The article reports on the November 2004 USS Nimitz Carrier
Strike Group 11 UFO incidents.
Popular Mechanics chats with Kevin Day, Patrick J.
Hughes, Jason Turner, Gary Voorhis and Ryan Weigelt.
The November 2004 USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group 11
UFO incidents occurred about a hundred miles south west of San Diego, California.
The main UFO incident occurred on 14 November 2004 (Fravor and Slaight).
To my knowledge, ten U.S. Navy personnel, Sean Cahill,
Kevin M. Day, David Fravor, Patrick J. Hughes, Omar Lara, Jim Slaight, Jason
Turner, Chad Underwood, Gary Voorhis and Ryan Weigelt, have talked (or written)
about the UFO incidents on the Internet.
Sean Cahill was the Chief Master-at-Arms aboard the
USS Princeton.
Kevin M. Day was a Senior Chief Petty Officer (radar
operator) aboard the USS
Princeton.
David Fravor, who chased the UFO (resembled a white
Tic Tac), was flying his F/A-18F
Super Hornet jet fighter.
At the time of the UFO incident, Fravor was the
commanding officer of the VFA-41 Black Aces, a U.S. Navy strike fighter
squadron.
P. J. Hughes was an aviation technician aboard the USS
Nimitz.
Omar Lara was a Flight Decker in Air Ops aboard the
USS Nimitz.
Lieutenant Commander (later Commander) Jim Slaight was
the pilot of the second F/A-18F
Super Hornet jet fighter (the David Fravor incident).
Jason Turner was a Petty Officer Third Class (in
Supply) aboard the USS Princeton.
F/A-18F
Super Hornet fighter pilot Lieutenant Chad Underwood filmed (on 14 November
2004) the Tic Tac (FLIR1) UFO using a Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting
Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod. The UFO was filmed a while after David
Fravor’s incident.
Gary Voorhis was a Fire Controlman Petty Officer Third
Class aboard the USS Princeton.
AD1(AW) Ryan Weigelt, Aviation Machinist’s Mate Petty
Officer 1st Class, was present on the USS Princeton during the November 2004
UFO encounters.
A large number of UFOs were recorded on radar on and
off for several days during the November 2004 U.S. Navy exercise, according to
USS Princeton radar operator Kevin M. Day.
Gary Voorhis experienced that the unknown objects
“zoomed around at ridiculous speeds and angles and trajectories,” and that “it
(the UFOs) was moving faster than our radar could register.”
