Nimitz Carrier Group UFO Witness Claims Seeing "Tic Tac" Craft Gave Him "Advanced Cognition" and Apocalyptic Dreams

10/10/2018

​In the late nineteenth century, Theosophy’s leading light, Helena Blavatsky, found herself in need of a way to justify using fictional concepts in Theosophy’s growing menagerie of occult claims. Many Theosophists were taken with Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s concept of vril, a substance of great energy and power found in his novel The Coming Race, so Blavatsky justified the use of vril in her own occult worldview by postulating that science fiction writers were able to tap into the ethereal realm without being aware of it and therefore wrote the occult truth under the cover of fiction, entirely unaware of their own revelations’ reality.
At the dawn of the UFO era, Ray Palmer, the editor of Amazing Stories, told his readers that the fantastical tales Richard Shaver spun of underground and interstellar races and their spacecraft were all true but had to be disguised with a romance storyline and the trappings of fiction. And many readers believed the lie, even if a large number recognized the truth.
 
I’ve related this information many times before, but I have to keep bringing it up because it maintains a strange relevance in the face of new claims that fiction hides facts too important or dangerous to reveal.
 
The latest exemplar comes to use from the punctuation-challenged pen of Kevin Day, the air intercept controller serving aboard the USS Princeton during the so-called “Tic-Tac” encounter with a UFO by servicemembers in the Nimitz carrier group in 2004. Skeptics have raised a number of questions about the incident, and no evidence of extraterrestrial or extradimensional origins for the apparent object in the sky has been produced. The incident became famous in December of last year when the To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science publicized infrared video of the incident in conjunction with a New York Times report revealing the existence of a Pentagon program to study unidentified aerial phenomena. Members of that program and its Robert Bigelow-controlled subcontractor had joined To the Stars at its inception two months earlier.
 
Day claims that he wrote about the incident in 2008 in a short story entitled “The See’r” (sic) in his collection Sailors Anthology Book’s I and II (sic). In a recent interview with Mike Damante of Punk Rock and UFOs, Day said that “writing it as fiction provided me a way of attempting to describe the very nature of what we had encountered. To capture the weirdness of it.” I have difficulty imagining that it is necessary to make up fake facts and imagine fake people to describe one’s own experiences. The autobiographical novel has a long tradition, and many writers have claimed that it allowed them to explore emotional truths that facts alone could not, or that it gave them the ability to protect the innocent by disguising them. Several memoir writers, like James Frey, admitted to fabricating parts of their own life stories to make for better than real tales. But in all these cases, the mixing of fact and fiction muddies the waters. They may speak to emotional truths, but they are worthless as factual reports.
 
But the more Day talks, the less reliable he becomes. As he speaks, we learn that he displays signs frequently associated with fantasy prone personalities. He claims that merely witnessing the “Tic Tac” UFO has given him what Punk Rock and UFOs calls “advanced cognition,” which manifests as apocalyptic dreams of a coming disaster. 
The dreams I began to have in 2008 can be loosely described as eschatological; world-wide disasters, comets causing tsunamis, epic floods, earthquakes, plane crashes, (and) end of the world scenarios. […] I remembered the “nightmares” the next day and those dream-memories would trigger acute anxiety, which I experience daily even now many years later. Sometimes the anxiety becomes so intense that I flashback – remembering the dream surfaces other real memories and I suddenly “zone out” for a short time. It is sometimes so intense that other people present have asked if I am OK, which I am after the extremely unpleasant episodes are over. If not for the anxiety, perhaps the dreams themselves would not bother me so much. They’re just dreams.
​Imagining himself a prophet is certainly one way to interpret these experiences, but it strikes me as the least likely. But rather than pursue what science and logic would tell us are more likely causes of his anxiety and troubled dreams, he instead cites Jacques Vallée and Eric W. Davis—two ufologists associated with Robert Bigelow and To the Stars, directly or indirectly—to support his claim that a UFO gave him mental superpowers. In 2003, Vallée and Davis published a paper through a Bigelow-funded group claiming that UFOs could provide the key to a new understanding of physics. This paper is popular among ufologists, but (if I may steal from my own analysis of the paper in a private email), the authors make two fundamental errors in their zeal to make a case for imaginary physics. First, they reason backward by assuming that “the phenomenon” is (a) singular and (b) correctly understandable from human perception of it. What we see isn’t necessarily what is actually there. When you watch a cartoon, you might report that the drawings move, but that’s just your perception creating a false reality from still images passing very quickly before your eyes. It doesn’t mean that “animation” is a miraculous phenomenon that brings drawings to life. Similarly, to deduce a “phenomenon” from witness reports is to reason backward and bias the results. 
 
Second, there is no evidence that “the phenomenon” is singular. Lights in the sky might have many causes, and there is no historical evidence that supernatural abductions, cattle mutilations, flying ships, or any other part of the “phenomenon” was associated with lights in the sky before ufologists made it so in the middle twentieth century. To start from that assumption is to work backward from a myth to a justification for it. One might equally well try to reason backward from Greco-Roman reports of appearances of the gods (e.g. Ovid, Metamorphoses 8.611ff. with Acts 14:11-12) to investigate the physics of how Zeus and Hermes walked the earth.
 
Despite these foundational problems with the underlying assumptions in this article by Vallée and Davis, Day wants to give the cover of science to what in other cultures and other times would have been labeled a divine revelation or madness. Day believes that he is being watched at all times and that UFOs will give people the power to “manifest things” out of thin air and to spontaneously heal. These are the kinds of “miracles” associated with prophets and demigods, but Day sees them as science, based on Vallée and Davis: “Basically, microtubules in our brains get vibrated by tremendously high frequency (THz) or terahertz radiation. We are affected at the quantum level, (and) therefore this is a technology and scale problem.” The right vibrations—a favorite term of the spiritualists—give people magical powers.
 
According to Punk Rock and UFOs, Day is in talks with To the Stars to work with the organization on the UFO phenomenon. Day says that he cannot comment while negotiations are ongoing.
 
I will await, likely in vain, proof that Day’s visions have any reality outside of his own mind, or that flying saucers give ordinary people the powers of Apollonius of Tyana.

That quote from Day sounds a lot like some of the letters John Keel was writing in the run up to writing The Mothman Prophesies. Fantasy prone and paranoid, sure that a disaster was going to happen.

Writers often mask the truth through fictional devices. Historically, observations and critiques of social, religious, and political life has been couched in satire, and fictional characterizations have been used to attack real people.

Spy novelists and thriller writers like John La le Carré and Ken Follett often use their own intelligence backgrounds or contacts to add credibility to their tales and often to expose some reality under the guise of fiction.

Science fiction/speculative fiction writers like Asimov or Clarke did NOT disguise reality to expose the truth but rather explored and postulated on the WHAT IFs using real science and imaginative science to tell a fiction.

Aristophenes and Horace used their plays and poetry to expose and ridicule. Writers like Kevin Day exposes nothing but himself, and is just plain ridiculous,

So this Day guy decided one day he read a report of a UFO that it was visionary, had dreams about disconnected end of days stuff, and then imagined he too encountered the UFO.

Many of these cases seem to stem from hearsay and scary fantasy movies, and the idea that someone an over imaginative writer or film maker has some precognition after meeting someone who experienced some strange sighting.

Also if it's psychic, how come he didn't see it coming?

Is it like The X Files, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you?

How does someone else's experience seeing a UFO make an entirely other person believe they too had some kind of vision?

The fact that it looked like a giant tic tac (or pill) doesn't seem to cross their minds. Were the aliens delivering him his anxiety meds?

The Shaver mystery made more sense. They saw an old TV show and 'dreamed about aliens' and thought it a UFO encounter.

This is more like, some Navy guys saw a floating pill in the sky, which to them was likely a seasick pill and then someone else randomly equated it to his happy pills. Hence the end of days nightmares. He forgot to take his meds.

Well, that's a speculation, but so is a tic tac ship. Doesn't sound too scary. Maybe they should have said it was 'a mothership' with 'giant guns' which sounds more menacing.

Jason,

I am so glad that Kevin Day has dawned on you because he is, first and foremost, a clear “missing link” between the “nuts and bolts” ET Hypothesis as initially espoused by TTSA in the NYT article and the deeper darker “in the closet” ID (Inter-Dimensional) Hypothesis (soon to be replete with Cthulhuan Demonology as per Peter Levenda) as expressed by the occult/demonic/poltergeist research at the Skinwalker Ranch.

[ASIDE: Pardon my grandfatherly indulgence here, Jason, but since my grandson was born on the exact same day as your son, I wish to get avuncular and declare that Poltergeists make good pets and I think you ought to adopt one for the play fun of your toddler son who is at just the right age to appreciate and enjoy those “things that go bump in the night.”

Did you know the new motto of TTSA about them?

POLTERGEISTS — NOT JUST A KNOCK-KNOCK JOKE ANYMORE!]

But now back to serious government business about Kevin Day.
He burst upon the TTSA scene about 4 months ago and it is critically important for you to know that Kevin Day is slated to be called as a star witness for an upcoming hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee as they investigate the so-called Nimitz UAP incident of 2004.

I copy for you below the Facebook entry that Kevin Day made last June (though he deleted it the next day (no pun intended) ).

(It has been verified that Kirk McConnell is indeed a bona fide staff member of the SASC and not a troll.)

McConnell, Kirk (Armed Services) <___@___.gov>
To: ___@__.com (Kevin Day)
Jun e 25, 2018 at 6:08 AM

Kevin: My name is Kirk McConnell. I work on the staff of the Senate Armed Services Committee. We have been researching the 2004 Nimitz incidents, and have met with two of the F-18 pilots multiple times. We heard about you last week. It would be great if you could meet with our staff to tell your story. Are you anywhere close to DC or do you have any reason to travel to DC on other business?

We don’t have a subscription to Coast-to-Coast – can you send me a transcript or the video of the interview? Have you otherwise published a full account of what happened from your vantage point in ’04?

Best, Kirk
===============

The week before the above email, Kevin Day also made this remark on his Facebook page:

==========
KEVIN DAY: “The logistics haven't been hammered out.. but I will be going to San Fran in a few weeks for an interview with a documentary producer ... I'm now on a team with Sen. Harry Reid, Luis Elizondo, Dr. Hal Puthoff, Dr. Jaques Vallee, Eric Davis, and others.. later this summer, it is hoped, I will likely be traveling to DC to testify before the U.S. Senate with the same folks.. I can't even believe this is all happening.. wish me luck.. I so desperately want to do the right thing and pray to God I have the right stuff to do it.."

All sorts of things happen to folks like Kevin Day, and I am not at all surprised by his story.

Whatever Kev went through, and however Kev has responded to his experience will never be a surprise to me, ‘cause his brain was doing its job: Interpreting shit the best it could.

I met Whitley Strieber, onto one of the commenters. He was way out there, even in the 1990s, but also in the same decade, there was college life, which also was way out there.

I have not met Wolter, although apparently he was practically in plain sight in the foothills out here looking at rock walls.

The government likes to spend money on ridiculous stuff like space screwdrivers for upside down special submarines underwater. It's not surprising they would spend some more on a spurious UFO story.

The acorn like craft they found in the 1960s (Kecksberg, was it) was a "Ruskie bird", not a weather balloon. I bet it took them years to figure out the cryllic on it wasn't alien.

To Jason, and his loyal followers, I have not and will never utter prophetic statements. I have told my story about what happened, explained how it affected me personally afterwards, and I am now asking questions and expressing my concerns about what I've been through over the last 14 years. You suggest that asking questions is prophecy? Maybe asking questions is considered prophecy in your own little debunker world, but not in mine. I'm not even religious.

My world as a sailor relied on observation, asking hard questions, and making quick decisions about who dies and who gets to live that day. In case you didn't know, I'm a highly experienced former Navy radar specialist and TOPGUN air intercept controller who was a witness to an anomalous, and still unexplained encounter with something in our skies. I'm concerned. And only fools aren't, in my view.

I was speaking of your eschatological dreams and claims that UFOs create "advanced cognition." What you saw in the sky is not, strictly speaking, relevant to the claims under discussion here. I did not attempt to debunk you sighting; you saw something, but it is not for me to say what. It is up to the person claiming alien spacecraft to demonstrate its otherworldly origin. To see is not to believe because what we see is only as good as our perception, biases, and beliefs.

How does that not influence your brain’s natural ability to guide you to a story about what you saw?

Hm, the encounter was in 2004, and you started having dreams in 2008....the same year as a massive recession hit the country and literally millions of people started having similar apocalyptic nightmares, without ever having seen any flying tic tacs.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with it wasn't the TIC-TAC you were really worried about, ultimately.

Note that I don't deny that you and the rest of the Nimitz crew had some kind of encounter that left you all feeling tense and spooked--but that doesn't make it an actual alien/UFO encounter. Just weird. I've had encounters of that type myself, even when I KNEW for dead certain that it couldn't be what my mind was screaming it was, and yeah, they're stressful. I'm also, by the way, highly trained as an observer, having been raised by a former NSA agent and survivalist. I'm more concerned that you have decided that your interpretation of events is the only possible one in the absence of SIGNIFICANTLY more verifiable facts than I am that something MAY have fallen out of the sky into the ocean.

I am also more concerned with your eschatological dreams, if they are indeed ongoing, as they are not generally a symptom of "advanced cognition" nearly so much as ERRORS in cognition, as long recognized by the science of psychology. Please seek a good counselor to help you with what appears to be extreme anxiety of some kind.

Kevin,

Thanks very much for your response. This can be a testy crew here on Colavito's blog. Like many others, I have been closely following the Tic Tac story since it "broke" in Dec, 2017. My curiosity was aroused because about 10 years ago I had my own experience with something that sounds very similar. I am a scientist and trained observer and I cannot explain away what I observed - though I have tried long and hard. The main reason for my effort to find an explanation is that it has affected me, though not like what you have reported. However, based on my own experience, I can't simply dismiss your report out of hand. Just wanted you to know that because as you know, there are a lot of doubting Thomas types out there!


Was the object I observed of alien manufacture? I don't know, but it wasn't an everyday occurrence and it absolutely but it blew me away.

Anyway, thank you for your service, for coming forward, and in advance for your upcoming testimony. I sincerely hope it goes well, but I have my doubts. Good luck!

Interesting as this essay started, the first paragraph is already littered with historical errors. Yes, Blavatsky was quite enamored by Bulwer-Lytton and therefore also by his proto science fiction novel 'The Coming Race' (1871) where he writes about 'vril'. After all, she mentions his vril force in her 'The Secret Doctrine'(1888).

It is not so, as Colavito writes, that "Many Theosophists were taken with Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s concept of vril,... so Blavatsky justified the use of vril in her own occult worldview..." A silly thing to propose and it demonstrates a painful ignorance of the lineage of ideas of these early esoteric movements and persons.

Blavatsky founded theosophy in 1875, a mere 4 years after 'The Coming Race' was published and she was Bulwer-Lytton's fan, so she did not act upon the fancies of others, as Colavito suggests.

Colavito needs to consult the works of academics as James Webb and Joscelyn Godwin to understand the infusion of Bulwer-Lytton's imagination into early theosophy, where it occurred and how it spread.

Failing to do so will diminish any trustworthiness when it comes to historical accuracy.

Dan, old chap - the way you manage to inject certain curse words into what you are actually trying to say is interesting. I sincerely hope this outburst of bad manners and cross idiom is not an engrained character trait of yourself.

However, let me explain my previous post very slowly to you so you understand.

When you have mustered enough courage to go and study James Webb 'Occult Underground', and Joscelyn Godwin 'Theosophical Enlightenment', two excellent studies by academics, you will learn that Blavatsky was a fan of Bulwer-Lytton's works, so she did not mention him in her books because she saw that others in her movement liked his writings. Instead she did so because she liked his writings. Capice?

Calling a woman you have never met and who is not here to defend herself anymore 'a whore' because you don't like what she wrote and accomplished, is not, I do hope, the way you generally treat women with which you disagree.

I've seen that happen in the present day with Oscar Ichazo's attempt at a bastardized simulacrum of Tibetan Buddhism. NO THAT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A BUDDHUIST TO POST HIS THOUGHTS!

Hi Dan,

Nobody nowadays knows what Blavatsky was thinking I suppose, certainly not I. I do not tow the partyline though that she was a swindler, if that is what you are hinting at. That does not mean I put any belief in what she wrote, it means that where perhaps you or others see in everything she did a preconceived plot, scheme or plan to constantly fool everyone- just see how conspirational that sounds, I go for a more simple solution: she wanted to believe.

So since we are throwing 'what ifs' around, why not this scenario: she genuinely believed in what she was writing, or in between the Mahatma letters comically fluttering from ceilings and all kinds of other spooky theatrics and theosophical make-believe, she strongly believed in something, and that something was the main attraction for many of her followers.

So, if I understand Theo Pajamas correctly, because Blavatsky believed SOMETHING, the fraud and fakery is okay.

Apology accepted. Now learn to correctly spell my last name.

I have learned to give sentences that begin with 'So, if I understand correctly...' a wide berth, because what usually follows is not a correct rendering of what a person meant or said at all, but rather just another way to blindly push forward ones own thought patterns.

No, I do not and did not state that believing in something justifies any fraud or fakery. I proposed the scenario that, instead of her conscious faking everything all of the time as some implied and which actually borders on conspiracy theory, she herself might actually have believed in some of the things she wrote or said.

For me, as with any claim of "extra-terrestrial", I simply remind
myself of the definition of U.F.O. - Unidentified Flying Object.

Could be anything, could be nothing, could be really good hallucinogenic drugs, could be schizophrenia, could just be a damn lie.

I don't necessarily disbelieve claim's, I just need hard damn evidence when the "witness" begins to describe it as some type of craft with sentient life from another "planet".

So far - zip, nada and nonsense, but there sure are lot's of folks trying to make a buck on it.

I particularly enjoy the "abduction" stories replete with medical experimentation. Ever caught the accent's on some of those
story tellers? straight outa the Ivy League I'll tell ya!
