## Key Statements
1. On initial detection:
> "For two weeks prior to the Nimitz incident, we were tracking these objects. They were dropping from 80,000 feet to sea level in less than a second."
2. On radar reliability:
> "The Princeton's radar systems were brand new, and they were working perfectly. These weren't false returns."
3. On object behavior:
> "They were moving in ways that should be impossible, making instant 90-degree turns at hypersonic speeds."
