My 3rd experience is the one that made me a 100% believer in the UFO phenomenon. I don't have a lot of details like I would like to because really I think it was meant for us to not have details.
I joined the Navy in 1996 and graduated Boot Camp from Division 116. I was on a SEAL contract but with a SEAL contract you must go to a school before you go off to BUD/s because you have to have something to fall back on with such a high failure record. I chose and Operation Specialist. That is somebody who navigates the ships and operates the radar on the ships. So I went to OS-A school in Virginia Beach, VA. During that time we would go to a secure building with a bunch of radar equipment set up. It was basically a class to teach you how to operate radar and to track ships and aircraft on radar. The equipment looked old as dirt and really... most of the equipment on the ships are actually old as dirt and the same exact things in the class. I didn't know that at the time.
One day the officer teaching us said we were going to run through some simulations to track some unidentified objects. I thought we were going to try and identify objects by their speed, radar signatures, and maneuverability because we had done it before. She said we would be doing this for 3 days. I sat next to my girl who later became my wife... that is a bad story I won't get into... and we continued to be trained on the subject. She said that we were going to track some objects that had been previously recorded. Now all the training we had on these things were either previously recorded actual events on this equipment. All the computer created events were on different equipment. I assume this was because the recorded events were actually on some sort of data tapes and the old equipment couldn't be configured to use the new equipment. The old equipment was actual functional equipment with live radar on top of the building. You could see traffic in the air in real time when they switched it on. So they had data tapes they would put in the system and all of us could see the radar screen the actual way it looked when it was recorded.
We were told that we were tracking object unknown and they were categorized by their flight characteristics. I suddenly perked up because this sounded strange to me. We had a sheet next to our screens that had code words and characteristics next to the words. These were actually names given to these objects. We were to identify what the object was by the chart by its flight characteristics and chart it down on the map with the code word listed on the chart.
We went through the simulations and these objects would move thousands of miles per hour then suddenly stop. Or they would travel in one direction and turn in the opposite direction. They all had set speeds that seemed to indicate what type of object they were. Almost like they were identified only by it's top speed or it turn angle. We did this for 3 days and the class was only an hour and a half or so long per day. I remember one conversation I had with my soon to be wife... "Can you believe this? This is freaking amazing! We are actually tracking things that are supposedly UFO's!" She turned to me and said "Yeah... I always knew they were real though." And she wasn't excited about it or anything. I looked around the classroom and NOBODY was looking excited or anything! Everybody seemed to have this look as if it was just an every day thing. I talked to several people in my class about it and only one other person was half as excited as I was. Everybody else seemed to think this was always known.
It was the moment that I knew... the military knows about these things for certain. But the kicker was the last class and what she told everybody. What she said actually had a couple people whispering to each other. She said... I will try to quote what she said the best I can... "If and when you ever see one of these things here is what will happen... the Captain will down and take the map... he will probably tell you this is a classified matter and not to speak of it... then he will leave and it will be done." A hand raised and a classmate asked "What does he do with it?" She said something like "He will store it in his safe until the ship ports."
I was so amazed I just had to ask her something. I talked to her after class and asked her what she thought of it? It baffled me that she didn't seem so excited. She said something like "It's pretty cool isn't it?" I told her I couldn't believe it and she said not to get too excited about it. I asked her if she had seen this yet and she said no. And that was that... I never heard anything about it again and to this day I have YET to hear anybody come out and talk about that training.
So I am hoping somebody here in this community can share on this subject. I have never found anybody that was an OS and let alone found anybody that has come out and spoken of this. I've told all my friends and family but it never goes anywhere past that. Maybe somebody can shed light on this here?
That's my story on that matter.
