Tommy woke up feeling frisky so he calls John to talk about a weird text he sent about aliens dumping water on Earth. Of course things went left from there, as the conversation goes from the oldest story on Earth to Ice Ages to video games to meteors full of space turds to Kevin Costner and german rocket scientists to the Gasol brothers. It makes sense when you listen to it.

John and Tommy have a serious conversation with Tommy's older brother, Naval aviator Lt. Commander Dan Drake. Dan was stationed near San Diego during the famous 2004 USS Nimitz UFO sighting, which is the current declassified video release of the "40 Foot long Tic-Tacs." Dan gives us his expert opinion and perspective on these sightings, the avionic feats displayed by the unknown rider and the possibilities of Earth-made air travel. Then he gives us the first public disclosure of two of his very own UFO encounters; getting thumped by a large ball of light off the California coast, and an encounter with a buzzing blue ball in the Indian Ocean during the Second Gulf War. This is an action packed hour plus of real info from a man who knows his stuff. #NavyUFO #tictacufo #USSNIMITZ2004 #40footTicTacs #declassifiedUFO
