My Dad’s Military Testimony

Hello all, my dad finally wrote up his own personal ufo testimony and said I could share it on here! If anyone has any questions, let me know and I’ll pass them along to him. Thanks!

It was the summer of 1994 and I was deployed down on the border near Nogales NM.  We were deployed with a radars and high powered video camera to help the DEA interdict drug runners sneaking across the border in aircraft.  Our job was to monitor all aircraft traffic coming into the country from Mexico, log them, take pictures of their tail numbers, and if they made a drop, to record the drop.  Once a drop was made we called the DEA and they would rush in and make an arrest.  The aircraft were pretty easy to lock onto and track with the type of radar we were using.  We would acquire the aircraft as they flew low across the border, then we would simply lock on to their doppler and track them and record them until they flew out of range or made a drop.  One day it was very quiet, no air traffic at all, so I was just scanning the horizon with the camera attached to our radar when I saw an object floating above the desert floor.  It was a perfect silver rectangle and it was perfectly still hoving about 10 feet above the desert floor.  There was absolutely ZERO doppler, so whatever was powered the craft was completely silent.  I hit the record button on the VCR attached to the camera and recorded the entire incident.  The “craft” just sat there for about 45 minutes, then eventually it simply rose quietly into the air and moved out of range of the camera, never making a single sound or producing any doppler at all.  Strangest thing I ever saw.  I called it into the DEA, they showed up later that day and took my VCR tape and I never heard about the incident again.”
