There is new information from witness Jeff Nuccetelli relating to two further incidents – a black square and a ‘landing’.
The Vandenberg UFO incident of 2003, often referred to as the "Red Square" sighting, gained widespread attention following a Congressional hearing on Unidentified Aerial/Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) in 2023. According to witness testimony, a massive red, square-shaped object, estimated to be the size of a football field, was spotted hovering over Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The primary witness to bring this incident to light was former USAF patrolman (police officer) Jeff Nuccetelli, who sought-out and passed documents and further witnesses to Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who testified before Congress on July 26, 2023 (and raised this very case). Graves, the founder of ‘Americans for Safe Aerospace’, stated that a group of Boeing contractors witnessed the object approaching the base from the ocean. It hovered at a low altitude over one of the launch facilities for about 45 seconds before quickly darting off over the mountains. Notably, this wasn't an isolated incident—there were reports of additional sightings later that evening, with witnesses describing aggressive manoeuvres by the objects, including rapid approaches toward base personnel before abruptly retreating.
Graves’ testimony emphasised three key points: the underreporting of UAPs, the powerful stigma around reporting such events, and the excessive classification by the government, which hinders public understanding of these phenomena. He revealed that some of the witnesses to the Vandenberg sighting had preserved documentation from the event, which adds credibility to the reports.
The incident was also notable for its appearance during a larger conversation on UAPs in Congress. Although the hearing did not result in immediate policy changes/disclosure on a larger scale, it underscored the bipartisan concern surrounding national security and the need for transparency regarding UAPs. One of the very few bipartisan subjects that has interest and support from all sides of the political spectrum. This case, with its dramatic description of a flying red square, has since become a focal point in discussions about potential extraterrestrial or advanced technological phenomena/NHI and their implications for both military and civilian aerospace safety, Graves’ focus being safe aerospace. Many of the rest of us simply in knowing more about our place in the universe.
This incident serves as a compelling example of how formerly classified or dismissed sightings are being reconsidered, especially as more military personnel and contractors come forward with their experiences.
On the UAP Files Podcast Tom and I were lucky enough to speak to Jeff Nuccetelli, who was a United States Airforce Patrolman a law enforcement officer for the U.S. Airforce. He was on duty that night in 2003 and gave us as much details as he could remember, who reported his recollection of that event, who saw what and the specifics around the size, shape and trajectory of the infamous “Red Square”. Jeff also talks to us about three cases, the “Red square”, the “Dark Square” and also a ‘Landing’.
Jeff also shares his experience providing testimony and documents to the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Officer (AARO). Interestingly, this case didn’t make it in the the AARO Historical Report Volume 1.
