Kevin Day was a radar operator for the Navy and working with the latest and greatest radar and tracking technology onboard the USS Princeton on November 10, 2004. He was highly trained, highly qualified, and highly respected for his skills – so people took notice when he spotted something on the radar that wasn’t supposed to be there. He reported it up the food chain because that was his job. November 10 was an important day, four military pilots were conducting training exercises and the new radar equipment was tracking their flight. It could just be malfunctioning equipment, but if something was up there that wasn’t supposed to be there, the pilots' lives were potentially at risk. Kevin had no choice but to report the anomaly and the pilots were directed to try and get a look. They got more than a look. All four saw the object with their own eyes, and one of them filmed the object. They all agreed, whatever it was, it was an unknown object flying and defying the laws of physics (damn you and your laws, physics!).
After reporting the incident, and after the US Government landed a black-hawk helicopter onto the air carrier and flew off with the film, Kevin’s career took a hit. People made fun of him. His military commander asked him WTF had he been smoking that day. The incident followed him and kept him from getting promotions – he was “that UFO guy” and that was all it took for him to be labeled a kook.
Then in 2017, 13 years later, the video was leaked online. It took the US Government another 3 years to say out-loud that the video was authentic, but they finally did in April of 2020 – in the middle of a global pandemic when the entire world was on fire and everyone was praying that American democracy wasn’t going to collapse under the weight of a giant orange crybaby toddler – so no surprise that people were kind of paying attention to other things.
But Kevin noticed, and he’s here to say he deserves an apology for a decade of abuse and scorn for simply doing his job one day in November 2004…
Note: there are 3 unrelated military observations of UFOs and the link to all 3 videos is here: https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/2165713/statement-by-the-department-of-defense-on-the-release-of-historical-navy-videos/
