The exposure of the AATIP program, supposedly run by intelligence officer Luis Elizondo, revolved heavily around a particular encounter off the coast of San Diego in 2004 reported by pilots and officers aboard the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group. The incident occurred after a series of radar tracks from unidentified objects traveling off the coast of Los Angeles near Catalina Island were picked up by the Strike Group’s communications vessel, the USS Princeton.

During a routine combat exercise, Super-Hornet Commander David Fravor was leading his squadron over the clear blue skies off the coast of San Diego when he was instructed by the Princeton to delay training for a real-world task to investigate an unidentified radar reading near their location. Upon arrival at the location given by the Princeton, the squadron noticed nothing unusual. The Princeton however, was tracing an object that was hovering at around 28,000 ft then abruptly dropped to sea level within a second, velocities well over the speed of sound. The pilots then noticed a disturbance in the ocean below, a sort of churning white-water estimated to be the size of a Boeing 737 as if something was surfacing just beneath the water. The attention of the pilots was then quickly focused on an object hovering just above the disturbance in the water. A white, oblong Tic-Tac shaped craft with no visible windows, surface features, or noticeable means of propulsion was observed by all of the pilots. The craft was making erratic movements, described as a ping pong ball bouncing around rapidly in a glass jar, “never changing it’s longitudinal axis,” Fravor says.

Fravor engaged the object, banking down to its location. The strange craft seemed to notice Fravor’s presence and began to ascend. Fravor then performed an aggressive maneuver and apprehended the object. The Tic-Tac then quickly accelerated away, beaming out of sight past the pilots.

Understandably, they were stunned.

The squadron began to proceed to their rendezvous point when the Princeton notified the pilots that the object reappeared on radar at the exact location they were told rendevous with the Nimitz Battle Group. It would later be calculated that the object must have exceeded 2,000 mph in order to cover that distance.

The pilots in the next squadron of Super Hornets immediately began to keep an eye out for anything out-of-the-ordinary. Sure enough, they spotted what seemed to be the same object described by Fravor and his team. The pilots recorded the object with onboard FLIR cameras as it hovered in the skies nearby before the pilots lost lock and accelerated out of frame at immense speed (see link).

This is one of three videos released on the internet by To The Stars Academy that have been verified by the Department of Defense as authentic footage of what our government refers to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) or “anomalous aerial vehicle” (AAVs). The other videos appear to show similar craft to the Tic-Tac with no visible means of propulsion displaying vast superiority over our most advanced aircraft and military technology.

This is the first time the U.S. government has openly admitted to the existence and presence of unidentified craft in our air space and across the globe. The occupants of the crafts and their motivation are unknown.

Objects of unknown origin have been reported and investigated in the U.S. since WWII but their presence has permeated U.S. and global culture for generations. The U.S. military has a deep and often withholding connection to the UFO subject, for their interest in objects with superior technological capabilities is not to be unacknowledged. It is important to note that while there is no implicit assumption about the origin of these crafts and their pilots, the likely conclusion we come to when eliminating all other possibilities is most probably Extraterrestrial.

Humans are simply not capable of what these craft have displayed, outperforming our most state of the art weapons systems by light years.

These are likely non-reactionary craft, meaning they operate through completely different physics than conventional aircraft where material is heated up and shot out the back at high velocities to push craft forward.

It is unlikely that a foreign government such as Russia or China could completely leave us in the dust technologically practically overnight.

This is just Occam’s razor at play. The possibility of extraterrestrial or extra-dimensional beings visiting Earth is usually conflated with highly stigmatized phenomena such as Bigfoot or Ghosts, which are actually gaining some level of credence in recent months.

This unfortunate lensing and stigmatization of the UFO subject coupled with government gas-lighting of the public has confused the discourse around this intriguing subject of life beyond Earth.

The Phenomenon (or Phenomena), as I like to refer to it as, has most likely (much uncertainty) spanned back in time to an unknown point of contact or recognition of Homo Sapiens as an intelligent, vastly imaginative, and horrifyingly violent race of ape descendants that have decimated their home planet for natural resources, transformed large portions of unprotected land to feed their rapidly accelerating industrial agriculture engine and growing population, and led the world’s climate and ecosystems to the verge of collapse.

To make matters more complicated and profound, Homo Sapiens have attained the ability to annihilate all life on Earth in a matter of hours, if they choose to do so. Our species has unlocked the incredible power of the atom in a sadistic and homicidal manner as we witnessed in Japan during the culmination of WWII.

As of 2019, there are approximately 9,500 active nuclear warheads possessed by the Sapien Superpowers of the world such as Russia, China, France, the UK, Israel, and most troubling; the U.S. and North Korea with two of the most unstable Sapien Leaders/Authoritarians on Earth, engaging in a pissing match to reassure their pulsating egos and the world that they are the dominant nuclear power.

While current stock-piles are being reduced and there are treaties in place for the banning of nuclear weapons testing, our history with these weapons has been witnessed by something beyond our comprehension in the nearly 2,000 nuclear tests Sapiens have performed on the cosmic stage.

Toying with the idea of a full-blown nuclear exchange through geopolitical power dynamics is a disgusting, horrifying, and deplorable act. The power of these weapons is ungodly, supreme, and there is no technical limit to their potential blast yield, only constrained by engineering practicalities.

It would be foolish to assume the nuclear weapons testing and abnormal heating of our planet done by Sapiens has not caught the attention of an advanced intelligence beyond Earth. There is very little evidence that this intelligence may be hostile or nefarious to our species and life on Earth, but there is a wealth of evidence to suggest a deep concern with the way humans are treating the planet, themselves, and ultimately as we progress as a civilization, other life in the universe which almost certainly exists.
