BAASS’s November 2010 capabilities report describes its DIA-funded personnel, sensors, Project Capella databases and engineering software. It revisits the 2004 Nimitz encounter and demonstrates fluid-flow, underwater-acoustic and radar-cross-section models. The calculations depend on assumed conditions and limited testimony; they do not measure an unknown vehicle’s propulsion or establish the report’s speculative cloaking and undersea interpretations.

The Nimitz encounter
Enter the ocean setting of the Nimitz encounter.
Enter experienceUSS Nimitz (CVN-68) is the lead ship of the U.S. Navy’s Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Commissioned in 1975 and named for Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the carrier has supported operations across the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, and Pacific. Its mission is to conduct and coordinate carrier air warfare with an embarked air wing.
Nimitz is a ship and command, not a conventional membership organization, despite this record’s entity type. Thousands of sailors, aviators, maintainers, intelligence personnel, and air-traffic specialists operate through the carrier strike group. Records can therefore originate with the ship, its air wing, an escort, a shore command, or another unit without being interchangeable. A carrier does not operate alone. During deployment it serves within a strike group that includes surface escorts and may coordinate with submarines, shore commands, and airborne surveillance. The embarked air wing is a separate command composed of multiple squadrons. This layered structure explains why logs and testimony from the same day can carry different unit names without describing different incidents.
The carrier is central to the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac Encounter. The incident involved radar observations associated with USS Princeton and visual observations by Navy aviators operating from Nimitz, followed by infrared footage from a later flight. The ship’s name is shorthand for the event, but careful reconstruction must preserve which platform and crew produced each observation.
Nimitz matters in the public record as the operational hub that connects witnesses, aircraft, sensors, and command reporting in a landmark UAP case. Its long service history is context, not evidence about the object’s identity. Strong analysis follows the timeline and custody of each record rather than attributing every datum to the carrier itself.
Over 234,000 UFO sighting reports. Eleven databases. One framework built to compare encounters systematically. That was Project Capella, one of the most significant achievements of the BAASS program. One database was titled “Post Utah Ranch Effects.” To my knowledge, Capella has been kept classified, which is a shame, because it could be an extremely valuable research tool. I get into Capella, the Nimitz analysis, and more in this video. Watch on YouTube: https://t.co/2dVrIhywJN
Dr. Paul Smith was tasked by an agency to Remote View the 2004 Nimitz Incident in 2011. 6 Years Before it was made Public. 🛸 Full Interview out now! https://t.co/AfN2lOnE6V
Is this accurate, Alex? Stratton tells Hannity: The first time he contacted @DietrichVFA41 in 2009 to talk about the Tic-Tac case, she hung up on him. He called back, and the 2nd time, she didn't hang up. She let out a sigh of relief once she realized it wasn't a prank. Stratton says she had been harassed and ridiculed so much when she was on the Nimitz, right after the incident in 2004, that she had not wanted to talk about it. That changed with Stratton's call.
?si=sRNQUE07Cl3-IWT4 I’ve been reading about the RB-47 incident, and I’m surprised by how rarely I see it discussed compared with Roswell, the Nimitz encounter, or the Phoenix Lights. For anyone unfamiliar: on July 17, 1957, a US Air Force RB-47 reconnaissance aircraft carrying six crew members reported a sequence of unusual observations during a flight across the southern United States. What makes it interesting is the combination of evidence: Visual sightings: th...
The Pentagon released its seventh tranche of UAP records today (October 23, 2026), and there are some genuinely interesting documents worth examining. Independent archivists have catalogued 28 new PDFs totaling approximately 1,139 pages. Here are several things that stood out: 1. A 2026 black triangle sighting involving federal agents (DOW-UAP-D176 and FBI-UAP-D043) Three federal agents reportedly observed a matte-black triangular object, approximately 13–15 feet wide, near a sensitive facili...
7th tranche released on October 23rd, 2026 I have had a skim through the contents - no videos or 'smoking gun' photos are available - however there are a lot of documents related to BAAS (Robert Bigelows) company. The BAAS documents are quite interesting. For example, there is a 2010 document titled "DOW-UAP-D175-BAASS_Self-Assessment_of_UAP_Analysis_Capabilities_November_2010", which is an indepth analysis of the Tic Tac Nimitz encounter - something that was not publicly disclosed until 2017...

I built https://wherearethey.info, a network that connects the dots on UAP and NHI disclosure. The people, incidents, programs, hearings and documents of the UAP story, laid out as one map you can explore. You can pick a thread and pull it. For example start with David Fravor and you're one click from the Nimitz incident, then from the other pilots and radar operators who were there, then from the 2023 hearing where he testified under oath, then from the exact second he says it in the video....

The Nimitz video is one example. It was suspected of being a filmmaking hoax when it appeared online in 2007. According to this writeup of the original discussion, the person who posted it was even banned for hoaxing, years before the Pentagon confirmed it was Navy footage. What other cases are there? By authentic I mean actual footage, not necessarily aliens. Would love links to the original hoax claims and whatever later cleared it up.
Do I recommend @jaystratton's book? That's a huge, yes! I'm about 25% through. A few "issues" I have.... Lue is barely mentioned. Three times? The applicati [Quoted] Is there a 7-10 minute video of the Tic Tac? IMO, this LAP (Long-Ass Post) is worth your time. Took several hours. I'm tired! :-) "There is a chance that [the Tic Tac] is extremely advanced technology that either we reverse engineered or just actually came up with ourselves.” ~USS Princeton Witness - Gary Voorhis - 2019 (Unless y...
