“Meet navy vet AD1(AW) Ryan Weigelt. Ryan was present
on the USS Princeton (CG-59) during the tic tac encounters of November, 2004.
He was a helicopter maintenance training instructor. As a member of the
squadron assigned to the ship with HSL-43 Detachment 5, the ‘Battlecats’, Ryan
was a LPO or leading petty officer, training up to 20 people pre-deployment on
the operations and maintenance of the SH-60B Seahawks. Ryan’s navy career
spanned 15 years before he left the service in 2012. His extensive expertise in
Sea Hawk system maintenance and operations covers all aspects of the
anti-submarine helicopters. During the workups off San Diego , Ryan witnessed several very
unusual events that lend credence to the reports from the other navy vets as told
in the Nimitz Encounters documentary. Listen as Ryan recounts those events for
the first time. I conducted this interview Friday October 11th. Ryan has
provided me with his DD-214 Military Separation Papers and I have photo’s
proving his navy career. He was an aviation machinists’ mate petty officer
first class, anti-submarine warfare operator.”

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.”
