Alex Dietrich

Now admittedly, the way that Coyne and his crew described their interaction with that object, it beaming a light at them and seemingly lifting or levitating their helicopter while they were there hovering and looking at this thing in front of them.

Yes, that experience was a little more dramatic than the 2004 Nimitz incident, but still, what Commander Fravor and the other pilots, Alex Dietrich and the others who were involved in that incident back in 2004, what they described was no less harrowing.

In fact, as we pointed out on the podcast some time ago when we discussed this episode fairly recently, we revisited this case and some of the things in the documents, the deep dives and the details, and a lot of people wrote in and said, you know, you talked about things about that case on that episode I have never heard anywhere.

To which I would simply say, well, you got to be a documents geek like I am and go read the firsthand documents and the investigations, the transcripts, the interviews, the FOIA documents that have been released with the quotes from the pilots.

And the one that stood out to me from that whole series of documents and that deep dive I did was Alex Dietrich saying, here it was three years after 9-11.

We were asked if we were carrying ordnance and we weren't.

We didn't have any weapons, in other words.

So we have to use our plane if we encounter a threat.

So either way

... there's Gary Nolan's study on that, and also it came to my attention after talking to Alex Dietrich that she is familiar with a doctor that's doing some research in the same thing, I believe in Hawaii.

So do you have any, this, any laboratory way of doing any metall- metallurgy, however you say that?

Metallurgical.

You know, like a racing car driver.

driver.I know, you know, when I interviewed, uh, Alex Dietrich about her, her time, she said it was just another boring day launching off of the [laughs] aircraft carrier, you know, and she said that she had a heart rate monitor on, monitor on.

It would be just, like, level until, you know, they, they went and they saw the Tic Tac situation, you know, then-

That was a brilliant interview, by the...

Absolutely.

You know what I mean? It really, it really, uh...

I'm, I'm with you and with, um, and with Alex Dietrich and other people that just say, "I don't know what it is." That's what Alex says, "I don't know what it is.

I'm not gonna claim that I know what it is." And I'm with her and you on that, and not that it was our tech.

...

I say this, that's a long time ago, and as, uh, I i- when I interviewed Alex Dietrich, she kept going, looking like, "What? That was 22 years ago." Is it-

Yeah

... is it burned in your memory what happened though during that event?

I should totally put that together and keep the original film as it is and then expand upon it." So it went from 30 minutes up to an hour, and Jimmy's part of it really holds it all together, I think.

And just so everyone knows, this, this video that Dave had created has six and a half million views, and he was kind enough- To the world not to monetize that, and [laughs] that's a lot of money you say goodbye to.

And so I decided to do the same thing with Alex Dietrich.

Her interview has 80,000.

Chris Lado, welcome to Lado Files.

In the 2004 Nimitz Tic Tac incident, seasoned Navy radar operator Kevin Day reported objects initially in space and then saw them dropping from 28,000 feet down to sea level in less than a second, while pilots David Fravor and Alex Dietrich had a direct visual encounter.

There was no boom.

There was no heat, no explosion.

And has no reason to, to lie about it.

I mean, you know, I, uh, well, anyways, before we move on about the, uh, move on symposium, you met Alex Dietrich.

Wow.

So

These shows are always at 8:00 PM Eastern, unless announced otherwise.

So this one I've been working with Dave Beaty, who helped me with the Alex Dietrich interview.

If you haven't seen that, there's, it's getting a lot of action.

There's a lot of people really interested in the great things that Alex Dietr- Dietrich has to say.
