certainly not equal to the problem,” a Harvard professor told a reporter, adding that the idea of rocket travel to the moon was “equally absurd.”

Some observers worried that Earthlings should let sleeping aliens lie.

As the New York Times put it in a 1919 editorial titled “Let the Stars Alone,” “quite possibly there are even yet more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophy, and it would be better to find them out in our own slow, blundering way rather than have knowledge for which we are unprepared precipitated on us by superior intelligences.”

Todd and an international team of space listeners went ahead anyway, although they didn’t realize the Earth’s atmosphere blocked the radio waves from space that they were trying to detect.

Perhaps as a result, they failed to confirm any signs of intelligence, although a radio wave printout seemed to show a “crudely drawn face,” and radio engineers reported hearing a “z-z-zip” sound and the word “eunza” via Morse code.

Interest in life on Mars dwindled for the next few decades as it became clear that the planet wasn’t very hospitable. But science fiction fanned humanity’s fascination with aliens, as did the rapid rise of UFO sightings starting around the 1950s. (The U.S. military has investigated UFOS since the 1940s, and earlier this year, the Department of Defense announced the findings of a congressionally mandated report into this work. The report said there’s no evidence that the government ever confirmed the existence of “extraterrestrial technology.”)

And the discovery of radio waves from space beyond the solar system invigorated the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, now known as SETI, and spawned the field of radio astronomy.

That effort came with new challenges.

“Part of the problem is to separate an artificial extraterrestrial signal from all the radio waves emanating naturally from various objects in space like radio galaxies, and even from planets like Jupiter,” said Steven J. Dick, an author and former NASA chief historian based in Ashburn, Va.

“Also, the radio frequency band is very broad, like a radio station with billions of channels.

Modern SETI efforts can look at millions of channels at a time. Whether there are ETs out there, and whether they would have radio telescopes, is another question.”

Now, a $100 million project called Breakthrough Listen is searching for radio signals from aliens.

It sparked media interest in 2020 when scientists noticed a “signal of interest” from a nearby star called Proxima Centauri.

But ET wasn’t calling after all.

There are other SETI efforts afoot, including investigations of planets outside the solar system and efforts to detect extraplanetary laser pulses and alien-built “megastructures.”

Meanwhile, a Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) program aims to send messages outward.

Just as a century ago, people are worried about where this is all heading.

“Attempting to communicate with extraterrestrials, if they do exist, could be extremely dangerous for us,” warned physicist Mark Buchanan in a 2021 Washington Post commentary.

There’s long been a push-and-pull about whether reaching out to aliens is a good idea, according to science writer Jaime Green, author of “The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos.”

Among worriers, there’s an “idea that if they know that we’re here, they’re going to come get us,” she said.

But unlike in 1924, we’re now aware of our own capacity to snuff out our civilization, whether it’s through nuclear war or climate change.

What if aliens figured out how to prevent this doomsday from happening? Maybe, she said, “they could teach us how to make it through.”

Are aliens real & why UFOs are only seen in the US and not in India? ISRO Chairman Somanath reveals all

8/23/2024, 3:01:16 PM

Aliens- myths or hidden living creatures? Well, the world keeps on debating on the topic but hasn't reached any conclusion.

Keeping aside the conspiracy theories, many videos often go viral on social media with the claims that UFOs have been spotted.

Such videos mostly come from the United States or the South American region. US Space Agency even conducted a UFO report in which it probed into hundreds of UFO sightings.

NASA in its report stated that there was no evidence aliens were behind the unexplained phenomena, but the space agency also could not rule out that possibility.

Now, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman Dr. S Somnath has finally broken his silence on whether aliens are real or not and even revealed why UFO sightings are common in the US but not in India.

Are aliens real?

ISRO Chairman Dr. S Somnath who was featured in Ranveer Allahabadia's podcast said-

"Aliens always fascinate. Aliens we call are intelligent people living things sometimes more intelligent than us or not that much intelligent than us.

We call ourselves evolved creates now. You know everything, you know how to communicate, and technology is also with us.

But, just imagine, 100 years ago we were nothing. You did not have a camera, microphones, etc. Nothing was there.

Our history is not 100 years. Our history is a million years. The whole human race evolved over millions of years but in the last 100 years, you achieved all of these like you are talking about going to space and talking about aliens, etc.

Just imagine there is another civilization out there that is just 200 years behind you. They are very good but they don't have this technology.

Just imagine another way. There is a civilization that is 1000 years ahead of you. 1000 years is nothing on the cosmic scale.

So, they will be so evolved in 100 years you can make this much progress, just imagine the next 100 years where will you be or assume in the next 1000 years where you will be in terms of progress of technology.

So, a society, an evolution, a system, or an alien system that is 100 years progressive then you will always be here. They must be listening to your podcast.

They will treat you like an earthworm. For us, we are nowhere. So, I always believe there are aliens around us that have evolved.

Because we are not the ones that have come in recent times. We were the very recent origin of life forms.

Possibly there are origins of life and much evolved life everywhere in the universe no doubt about it.

Why UFOs are only spotted in America & South America?

On UFO sightings in the US and not in India, Dr. Somnath said, "Many times these types of observations are much more feasible in the Northern latitudes and Southern latitudes.

You know equatorial regions are always cloudy. If you look at Africa, India, or South Asian nations; all these nations are in the equator.

The Europeans, Northern Europeans, and Americans are in the northern latitudes, and in the southern latitudes, you do not have any nation other than Australia.

So, if any events of this nature especially events in the sky where there is a..for example, auroras you can see in the northern sides, the solar-related effects are mostly seen in the northern side even the cyclones and other activities are more on the other sides not on the equator.

The Equator has different climatic conditions and is mostly covered. The sky is mostly dark, not blue.

If you go in the US you will see the sky more blue than India. It's not due to pollution alone, it's due to various content of water vapor in there and many things so this is scientific.

Now, there is non-scientific reason. Americans have a nature to predict so many things all around and make a story out of it and many of the UFO stories are mostly fabricated.

They are not real stories. Some of them might be true, but I cannot comment on it because I have not seen it. "

On being asked whether Earth is visited by the extraterrestrial, Somnath answered, "Absolutely, no doubt about it.

My conscience says I do not have proof but there are aliens out in the universe.

Aliens mean living systems are there, and cultures are there in other parts of the universe.

They would have definitely visited us if they are ahead in technology than us say 1000 or 10,000 years ahead."

Ex-Pentagon official claims US has recovered nonhuman specimens

Aug 22, 2024 / 02:29 PM CDT

Former Pentagon insider Luis Elizondo says the Department of Defense has a spacecraft crash retrieval program and has recovered nonhuman specimens.

In a NewsNation special, Elizondo reveals more than any Pentagon official has done before, naming the government agencies and aerospace companies he says possess these alleged spacecraft.

Elizondo told NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart that the U.S. government recovered one of two unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) during Roswell 1947.

“The United States has been involved in the recovery of objects, vehicles of unknown origin that are neither from our country or any other foreign country that we’re aware of,” Elizondo said.

“We as a nation have been interested in not only the vehicles themselves but the occupants of these vehicles; to include biological specimens… We’re not alone.

We are not alone in this universe and it is a simple fact. The U.S. government has been aware of that fact for decades.”

The Department of Defense has rebuked Elizondo’s comments in a statement to NewsNation, denying the existence of any “credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity.”

“As we have stated previously, Luis Elizondo had no assigned responsibilities for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) while assigned to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security,” Sue Gough, Department of Defense spokesperson told NewsNation.

“The department is fully committed to openness and accountability to Congress and the American people, which it must balance with its obligation to protect sensitive information, sources, and methods… To date we have not found any credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity.

“To date, AARO has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

UFO believers push back on that sentiment, contending that the Pentagon is running a disinformation campaign to discredit Elizondo.

Additionally, they believe Elizondo’s involvement in the UAP program at the Pentagon has been confirmed multiple times.

Those include a letter from former Assistant Dep. Sec. of Defense Chris Mellon to Sen. Harry Reid that allegedly confirmed Elizondo’s specific role in AATIP.

Also, internal DoD emails since made public also allegedly indicate that Elizondo was running AATIP.
