Evidencetestimony, documents

In 1989, according to what the film calls highly credible US government intelligence, the Soviet Union recovered a Tic Tac-shaped craft about twice the size of the one the Nimitz pilots saw, with four humanoid bodies inside. Taking it apart, the story goes, they found an advanced directed-energy weapon. The speaker is likely Eric Davis. It is separate from the Kapustin Yar disc of the same year.
