The commanding officer of the US Navy supercarrier, the
USS Nimitz, has revealed his crew has an 'obligation' to make sure the airspace
is clear of UFOs.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Captain Max
Clark said it's important his ship and everybody on it is kept safe from
Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) - the term for UFOs used by the Navy.
This comes just weeks after the Office of Naval
Intelligence revealed the existence of a classified, unreleased video relating
to the Nimitz carrier group's 2004 encounters with a 'Tic Tac'-shaped UFO.
The existence of the video was revealed in a response to
a Freedom of Information Act request made by researcher Christian Lambright,
and published by Lambright's friend Paul Dean.
The video is likely the full version of a leaked
76-second video clip that the Defense Department admitted in 2017 was
authentic.

The footage was taken by a pilot using a Forward Looking
Infrared (FLIR) gun-pod camera on an F/A-18 Super Hornet flying over the
Pacific Ocean.
Speaking to DailyMail.com on the bridge of the Nimitz,
Captain Clark said of the bizarre encounter: 'From my perspective we have an
obligation to make sure the airspace is clear, whether it's UAP (Unidentified
Aerial Phenomenon) or UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), this is part of the air
space.
Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for Britain's
Ministry
of Defence in the 1990s, said Captain
Clark's comments come as a surprise
because
there are 'huge sensitivities' over the
Nimitz incidente.

'It adds another level of... from a pilot's point of
view, to see and avoid, and also our radar systems looking for things like that
too, just to make sure everybody's safe.'
Philadelphia native Captain Clark, who assumed command of
Nimitz on August 1, 2019, wasn't on board the Nimitz when the unusual sighting
was recorded 16 years ago.
And the experienced officer wouldn't be drawn further on
the video or the Navy's close encounters of the third kind.
Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs in an official capacity
for Britain's Ministry of Defence in the 1990s, said Captain Clark's comments
come as a surprise.
The commentator told DailyMail.com: 'These are
fascinating comments and it's interesting they were made at all, because the
Department of Defence recently took over responding to all UFO-related
questions from the media, following some tension between them and the US Navy.
'But ship's captains are strong-willed characters who
don't take kindly to being muzzled.
'That said, the captain was totally on-message, because
the official line involves talking in general terms about the need to guard
against unauthorized incursions into restricted military airspace, with the aim
of promoting safety.
'What's being downplayed by everyone is the staggering
fact that the US government still doesn't know what these objects are.
'The DOD's line is that the objects seen by naval
aviators during the USS Nimitz incident remain "unidentified".'
Pope added that there are 'huge sensitivities' over the
Nimitz incident and the recent admission by the US Navy that it has the secret
unreleased video has put the affair back in the spotlight. And Captain Clark's
comments further fuel the speculation surrounding the footage which has baffled
the world.
At least six Super Hornet pilots made visual or
instrument contact with the UFO on November 14, 2004.
The encounters, which are documented in numerous
interviews with first-hand witnesses, remain a mystery, and the object's
incredible speed and movements have led to speculation that it was
extraterrestrial in origin.

The original FLIR video from the Nimitz encounters leaked
online as early as 2007.
Witnesses say that clips of the video had been circulated
widely on the Navy's intranet - used to communicate between ships in the
carrier group - and an unknown sailor in the group likely first leaked it.
The clip became one of the most-touted pieces of evidence
in the UFO community when the Pentagon confirmed its authenticity in 2017.
Last month, Chad Underwood, the former Navy aviator who
shot the famous leaked video clip, broke his silence in an interview with New
York Magazine.
He said the oblong, wingless 'Tic Tac' shaped object was
spotted off the coast of Mexico over the Pacific.
He also revealed that for about two weeks, the
Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Princeton, part of Carrier Strike
Group 11, had been tracking mysterious aircraft intermittently for two weeks on
an advanced AN/SPY-1B passive radar.
The radar contacts were so inexplicable that the system
was even shut down and restarted to to check for bugs - but operators continued
to track the unknown aircraft.
Then on November 14, Commander David Fravor says he was
flying in an F/A-18F Super Hornet when he made visual contact with the object,
which seemed to dive below the water, resurface, and speed out of sight when he
tried to approach it.
As Fravor landed on the deck of the Nimitz, Underwood was
just gearing up to take off on his own training run.
Fravor told Underwood about the bizarre encounter, and
urged Underwood to keep his eyes open.
He recalls how he suddenly saw a blip on his radar before
tracking it on his FLIR camera.
'The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic
it was behaving,' Underwood told the magazine.
'And what I mean by “erratic” is that its changes in
altitude, air speed, and aspect were just unlike things that I’ve ever
encountered before flying against other air targets.'
The FOIA response letter above revealed that Office of
Naval Intelligence has 'TOP SECRET' briefing slides and 'SECRET' video related
to the 2004 USS Nimitz carrier group encounters.

Underwood says the object wasn't obeying the laws of
physics and dropped from 50,000 feet altitude to 100 feet in seconds, which he
says, 'isn't possible'.
Underwood added that he saw no signs of an engine heat
plume or any sign of propulsion.
The pilot refuses to speculate as to whether the object
is an alien spacecraft or not, however.
'That’s not my job. But I saw something. And it was also
seen, via eyeballs, by both my commanding officer, Dave Fravor, and the Marine
Corps Hornet squadron commanding officer who was out there as well.'
DailyMail.com spoke to Nimitz commanding officer Captain
Clark about the incident after being invited onboard the awesome 95,000 ton
vessel earlier this month.
We joined the crew on a five day training mission in the
Pacific Ocean and witnessed first hand it's awesome capabilities.
Capable of reaching more than 30 knots (35mph) the
Nimitz-class supercarrier is one of ten nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in
the US Fleet.
We observed flight operations as F/A-18 Super Hornets,
EA-18G Growlers and a handful of F-35C stealth strike fighters were launched
off the ship and brought in to land.
The Nimitz is the lead ship of her class, one of the
largest warships in the world and the flagship of Carrier Strike Group Eleven
(CSG-11) with Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) embarked.
Its homeport is Naval Base Kitsap in Washington and the
vessel is named for legendary fleet admiral Chester W. Nimitz (1885–1966), who
helped the US defeat the Japanese Navy in World War II.

é leitor, acredito que estamos no limiar de um novo mundo, quando a humanidade
começará (quem sabe) a descer do seu pedestal e perceber que não tem nada de
especial e precisará amadurecer como espécie se quiser sobreviver e se espalhar
pelo Cosmos. E vale dizer leitor que, mesmo o nosso amigo 'Cel. Lester' não tendo
confirmado a presença do 'ET de Varginha' nas instalações do IEAv, e da
total descrença do nosso amigo 'Rui Botelho' sobre o tema, algo está acontecendo lá
fora e precisa ser investigado com seriedade pela ciência convencional inves de
negar fatos inegáveis, fatos estes que já se estendem por décadas sem serem estudados com o
comprometimento e seriedade que se espera da ciência convencional. Aproveito
para agradecer ao nosso leitor Prof. Júlio Cesar Guedes Antunes, uma amante do
tema e testemunha por si só de um fato ufológico que, quem sabe em breve, venha
revelar aos nossos leitores.
