Alex Dietrich

Lt. Alex Dietrich is a former US Navy pilot who gained recognition for her involvement in a 2004 encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO) off the coast of San Diego. The incident, which occurred on November 14, 2004, involved the USS Nimitz, a US Navy aircraft carrier, and a group of fighter jets that were conducting training exercises in the area. The pilots encountered a mysterious object, which they described as a “tic-tac” shaped craft, that appeared to be moving in ways that were impossible for any known aircraft. The encounter gained attention because the pilots reported that the object appeared to be moving in ways that were impossible for any known aircraft, suggesting that it may have been an extraterrestrial craft.

The encounter with the UFO is scientifically noteworthy due to several details. Firstly, the object was observed exhibiting high-speed movements and accelerations that were not consistent with any known aircraft. Secondly, the object was observed on radar and infrared sensors, suggesting that it was a physical object rather than a visual illusion or a hallucination. Finally, the pilots reported that the object was able to change altitude and direction without any visible means of propulsion, indicating that it may have been using advanced technology that is not currently understood by mainstream science.

1. The encounter was documented in a classified report that was leaked to the public in 2017. The report, which was prepared by a program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), described the encounter as an “unidentified aerial phenomenon” and confirmed that the object exhibited “advanced technology” that was not consistent with any known aircraft.

2. In 2020, the US Department of Defense released three declassified videos that showed the encounter from the perspective of the fighter jet pilots. The videos, which had previously been leaked to the public, confirmed the pilots’ accounts of the object’s movements and added to the mounting evidence that the encounter was not a misidentification.

In the interview, she confirmed that the object exhibited movements that were “not natural” and described feeling a sense of “awe” and “excitement” during the encounter. (Source: The New York Times)

During this event, she was flying in an F/A-18F Super Hornet with her commanding officer, Cmdr. David Fravor.

Her testimony is consistent with that of Cmdr. Fravor. According to their accounts, on November 14, 2004, they were conducting a routine training mission off the coast of Southern California when they received a radio message from the USS Princeton, an Aegis-class cruiser. The Princeton reported unidentified aerial objects in the area and asked the pilots to investigate.

Upon reaching the area, both Dietrich and Fravor observed an object that appeared as a white, elongated oval, or “Tic Tac” shape, hovering erratically above the water. The object was estimated to be about 40 feet long and had no wings, rotors, or visible means of propulsion. The pilots reported that the object demonstrated incredible speed and maneuverability, far beyond the capabilities of any known human-made aircraft.

During the encounter, the object appeared to react to the pilots’ presence and movements. At one point, Cmdr. Fravor attempted to engage with the object by descending towards it, but the object quickly ascended and mirrored his movements before it abruptly disappeared.

Dietrich and Fravor both reported their observations to their superiors, and the incident was documented. The Pentagon eventually released three videos of the encounter in 2020, which had been leaked earlier, fueling public interest and debate about the nature of these unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

Lt. Alex Dietrich is a highly trained and experienced pilot who has no reason to make false claims about her encounter. The leaked report and declassified videos also lend credibility to the pilots’ accounts.
