Hello Reddit UFOs.

This info graphic is intended to help visualize the geometry and sequence of events surrounding the USS Nimitz incident on 14 November 2004. It represents my personal interpretation of the incident based on years of reviewing publicly available witness testimony, official report, podcast, interviews, documentaries, and other media related to the event.

I have made every effort to position assets and paths using distances in relative locations that I believe are reasonably consistent with the available information. While the map itself is intended to be geographically, accurate, and scale, many of the icons, symbols, and graphics have been intentionally enlarged in order to improve readability and clearly communicate the events depicted.

This illustration should be viewed as an educational visualization rather than an authoritative reconstruction. Other interpretations of the available evidence are certainly possible, and some witness accounts contain uncertainties or conflicting details. The purpose of this graphic is simply to provide a clear visual reference for understanding, one plausible reconstruction of the event.
