USS Nimitz UFO 'dropped out of sky next to ship' after crewman fell overboard – Daily Star

A crewman involved with one of the world's most famous UFO sightings says he saw another craft with his own eyes.

Omara Lara was on board the USS Nimitz when a "TicTac" UFO was spotted hurtling at impossible speeds off the Californian coast.

Speaking on the UAP Studies podcast, he said people who haven't been keeping up with the subject since the news of the 2004 sightings would be shocked if they saw what he had seen.

Describing how he spoke with two other Nimitz crewmen who had witnessed the unexplained objects flying around the carrier group over a number of days, he said: "We're basically embedded with this stuff, but if you get the general public who are not part of our subculture, they're going to have different reactions they're going to get scared I don't think entirely everyone is ready.”

Omar told how, aside from the well-documented sightings from fighter aircraft that had been sent to investigate anomalous radar signatures, he had seen something with his own eyes from the deck of the aircraft carrier.

The alert had sounded for a man overboard, and Omar was looking out into the darkness hoping to spot someone.

He explained: "We actually saw this guy, we went over to the deck edge and we saw this guy floating and the current took him way out. That's the only reason why we saw this thing.”

"Along with a crew mate named Rick Palmer, Omar saw something he couldn't explain."It just dropped out from the sky, landed about 40 to 50 feet above the water line and shot off to the right," he recalled.

He stressed that he didn't believe that the UAPs witnessed around the US coast by numerous military personnel could possibly be drones operated by Russian or Chinese spies.

Omar recalled a conversation with another Nimitz sailor after the sightings and speculated that the objects must be extraterrestrial in origin.

"Russia has its own problems with UAPs, China has their own problems with UAPs, because it's a global problem. They're probably thinking on the other side 'It's probably America or Russia,' and then Russia is probably thinking 'It's probably America or the Chinese'.”
