Gary Voorhis at the SCU conference: the Nimitz tracks, AARO and UAPx (2024)

15 June 2024 · Watch the original

Gary Voorhis, a former AEGIS and CEC technician on the USS Princeton during the 2004 Nimitz encounters and a co-founder of UAPx, interviewed by the Alternative Science Network at the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies conference in Huntsville in 2024. He describes the tracks he saw before and after Fravor's intercept, relays a second-hand story about the sonar team, says the ship never treated the objects as a threat, and recounts UAPx's meeting with AARO's Sean Kirkpatrick.

Key moments

  1. 6:00 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis: nobody really knows what the UAP phenomenon is; from what he tracked in the service, all he can honestly say is that he saw technology he can't explain.
  2. 10:12 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis: they took the radar data without making him sign an NDA, but he heard from a sonar-room sailor (“after he had been drinking, so take it with a grain of salt”) that the sonar team caught a passive track of the object and were made to sign NDAs under threat of jail.
  3. 11:15 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis says he only heard of the ballistic-missile warning in Kevin Day's account recently, has no idea where it came from, and it's a question for Day.
  4. 12:38 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis: he saw the tracks drop from 28,000 feet to sea level only after the intercept; before it they sat at about 30,000 feet doing one to 100 knots, “almost floating across the sky”.
  5. 13:29 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis: they left the objects alone, tracking them for seven days, and then sent an F/A-18 to see what they were.
  6. 24:44 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis: no officers rushed to the scopes, no general quarters, no threat assessment, unlike any unknown aircraft without IFF; they were told to check their systems, and the tracks were still there.
  7. 29:40 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis: UAPx met Sean Kirkpatrick of AARO and briefed him on its first expedition; Kirkpatrick asked good technical questions (had they checked with NOAA?), but they never heard back.
  8. 33:57 Gary Voorhis: Voorhis on UAPx's aim: many instruments synced in time and geolocated (visible, thermal, UV, radiation, RF, weather) so a sighting comes with a rich data set, not one camera.
