The USS Nimitz UFO incident - weather balloons?

Image
I have spent a decent amount of time investigating the Nimitz UFO incident and made several posts about it here. My thoughts have converged to what I called my best guess hypothesis . In short, I believe the incident is explained by: Balloons seen on radar Submarine launched balloon(s) seen visually Distant Super Hornet seen on ATFLIR video As I stated in the post linked above: the main questions in my mind have really been "What kind of a balloon was it?" and "Where can I find evidence for it?" This post is about one such candidate, and where the evidence of it might be found. It should be noted though that another more concrete candidate has emerged while this post has been waiting in draft state due to lack of time to finish it. Mike Turber has brought the X-43A launch back to the center stage in a way that goes very much along the same lines as is being proposed below, at least as far as I understand it, and is working on a video for detailing his thoughts. The

Two years ago, I made a post about the Nimitz UFO incident where I compared how some details differ between the reports and witness interviews. I made one significant omission. I left out the accounts given by Princeton radar operators. I noted then that: Those accounts severely contradict all the other primary sources and contain a number of not too credible additions, e.g. multiple other intercepts and a supposed high quality video of a flying saucer. Given those accounts also lack evidence and supportive statements by the primary witnesses, I won't consider them further here.  Five months later Kevin Day himself left a comment where he stated: Don't discount the radar operators in your analysis --- right now, you look pretty silly from my perspective. Otherwise, great report and your skepticism is, as always, justified.  (See the comments section for our full exchange.) Given that I just posted my "best guess" theory about the incident, and promised to

The USS Nimitz Tic Tac UFO - Balloons? Again!

It's been two years since I last made a post here. It was my reality check mostly about the few Pentagon UFO incidents, and some people who tried to make money out of them. I noted back then that what was then called "three of the most unusual videos" had already been debunked. And they still are that just as much. The fact that they are still being hotly debated can only mean it's been a long streak of slow news days on the UFO front. That, lack of new information, and lack of time, have been major reasons for my silence here. But the primary reason, that originally restored my interest towards this topic and led to this blog, has also been the primary reason for my fading interest in it. Yep, it's the Nimitz UFO incident. So how about the one remaining actually interesting part of the story then? That was the sentence I used in my last post to introduce the visual encounter part of the incident. And these excerpts show how I saw the overall situation. If and

AATIP, Tic-Tacs and more - A reality check

It's been a while since my last post on these topics, that is, the so called "Pentagon UFO Program", and the few UFO cases that have been associated with it. There are two primary reasons for that. Firstly, I have been too busy with other things. Secondly, what should I write about? What has really changed? This post is a review and update of the primary events and my thoughts so far. It's really about the history (and History) repeating itself, with the help of people who can't handle the truth, or worse, couldn't care less about it. Whatchamacallit As you can see from the title, I'm having some difficulty inventing a common name for the set of events I'm covering here. I think the fundamental issue is that, in reality, those events have little in common. But the media, and one entertainment company in particular, are eager to present them as if they have. And so, similarly to some other UFO waves, we even have a new term, tic-tac, in use to de
