I'm on my way
to meet Kevin Day,

who is a former chief radar
officer for the Navy.

Years ago, Kevin was stationed
off the coast of California,

and he actually had
a front-row seat

to one of the biggest
UFO sightings

in the 21st century --
the Nimitz video.

♪♪

NARRATOR: In 2004, the
U.S.S. Nimitz aircraft carrier

was on a combat training mission
off the coast of San Diego

when Officer Kevin Day
had an encounter

with an unidentified
flying object.

♪♪

The cylindrical object
in the shape of a Tic Tac

hovered somewhere between 15,000
and 20,000 feet in midair

and then suddenly darted off.

13 years later,
video of the encounter

was leaked
to The New York Times.

The video is considered the
gold standard of UFO encounters.

And to this day,

analysts have been unable
to identify the craft.

There's simply no denying
that this was a UFO.

Kevin Day was the radar operator
on the Nimitz that day.

Since leaving the Navy,

he's been warned not to discuss
what he saw.

But he's agreed to meet with Ben
no matter the risk.

Been waiting a long time
to meet you.

I have some very
specific questions

I'd like to take some notes on,
if you don't mind.

But why don't we start out...
Yeah.

...first of all -- Could you
take me back to that day?

You bet.
Tell me, like, what
was it like through your eyes?

[ Radio chatter ]

In the morning of the 14th,

we had planned to do
a major air-defense exercise,

so we were off the coast about
90 miles off San Diego that day.

♪♪

I was up on watch. I was
anti-air-warfare coordinator.

I'm the actual guy
that makes the identifications.

My whole job is
to identify stuff that flies.

Okay.

♪♪

And I notice these really
strange contacts

off Catalina Island.

They were at 28,000 feet
in a real loose formation,

and they were tracking south
at 100 knots.

♪♪

Interesting. I'm a pilot.
I can see why you're like,

"Whoa, what's something that
slow doing this
high up?"

I had never seen anything
fly like that
before it.

Immediately we're thinking,
"Hey, are these things real?

You know,
is there some type of glitch?"

So -- And we ran a bunch
of diagnostic tests,

and we brought
all our systems back up.

And the contacts, they
were stronger now.

The objects seem to ping-pong
through the sky,

changing speed and directions
in ways

that defy the laws of physics.

That's when I became concerned
about these things.

And I strongly recommended
we take one of the aircraft

that just launched off
the Nimitz

and go intercept one
and see what it is.

Commander Fravor happened
to be airborne.

He was one of the first
to launch off the Nimitz.

One of the best pilots the
Navy's probably ever produced.

So I said, "Hey, let's
intercept one of these things."

As soon as that happened,
he's like,

"Oh, my God, oh, my God!
I'm engaged! I'm engaged!"

Pilots describe the object

as a white 40-foot-long
Tic-Tac-shaped craft.

That object
dropped from 28,000 feet

down to the surface of the water
in less than a second.

to go check this out," right?

So he leaves his wingman
up high,

to the surface,

and this thing
recognizes him.

And next thing you know,
phew, this thing's gone.

there was nothing

they were curious

about what you guys
were doing out there?

I'm gonna speculate here,
Ben,

because I don't know,

but I think they'd been there
for a long, long time.

And I'm gonna speculate
even a little bit further.

I think that technology upgrade
that our ship had received,

So based on what you were
seeing on your radar scope,

the video,

do we have an estimate

was going a little bit in excess

can survive maybe 15 --

14, 15 G's

These things are there.
They're right in our airspace.

he thinks knows the truth --

Jennie Zeidman,

Project Blue Book.

Starting in 1952,
Project Blue Book analyzed

thousands of UFO encounters.

Like Kevin, Jennie has never
gone public with what she knows.

But she's agreed to share
what the government knows about

the UFOs and grant
Ben access to her case files.

Jennie, Mark, I just had
a really great conversation

with Kevin Day
of the U.S.S. Nimitz case.

A very personal, up-close,
kind of terrifying experience

that these military pilots
had with this UFO.

♪♪

If they had been hostile,

there was nothing
I could have done.

Jennie,
what do you think of this?

This was a horrible,
scary thing,

'cause you not only couldn't
control anything about it --

You didn't even know
what it was.

Narrator: Joining Jennie and Ben
is UFO historian Mark O'Connell.

All we know for sure is, he was
very close to
this object.

But what is it?

It's an enigma
wrapped up in a mystery.

NARRATOR:
But it's not the first time

Jennie's heard accounts
of an oval-shaped craft

playing games
with American military pilots.

Jennie sends Mark to dig up

one of the cases
in her archive --

the Coyne UFO helicopter case
of 1973.

There was a profusion of UFO
cases in the fall of 1973.

Most of them were in
the eastern United States.

Among them,
the Coyne helicopter case.

Most of the time
with UFO reports,

there's one person.

But the Coyne case
had separate witnesses.

NARRATOR: Several witnesses

all reported seeing
the same thing --

a cylindrical object

flying across the sky
at incredible speeds,

just like
the Nimitz Tic Tac Video.

Coming up, could it be
that the Tic Tac UFO

that engaged our Top Gun pilots
has visited us before?

NARRATOR: In 2004, Kevin Day
and two Navy pilots

off the California coast

very dangerous games.

To find out, Ben is meeting
with Jennie Zeidman,

the last surviving member

Her research into a 1973 case
in which a helicopter

encountered a UFO
might hold the answer.

So that means that these are
truly unidentified objects.

You were over several months
talking to them,

so each rendition --
Oh, over months.

ever changed.

By this time, I had been working
on the case so long

And I'm looking at this

Kevin Day's description.

What they described
as a Tic Tac, right?

Cylindrical,
no wings, no tail.

how similar.

We have 1973,

something such as this.
Right?

Is it possible we're dealing
with the same phenomena,

the same craft?
Or the same model.

Same type of class
or, like you said, model.

Maybe it was
a very popular model.

It's interesting that
both cases we're talking

about -- the Nimitz case
and the Coyne copter case --

Why are they so curious

about interfering with
with military aircraft?

What are they looking for?
What are they testing?

hints of from time to time.

Could this be the very same UFO
that visited pilot Rick Jezzi

during the infamous
Coyne incident of 1973?

JEZZI:
I only got to see the object.

It was directly above us.

And what I noticed
was a very bright white light.

It was close enough
to be a major concern.

To avoid collision,
Coyne attempted a rapid descent,

but instead
the Tic-Tac-shaped object

pulled the helicopter
towards it.

By the crew members' accounts,

they climbed from 1,700 feet

to 3,500 feet in 10 seconds.

...all the way to the horizon,
where it disappeared.

After it passed,
we got back to altitude.

We flew back to
Cleveland Hopkins and landed.

First reaction was,
we contacted the FAA.

They weren't flying.

Every aircraft was down
that day.

HANSEN: Huh.

With no flights airborne
at the time of the encounter,

the strange craft was truly
an unidentified object.

So we reported it
as a near miss,

and that was the official
position that
was taken.

Wow. Okay.

Well, that's
quite the experience.

When you landed as a crew, you
made the official reports,

but did they do
any follow-up with that?

Did they find this
concerning?

No, there was no follow-up
from the military at all.

None at all?
None at all.

Wow.

My puzzlement is, why would
the military, the FAA,

not be more concerned
of finding out?

Oh, I think the military know
a lot more than they say,

but obviously
they're not discussing it.

Now, one of the things true
that happened

was that the mag compass
on that helicopter

never functioned
the same way as it did before.

At times, it would just spin
on its own.

Really?
And then it would stop,

and it would point
someplace

that it shouldn't
be pointing to.

It was weird.
It was replaced later.

Unfortunately, that piece
of hard evidence

appears to have been destroyed
and the story covered up.

Did you ever talk
to each other about, like,

"Hey, should we talk
to the public about this?"

There was some sensitivity
about being embarrassed.

I mean, "who were these kooks
who saw a UFO?"

of the discussions

Rick's experienced
a terrifying encounter

similar to Kevin Day's.

have the same question --

Why did the government
cover it up?

Something unexplainable
happened to Rick's helicopter.

When they attempted
to descend, the helicopter

instead ascended 8,500 feet
in a matter of seconds.

Is it possible that the UFO
was pulling it up

like a magnetic?

You've gotten the notes

what we're trying to do,
right?

I did.
Great. Let's get started.

All right, sir.

UFOlogists theorize
that extraterrestrial spacecraft

use magnetic forces to propel
themselves through the galaxy.

Could this also account

for the helicopter's
rapid ascent in 1973?

Ben wants to put this theory
to the test.

John, are you rolling
right now?

helicopter is not going to be

able to make that rate of climb
naturally within 10 seconds.

I just don't see it happening.
We're left with the "X" factor.

Some external force had
to have created this scenario

where the helicopter ascended
1,800 feet

in 10 to 12 seconds.

NARRATOR: Ben is now convinced
that the helicopter was

somehow manipulated
by the Tic-Tac-shaped UFO

it encountered.

But the question remains --

How did the Tic Tac
achieve this, and why?

To find out, Ben is meeting
with a local UFO expert

who claims to have
never-before-revealed info

on the Coyne helicopter case.

Hey, you must be Tom.

I'm Tom.

Nice to meet you.

So...

thank you so much
for meeting me here.

I'm really interested
to first know --

How did you get started

investigating
the Coyne copter case?

One thing that really made me
start digging

in this whole case --
You've got trace evidence

from mechanical issues
on the helicopter.

I'm a pilot. And when you
do maintenance on any aircraft,

that maintenance
follows the aircraft

for the life
of the plane,

the helicopter.
You're required to.

Do you know if the military
made official documentation

of those effects
on the craft

or what happened
to it afterward?

Well, here's the problem.
When you dig into it,

you find out that the compass
was swapped out,

and after 90 days,

they threw away
the documentation

associated with it.

After -- Wait a sec.
So...

Yeah, yeah. Right.

Then they went back later on

and started talking to the crew
about some unusual dreams.

What they related to --
out-of-body experiences.

Kevin Day in 2004
and Rick's crew in 1973

both discussed
having residual nightmares

after their UFO encounters.

My concerns actually manifested
into the nightmares.

Tsunamis, tidal waves,
earthquakes, forest fires,

floods, that type of stuff.

They want to know about
the content of the dreams,

and they want to know
all about the dreams.
That's right.

We want to know
about the dreams.

So who was it that asked them
about their dreams?

It came from
the surgeon general's office.

Has the government long known
that apocalyptic nightmares

were an aftereffect
of UFO encounters?

What happened
to the helicopter after that?

Well, that one
is a good question,

because that's your biggest
piece

of physical evidence.
Right.

I track down
the tail number,

find out that the helicopter
was pulled out of service,

reassigned another number,
and sent to Colombia.

I found WikiLeaks documents
to that effect.
Really?

Yes. This helicopter
in March of 2009 crashed,

killing all four crewmen
on board.

And it wasn't because
it was shot down.
Huh.

What if this helicopter had
ongoing mechanical issues?

What if you found maybe
magnetic effects

on the helicopter
all these years later?

Based on Tom's research,

is it possible that
the 1973 UFO encounter damaged

the helicopter,
which, in turn, caused it

to crash years later
in the jungles of Colombia?

Awesome. Tom, you've given me
so much information.

Thank you.
Thank you.

HANSEN: Tom has really gone
the extra mile

in a lot of aspects
of this case.

He actually tried to track down
where the helicopter went.

I mean, the question is,
are some of the problems

that contributed to the crash
related to this UFO incident?

NARRATOR:
A bigger question remains --

With the similarities
of the two incidents,

how many other pilots and crew

They're clearly superior
in performance

to any known aerial phenomena,
including airplanes.

I have a hard time believing
that they're a human technology

wherever they're from.

Do you think we're prepared?
If this were malevolent,

if they have, you know,
bad intentions,

do you think we're prepared

to meet
with such superior technology?

No, no.

Unequivocally no.

We're talking about something
very, very different,

and we've had no real
preparation for it.

Just rumors.

If you take all these factors
together,

I don't know why the media
especially or the government

doesn't take more notice
of these things

because they're significant,

they could be potentially
very dangerous,

and they're happening.

That's a good synopsis
right there.

All right.
Well, Ted, thank you so much.

You've given me a lot
to think about.

Everything that you've done
to collect these reports

I think is very important.

And I appreciate your time.

Thank you very much, Ben.
Thank you.

Ted and the NARCAP organization
have been studying

UFO pilot reports for decades,
and what he concludes

is that these are not
conventional craft.

They are probably not from here.
They're extraterrestrial.

And I think that that is
confirming what I've been seeing

in the Coyne copter case
and with the Nimitz video.

So if these are the types
of reports we're getting,

that are coming forward,
think about all the others

we're not receiving.

NARRATOR:
Dipping into NARCAP's archives,

Ben turns up a shocking video

taken by two
documentary filmmakers.

Has the Tic Tac craft
been sighted once again?

Ben is meeting back up
with Kevin Day

and legendary UFOlogist
Dr. Bruce Maccabee

to find out their opinions.

I'd like to start with
this video

that we obtained from a more
recent case out of Beaver, Utah.

And I'd just like
your opinions on this.

♪♪

-There.
-Right there.

So, so fast.

Here's
a slowed-down version,

but as you see
it come here...

DAY: Came down through
that far valley and phew!

Ostensibly this does come
from that valley, right?

It appears that way.
It is a long distance away.

It's a big thing, and it's
going at extremely
high speed.

Coming out of the --
Right here.

Okay,
it starts to take shape.

I'm noticing the shape of it
seems similar.

I mean,
how would you describe that?

I look at that
and say pill shape, Tic Tac.

Looks like a Tic Tac.
Yeah.

NARRATOR: 15 years after
Kevin Day's encounter

with an alien craft
off the California coast...

These objects totally kicked
our [bleep] asses.

...the same visitors
may be back.

Is our government hiding
a clear and present danger?

How would you describe that?

Looks like a Tic Tac.
Yeah.

Are we perhaps looking at
the same phenomenon?

That's
my personal speculation.

NARRATOR:
The craft Kevin encountered,

the one that pulled
Rick Jezzi's helicopter,

and this new object out of Utah

all share the signature
Tic Tac shape.

So, Bruce, I'm sure
you've looked over this.

What is your take
when you initially saw this?

I often wonder whether somebody
got his head chopped off

for the release
of this stuff.

Anyway, this thing,
whatever it was,

was out of its cage
playing with us.

Yeah.

Here, they're saying,
"We can do something

you can't do."
Whoosh!

It's the type of thing
that's been reported for years,

but people
didn't believe it.

Previously, the government
has tried

to keep this whole subject
at arm's length.

And if everybody who was
a witness fell off a cliff,

the government wouldn't care.

So what you're saying is,
they may have been seeing

the same types of objects,

but they were just seeing it
differently?

Well, they didn't know
how to interpret it.

We have suspected that
the government is doing more

than they're saying
for years.

The problem is, they can't keep
the UFOs themselves quiet.

So the whole phenomenon
is being driven by them.

♪♪

All righty,
thank you very much.

After meeting with Bruce
and Kevin,

Ben returns home
with Jennie's file.

Based on his investigation,
Rick and his crew

likely encountered
something otherworldly.

Whatever it was, it's returned.

♪♪

HANSEN: So there's still one
piece of the puzzle

that I'm not
completely sure about.

What was the government's role
in all of this?

Kevin Day
and the helicopter crew --

They really didn't
give testimony

the attention that it deserved.

And then the government
went completely silent.

So I was researching this,

and something
really interesting happened.

The Nimitz video has now become
the central focus
of the media

because the Pentagon came out
and said,

"Not only do we confirm
that the video's authentic,

but it depicts a truly
unidentified flying object."

In response, a retired
government official

issued the following
statement --

"I'm glad the Pentagon is
finally releasing this footage,

but it only scratches
the surface of research

and materials available.

The American people
deserve to be informed."

Personally, I'm glad that the
Pentagon has finally come clean

with the existence of UFOs.

But the Tic Tac mystery still
remains an unexplained threat.

I mean, should we be
more concerned

as to why these objects
suddenly reappeared again?

And should our pilots
be prepared

for more close encounters
like Rick and Kevin experienced?

If these Tic Tac UFOs
are piloted by extraterrestrials

who are technologically
light-years ahead of us,

should we be afraid?

My search for answers continues.
