But we have lots of evidence about the Nimitz incident that doesn't appear to have anything to do with AAWSAP/AATIP. There's a video that the government has confirmed as being authentic and showing an object they consider to be unidentified. Further there are many (not sure the exact count, but I would say about a dozen) witnesses who have come forward and whose stories are broadly consistent. One of them is a retired Navy Commander who commanded a fighter squadron on the Nimitz and who has described visual observations of phenomena that appear to defy the laws of physics as we understand them. His testimony was supported by 3 or 4 other witnesses who observed the same event. So whatever opinion one may have about AAWSAP/AATIP, I don't see how the credibility of those programs impacts that of the Nimitz incident.

>So whatever opinion one may have about AAWSAP/AATIP, I don't see how the credibility of those programs impacts that of the Nimitz incident. Perhaps surprisingly, this is actually what I've been trying to say. It appears my communication and reading comprehension skills leave an incredible amount to be desired. In your first reply, when you mentioned the Nimitz incident ("I don't see how it could explain the 2004 Nimitz incident though."), I read 'it' as "your bunch-of-quacks assertion". I thought you were saying that in order for my assertion to be true, it had to somehow explain the Nimitz incident. The confusion has flowed from there. I apologize for it! (My long analogy didn't help things. I should have chosen something much more mundane than vampires (or indicated that many people considered the vampire theory plausible). My bias against the exotic technology explanations for the Nimitz incident made me forget that people consider it much more plausible than I do. It's possible I grew too attached to the little story I'd written and forgot it had to actually communicate something!)
