For as much as they claim otherwise, these are just anecdotes and stories and rumors with no evidence or proof. One common thread on shows like this is to put forth people who claim authority but haven't been indepedently investigated and then tell the story out of context, but with their self appointed authority. Like the ex-sailor who claimed he was a 'computer technician' and he was responsible for all the 'mainframes' on the ship (his words), which, if you knew anything about mainframes and computer history, it's a gibberish claim. No idea what he's talking about because in the real world, there were no mainframes installed on ships and for the time period he was talking about, it's difficult to understand why anyone would even have one on a ship in that year. And then there is the ex-pilot fravor and his unidentified wingman in the episode. They don't even describe the whole context of the situation but if you google it, the incident allegedly took place in 2004 just before PBS (yes, public broadcasting company) did a documentary series called 'carrier' that profiled fravor and his wingman who was actually a wing woman, one of the first female navy aviators. The episode leaves out all of that and you have to wonder if pbs knew of the incident would they have gone ahead with the series. And why didn't they mention this, and why is the whole situation resurrected again years later and why didn't they have clear pictures because even in 2004 the technology existed to capture images. We can detect a missile in the air flying from thousands of miles away, surely we can take pictures that don't look like they came from a polaroid. And particularly funny was the way they showed these lights on an implied ship monitor showing these horizontal lights in brackets, without any explanation and behind narration of something completely different so the view has no idea what they're looking at but only that they look ufoey. But they're not a ufo at all. It's the lights of a plane landing on a carrier ship. The screen is designed to monitor the plane flight path so the plane is properly aligned to land and give feedback to the pilot. There's nothing ufoey about it at all.
