"Sightings: UFOs" Transcript
Op1: "You can try to engage but--
Op2: You'll rock 'em and we'll roll 'em."
Op1: "I'm going to say it's an unknown airplane."
Op1: "T-1 over ...There's an aircraft coming inbound..." [leaves out bearing data]
Op1: "Ahh, we don't know what type."
Op2: Whatever it is, you'll get it.
Con: [Gives bearing of UFO]
Op2: "That's strange."
Op1: "Weird, man!"
T1: "Trying to pick up that traffic."
Op2: Let's try it.
Op1: "We acquired this unknown object. Aircraft of some type." [leaves out bearing data]
Op1: "We're going to put a launch up on it anyway and see what happens."
Op1: "It seems to be hovering there."
Op1: "It appears to be going outbound real slow. There's hardly any range velocity."
Op1: "I don't know if this would impact or not."
Op1: "We have impact." [leaves out bearing data]
Op1: "We'll call this a kill on this unknown aircraft."
Op1: "T1 control doesn't know what type aircraft this is either..."
Op2: "That's weird."
Op1: "Strange."
Op2: "It's outbound?"
Op1: "Yeah, outbound. It's moving fast."
Comments
Start video
"CP" probably main complex "CP Master." "T-1" may be C30 T1A communication station.
The "5-4" often called out may be ID of Site 54, another main communications station.
.
May be talking about simulated attack missile launch done later in video.
Object actually moving sideways to S-13 station, "inbound" being an illusion of range indicator.
Want T1 control to confirm and ID object.
Wait S-13 while I look into this.
Maybe Nellis Range Site 54.
Internal comment. Apparently controllers were calling around to see if other stations were picking up same aircraft activity.
Maybe Operations knows what this object is.
Bearing from different station? MSL = Altitude above Mean Sea Level.
????
Probably bearing data from another station.
????
Like in the S-30 video, experienced range operators are perplexed by what it is.
Being radioed by somebody??
Apparently wants official confirmation on object. (Said in background--almost inaudible.)
What's happening with the activity check? (Said in background--barely audible.)
Indicated range just reached minimum and now increasing.
Computed UFO altitude is ~11,000 feet above ground level, not sea level--maybe different aircraft. "5461" maybe ID of "Chuck TV" site 8 mi. W of S-30.
Maybe commenting that central control knew nothing and were radioing other stations, who also had nothing.
Calling station S-13.
Central control has nothing on object and nobody else does either, apparently.
We followed procedure and still came up with nothing.
Possibly data on another aircraft on Range, not the UFO.
Operator starts summarizing situation.
According to Sightings, this was a simulated, not real, launch on object and common practice.
Again possibly data on another aircraft.
Actually moving sideways to
S-13 at 80-100 mph.
Moving sideways to radar, thus little radial or range velocity.
Outward velocity only ~20 mph.
Simulated kill.
Object lacks standard military aircraft electronic signatures such as electronic counter- measures and tactical.
Camera switched to manual mode.
Object jumps around in image, perhaps because of switch to manual tracking. Op2 seems to be handling camera tracking.
Op2 attempting to recenter object in camera.
Analyzed bearing data does not show big jump in speed, contrary to Op1's impression.
?????
Camera starts spinning around looking for new target.
Camera/radar swing 360 degrees. Reacquire radar return from original target.

My Transcript
Con: "...3-4-4, but ...ahhh ...run" (?)
T1: "Stand by CP."
Con1: "5-4-7-4-1, 5-4-7-4-1"
Op2: "You can try and engage
them -- you know we'll rock and
we'll roll 'em."
Op1: "I'm going to say it's an
unknown airplane."
Op2: "T-1, T-1-- See if there's an aircraft, 357, to 10K, coming
inbound, about 18 degrees
elevation.
Op2: "Ahh, we don't know what
type it is."
Op2: "And also please give it a
nametag."
T1: "Stand by 1-3."
Con1: "Target 5-4"
Op1: "They're running an activity check."
T1: "Want to check Operations."
[simultaneous talking]
Con1: 1-8-5 (?)-4-6, 1-0-1 ...10,000 MSL."
T1: "6-4-5-6, 6-4-5-6"
Con1: "Confirmative Val."
Con: "Copy L-A. 90 (?) degrees, 4K"
Con: "Copy"
T1: "Copy"
Con1: "69-5-4-9 or ... 69-5-4-9-5-1,
5-1 added, 5-1"
Op2: "Strange... weird, man."
Op2: (Softly) "We're being tubed." (?)
Con1: "5-4-4-3-3, 5-4-4-3-3
...7000 ??? MSL."
Op2?: "Copy and confirm." (?)
Op2?: "Traffic alarm status?" (?)
Op2?: "Going back out." [barely audible]
Con1: "Target 5-4-6 ...1-3,
5-4-6-1-3... 11,000 MSL."
Op1: "All they are going to give it is
a drag around the Ham."
Op2: They're going to try to give it
another copy." (?) (barely audible)
T1: "K-O 1-3"
Op2: "Hello?"
T1: "We're not picking up that
track."
Op2: "K-O 1-3 copy ...you all (?)."
Op2: "We tried."
Con1: Target 5 point 10... 5-10 ???
...target 5-10, 12 MSL." (?) [simulultaneous talking]
Op1: "We acquired this unknown
object, aircraft of some type, 18
degrees, 18.6 degrees elevation,
10.8 kilometers range."
Op1: "We're going to put a
launch up on it anyway and see
what happens."
Con1: "5-4-6-4-2, 5-4-6-4-2,
...10,000 MSL" (?) [simultaneous
talking with Op1]
Op1: "It seems to be hovering
there."
Op1: "Launch up. 21.3 degrees,
18.5 degrees elevation, 10.9 K."
Op1: "Uhh, it appears to be going
outbound real slow. There's
hardly any range velocity."
Con1: "5-4-6... -6-6 (?), 5-4-6-6-6 (?) 11,000 MSL." [simultaneous talking]
Op1: "I don't know if this would
be an impact or not."
Op1: "We have impact -- 024,
18.3 degrees elevation, 11K."
Op1: "And we'll call this a kill on
this unknown aircraft."
Op1: "T1 control doesn't know
what type aircraft it is either..."
Op1: "And no ECM, no tactic."
Op2?: "That's weird. ...Not up
(??) ...Strange."
Op2: "Moving outbound?"
Op1: "Yeah, it's outbound. It's
moving fast! Think you can stop
it?"
Con1: "Target 5-4-4-3-4, 5-4-4-3-4.
10,000 feet(?) MSL."
Op2?: "Not moving that... fast." [simultaneous talking with controller]
Op2?: "Start moving ?????" [simul.
talking with controller.]
Op2: "Even when it was coming inbound it wasn't going that fast."
Op1: "Oh well, let's go find C-4 (?)
... I want that one."
