...a naval four-star by the name of Mildred Parker flipped off the lights and pressed <PLAY> on a "newsreel" of surprisingly crystal clear footage of UFOs collected over the years by tailhook pilots.

The footage which sparked their project in the first place.

Video images of flying saucers over the Pacific Ocean, seemingly defying all the "laws of physics" by darting about, levitating, and even "flying" directly into the ocean, seeming to "disappear" underwater. 

Their breakthrough, she tells me, came in 1987, when dual satellites captured the simultaneous image of one of these UFOs disappearing into the ocean, before reemerging, a second later, from the mouth of an active volcano on the opposite side of the planet.

"Why are you telling me all this?" I asked, scratching my head.

"Because all of this information should prove useful to you in the future. A future which would make no sense to you now. That's why."
