In 2004, fighter pilots🛩 of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group observed a radar-visual encounter of an unidentified flying object.🛸 Trailing behind the USS Nimitz, the USS Princeton noticed that this object dropped from 28k ft to near sea level in less than a second. The pilots described the object as 30-46 ft long, with no wings, windshield, visible engine, or exhaust plume. In 2017, infrared footage of this encounter was released to the public. #Contact | Science Channel
