To me the strangest thing about the so-called Nimitz incident is the fact that the Navy apparently had no interest whatsoever in investigating it.  They didn’t even debrief the pilots on what they saw!  The incident was totally forgotten until 13 years later a documentary suddenly appears.  By the way, I unintentionally misstated the case above.  Joe Nickel didn’t write that article in 2004, because nobody heard of the incident until 2017.

That immediately raises my suspicion.  Why didn’t the Navy investigate?  Obviously it couldn’t be because the UFO’s were classified technology.  If that were the case, they would simply have briefed the pilots on what they saw, and the incident would have truly been forgotten.  They wouldn’t have stirred it up again 13 years later.  It seems to me that Joe Nickel’s conclusion is the only thing that makes sense.  The pilot must have seen some ordinary technology, like a drone or something, but in circumstances that made it seem strange to him.  He misinterpreted what he saw.  But he couldn’t accept that he had been fooled.  The old “I know what I saw” syndrome made itself felt.  Once his ego was on board, he couldn’t back down.
