  • The UFO, estimated to be the size of three 747s, was tracked by both civilian and military radar.
INSIGHT

Nimitz Radar Anomalies

  • The Nimitz encounter involved anomalous radar targets appearing at 80,000 feet and moving in erratic ways.
  • These targets would descend to the ocean surface in under a second, demonstrating impossible acceleration.
INSIGHT

Impossible Acceleration

  • An object tracked during the Nimitz incident descended 28,000 feet in 0.78 seconds.
  • This implies an acceleration of over 5,000 Gs, far beyond human technology.
