Was it the FLIR1 video from Nimitz that was supposed to be 10 minutes long with much better quality than what we have now according to few witnesses?

My god if that would leak, it would change a lot of peoples mind. Do you think if the really delicious stuff (like the mentioned video or the dummy nuclear missile getting shut down) is in a database or they just have physical copies of the tape for security reasons?

I can't find the exact record of the incident, but long story short, sometime in the 50/60's videographer for the army that records and tracks rocket and missile tests( they use a telescope with a camera attached to it) unknowingly tracked a UFO circling and eventually shooting down a test missile. It was only realized after the film real was processed. A couple of guys showed up and told him not to talk about it. He ending up being a high ranking member of the military and then started talking about the incident.

Without a reliable source, it's just a story.

This is the Airforce Lieutenant who witnessed it, on Larry King. There are four parts and they talk about different cases with multiple witnesses. This hit is a good one but it's definitely worth watching all 4 parts.

Look up UFOs and Nukes, talks about the history of the UFO phenomenon and how it seems to occur disproportionately around nuclear sites

Pretty silly given the context.

how fast was the object going in the navy's infrared auto-lock video?

2

u/Tim226 Apr 27 '20

Fast enough for them to lose the auto lock

As far as I remember it has been believably shown that the loss of auto-lock at the end of the video was due to the FLIR not being able to rotate any further because of mechanical restrictions. The object then slowly moved out of frame because the instrument was not able to follow.

But hey, I could be wrong here.
