The Department of Defense has confirmed it possesses top-secret files relating to an incident between the USS Nimitz carrier and a possible UFO, which could endanger national security.

Navy paralegal specialist Camille V’Estres, however, said the records would “cause exceptionally grave damage to the National Security of the United States” if released to the public.
