The Encounter

Omar Lara is a Navy veteran who served on the USS Nimitz. In December 2004, while returning from the Middle East, he witnessed a UFO during a man overboard incident. As the crew searched for the sailor, an oval object appeared in the sky. It hovered silently and had no visible means of propulsion. Omar and 30 other crew members were stunned by the sighting. The object moved at incredible speeds, prompting the ship's crew to go on high alert. This encounter changed Omar's perspective on UFOs, as he had not been a believer before. He now feels a desire to share his experience and believes it is important for the public to know about such sightings.
