Senior Ops Officer Aboard USS Nimitz Discusses UFO Encounter
Since the New York Times disclosed the existence of the Pentagon’s secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which studied military encounters with UFOs, much speculation has floated regarding the program’s findings and who exactly was involved. Now, a crew member aboard the USS Princeton, involved in the 2004 Nimitz encounter with a Tic-Tac- shaped UFO, has come forward to share some of the high strangeness he’s experienced since that incident 14 years ago.
Kevin Day was a Senior Chief Operations Specialist aboard the USS Princeton in November of 2004 and is mentioned (though his surname is redacted) in the Executive Summary of the incident officially released by the Pentagon.
Day recently spoke to UFO researcher Mike Damante about his subsequent experiences in the years following the event, including a newfound psychic faculty, he claims, gave him advanced cognition, heightened intellect, and the ability to manifest things he desired in life. Day says he also began having vivid dreams of global apocalyptic events that lead to flashbacks in his waking life and severe anxiety.
Though he refrained from speaking out immediately after the incident, and even after it was publicized by the New York Times last year, Day authored a fictional story based on the changes he’s perceived in himself since the Nimitz incident, titled “The See’r.” The story, published in 2009, parallels his experiences from five years earlier when he was privy to the encounter from the USS Princeton’s Combat Information Center (CIC).
Writing his accounts as “fiction” helped him recount his experiences, leaving evidence of the UFO encounter and its high strangeness “in plain sight” as he describes it.
“Writing it as fiction provided me a way of attempting to describe the very nature of what we had encountered, to capture the weirdness of it,” Day said. “And although ‘The See’r’ is certainly fantastical, so too was the actual event. In fact, it is entirely possible the actual truth will turn out to be far, far stranger than my fictional story line.”
Perhaps the most striking part of Day’s story is that the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) in which the Princeton and Nimitz were part of, had been tracking these UFOs – or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) as the military refers to them – for several days before the recorded encounter by two of the group’s F/A-18 fighter jets.
Day said that in the days before the encounter he had been tracking and observing the UAPs without his colleagues seeming to notice. He waited for the rest of his crew in the CIC to comment on them, but no one would. Some chalk this up to the stigma associated with reporting such sightings when in charge of multi-billion machinery – no one wants to risk their reputation, or worse, their jobs to report what might be construed as an alien spaceship.
What bewildered Day was the fact that he was not just seeing a few anomalies, but what appeared to be an entire fleet of airborne objects operating above them. When he eventually said something, he said everyone acted as if they suddenly knew about the objects and had been observing them as well. That’s when the F/A-18s were deployed. Day’s account of the fleet of UAPs was later corroborated in an interview given by Luis Elizondo, the former director of AATIP.
After the event, Day said he has been contacted by men he can only describe as “spooks,” though he hasn’t been involved in any studies conducted by the government related to the incident. He has however, been in talks with Elizondo and Tom DeLonge, but is unable to give any more details.
We look forward to whatever else will be released because according to former Sen. Maj. Leader Harry Reid, there’s a lot more that may be “hiding in plain sight.”

Constitutional Attorney Explains History of Government UFO Secrecy
Constitutional attorney Daniel Sheehan is one of the more credible and informed sources on the history of UFO non-disclosure. Having been involved with a number of cases tangentially related to the government’s UFO secrecy, he offers an insider’s view and sets the record straight about how private corporations have controlled government policy and why they have waged a disinformation campaign to protect their interests and consolidate power.
Over the past few years, the Pentagon has pivoted to admitting that UFOs (now referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena or UAPs) are a real phenomenon. However, the question remains as to whether the public is being told the truth or whether a deeper cover-up is taking place.
There are some in the world of ufology who may wonder what Sheehan’s motives are, and which side of the fence he’s on, regarding his decision to take on former counterintelligence officer Luis Elizondo, as a client. But before addressing this question, Sheehan carefully recounts the strange history leading up to our contemporary period of ostensible disclosure.
After the Civil War, a group of roughly 30 families sought to dominate the instrumentalities of the United States by consolidating power into corporate structures that would influence global, geopolitical mechanisms, according to Sheehan. This group laid the foundation for a power structure that has maintained control for nearly two centuries, propping up fascist regimes in the aftermath of both World Wars, including the Third Reich.
By the time of the Roswell Incident of 1947, and in the post-WWII climate, the fledgling power brokers of the late-1800s were already well in control of the military-industrial complex.
When alien technology from the crash was studied, these groups found a way to monopolize it “so they could use it to the advantage of the United States and the western allies in the Cold War,” Sheehan said.
This strategy was operational up until 1991 when the Soviet Union dissolved. At this point, the United States, as well as all of Western civilization, began figuring out how to reorient itself after this decades-long confrontation.
