ATS credited as the source for a 2007 leak of a UFO/UAP sighting in 2004 by Navy pilots

This sighting to be exact...USS Nimitz ‘Tic Tac’ UFO: Declassified Video

This is a recent video. The YT channel belongs to Johnny Harris, who seems to be an investigative journalist of sorts and seems to be level headed, though not particularly kind to ATS, calling it a "fringe UFO website" and "BS conspiracy UFO stuff". That said, he gives credit where it's due, so to speak. You will find the mention of ATS starting at the 4:19 mark in the video, but I suggest watching the whole thing. It is interesting, and he does a good job at being an open skeptic...

I remember the "Tic Tac UFO Incident", but I didn't see anything from 2007 when searching ATS. Any old timers here have a link to the thread/leak in question.

Back in 2017 when this was all released, I remember a thread referencing the 2007 thread where it was ‘leaked’. There was a link to the original thread in it. There was a multitude of threads on the topic. It’s in there somewhere. Hope that helps.

Seems like a bad move to stigmatize your audience. Dude has 3.5 million subscribers, a professional like that should definitely know better.

This topic appears to be the droid you're looking for

And another one here

And also here

Thanks for posting the links. They will be good background for everything that has led to the latest mention of ATS in a video of this kind.

Very accurate, though ATS fanbois will be triggered.

Well the UFO subject is only considered "fringe conspiracy BS" by those who have been taken in by the multi billion dollar decades long global mind control effort by governments across the planet to make it seem that way-while at the same time said governments have been spending vast amounts working on secret projects to recover alien craft and keep it all hushed up and blamed on swamp gas or other willful disinformation.

Which is by definition a conspiracy,but it ain't no theory.

I just love how he puts the videos that have been proven to be birds in with the ticktak videos. Talk about misleading.

Government supported channel?

I might go for the "BS conspiracy UFO stuff" to some extent, but ATS is hardly a "fringe UFO website". UFO's are not the main topic here, just among them.

Whatever the case, it's nothing to get triggered about.

The story was 'leaked on ATS' although there were two different versions in 2007. The video was hosted on a German Film Student Webiste.

The story of the leak of the video is very odd. Mainly because despite there being 3 alleged 'offiicla' investigations into it, the might of US intelligence were "allegedly" unable to trace the original leaker. Perhaps they don't read ATS (yeh right!).

Even though in 2007 members of ATS had already traced the leakers identity. And not one American intel agent appears to have asked any of them who it was!! That's if you believe any of this story, right up to Uncle Sam saying those tic tac videos are unidentified.

I documented it all in this thread three years ago.

The IDs of the Parties involved in the 2007 Nimitz UFO Video Leak are Known!!!

But for those too lazy to go through all of that. Here is a brief tale of the strange way the leak was made.


Feb 3, 2007 - supposed leaker, thefinaltheory posts this thread declaring that the video shows "The UFO was floating extremely still in mid air, this was 30,000 ft above ground level. It looked literally and i mean LITERALLY just like a disk "

Feb 4, 2007 - leaker now posts a completely new thread Fighter Jet UFO Footage : The Real Deal the UFO is now described as "capsule shaped (wingless, mobile, white, oblong pill shaped, 25-30 feet in length, no visible markings

The leaker also claimed to have various videos and PowerPoint files related to all of this burned on a CD. But took some time to come up with the goods. He even claimed he was going back to the ship (the Nimitz) to look for the CD.

Hey Presto, it turns up it was still there onboard after 3 years! Another ATS member assisted in placing it on a German Film Student website because our leaker (who was apparently an IT technician) could not come up with any other way of doing it himself.

Meanwhile, Pentagon investigations were unable to find the leaker!!!

The story continued into 2019 when the leaker (now thefinaltheoryreturns) turned up again on ATS. Provides personal details to two members to verify he is who he says he is. Without any fear that either or both could be US intelligence agents (or worst still foreign adversaries). But then says "he still fears reprisals" for his actions in a quote to Tim "Debrief" Mcmillan.

Seems to me like the leak was all staged for some reason.

I'd say beware of Uncle Sam when he tells you what you want to hear.

I saw ATS on a screen at Fox News several years ago.

They would never admit it.

Gotta stay up on what the "nutters" are talking about.

Thanks for the overview. TzarChasm also posted links to threads about this.

Funny...that's the feeling I had the whole time.

Anything to do with "government leaks" should be met with skepticism and cynicism, me thinks.

I wouldn't trust any of it as far as I could throw it.

We don't, but if you read the OP, watch the video, and/or read the subsequent comments, you'll understand why I posted this particular one, and not "some random nobody" because they mentioned ATS.

ATS’ content is created by the users themselves. Which means, and more specifically for this case — there are people ‘in the know’ that post here.

Who cares if the dude is a nobody. It is a fact, that this was leaked right here on ATS in 2007. I’d say that’s worth noting.

Very interesting that original thread only received 40 flags. Then subsequently died after 9 days in February 2007. ... To be revived again by Mr. Koi in 2017, when this hit the MSM. It should have been given more attention back in 2007.
