Lieutenant-commander Alex Dietrich is, by her own admission, a highly rational person. A U.S. Navy fighter pilot who served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, she now teaches at the U.S. Naval Academy. She has also had one of the most famous close encounters with a UFO.
On Nov. 14, 2004, Lt.-Cdr. Dietrich was stationed off the coast of southern California on the USS Nimitz carrier, when numerous unidentified flying objects were picked up by ship radar, having dropped a distance of 80,000 feet in less than a second.
