Twenty years ago this October, military contractors working for Boeing reported a huge, floating red square-shaped UFO — more than 100 yards long — hovering in the morning air above the launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The bizarre 2003 event first exploded into public view last July, in sworn testimony before Congress, but now a former US Air Force security officer has come forward to detail his cursory official investigation into the UFO on the day it happened.
“This is not a joke,” Jeff Noccitelli, a former senior officer in the US Air Force, told the Integrated podcast on Tuesday. “These are contractors with top-secret clearances.”
Nuccetelli also revealed a second reported encounter with “Red Square,” in which two fellow USAF police patrol officers were “struck by the UFO.”
“When I showed up, it was just chaos,” Noccitelli recalls. Everyone is excited. They are afraid. Everyone is terrified.
Former US Air Force security officer Jeff Noccitelli has come forward to detail his official, quick-response investigation into the 100-yard-long “red square” UFO as it occurred in October 2003. Noccitelli said the UFO had more than six witnesses. “At least 80 people” at the base knew this
The second unprecedented sighting of the giant “red square” UFO took place atop Vandenberg Air Force Base’s Space Launch Complex 4 (SLC-4), which was leased today by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Above, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches from Vandenberg with a satellite payload in 2018
As he recalls, Nuccetelli interviewed “about half a dozen people” and was then sent to guard SLC-4, with his superior officer, or flight commander, at his side: “Basically, what they described was that this object came in, and it was moving strangely and uncontrollably.” “Regular. It got bigger and brighter when it came.”
“I’m getting ready to jump in the car, and then all hell breaks loose and they start screaming over the radio, ‘It’s coming right at us.’ It’s coming right for us. Now it’s here,” Noscitelli told Merged host, retired US Navy fighter pilot Lt. Ryan Graves.
“It was hard to hear, because they were screaming and they were scared,” the former U.S. Air Force patrol officer said.
This second, unprecedented sighting, which Nuccetelli said he recorded in police paper with copies of which he had in his possession, occurred atop Vandenberg Air Force Base’s Space Launch Complex 4, which today is leased by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
The veteran Air Force security official told this podcast that he had great confidence in six of his fellow US Air Force police who witnessed the giant red UFO’s flight.
“These people are trained observers,” Nochitelli assured Lt. Graves, the founder of the new nonprofit, Americans for Safe Aerospacewhich is dedicated to resolving aviation safety concerns around such “Unidentified Air Phenomena” (UAP).
“They’re deployed there, you know, 24/7,” Nocchitelli continued. “They know what planes look like.” They know what fishing boats look like.
“It didn’t feel like they were rushing into shooting, because there was a UFO.”
Nuccetelli gave Lt. Graves his recollections of driving to the launch site, SLC-4 or “Slick 4”, as follows: Basic police radio broadcasts streamed about the UFO.
“This is all being broadcast over the radio and dispatchers are reaching out to them trying to get more information,” Noccitelli said. ‘It’s just a mess, you know? Dispatchers advise everyone to stay alert to try to get information.
Nuccetelli told his story to retired U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Ryan Graves, host of Merged and founder of the new nonprofit Americans for Safe Aerospace, which is dedicated to resolving aviation safety concerns around such “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP).
Three Boeing contractors signed sworn statements that they saw the UFO, “a large square object, the size of a football field, floating silently above the launch pad, red, glowing,” at low altitude, Nuccetelli said. Above, right, a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from October 29, 2023
“Then things calmed down a little,” the former US Air Force policeman continued. “They said the object flew.”
According to his recollection, Nuccetelli then interviewed “about half a dozen people” and was then sent to guard SLC-4, with his superior officer, or flight chief, at his side.
“I talk to everyone,” he recalls. “Basically, what they described was that this object came in, and it was moving strangely and erratically. It got bigger and brighter as it came out.”
“Then it came at high speed and flew straight up to the entry control point, and stopped. They were all staring at it. It just took off.
Their sighting earlier that day preceded the encounter witnessed by Boeing’s aerospace contractors, which was first revealed to the public by Lt. Ryan Graves in July of this year, during his testimony before a House Oversight Committee hearing on UFOs.
Three Boeing contractors signed sworn statements that they saw the UFO — “basically just a big square object, the size of a football field, floating silently above the launch pad, red, glowing” — at low altitude, Noscitelli said.
In this first sighting, “which began on October 14, 2003 at 8:45 a.m.,” said the former U.S. Air Force patrolman, “Red Square” hovered over Vandenberg’s 21st Launch Facility: “At that time, it was a repurposed missile site.” Minuteman” for use in a missile launch. New missile defense system.
“As far as I know, it was not a cube. It was more like a flat square,” Nuucitelli recalls.
‘The call came from domain control. “Contractors say there is a huge floating red square above the launch facility,” they said.
“Later, they brought in the technical sergeant from range control, Nocchitili.” He told the embedded listeners“Who received a complaint from the contractor stating the presence of this foreign object.”
They brought that person in and asked him to write a written statement for us, and I have his written statement. I also have a dryer input.
All told, Neositeli believes there are at least 80 people who know this happened, you know, plus contractors and other cops who actually saw it with their own eyes. He is actively tracking them down for new interviews.
The former US Air Force senior police officer, who went to work in a management role for the US Marshals after 16 years in the Air Force, also turned over what he knew to the Pentagon’s comprehensive anomaly resolution office (AARO).
Despite the controversy over the reliability of the Pentagon’s UFO office, and a heated public spat between its director, physicist Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, and UFO whistleblower David Grosch, Nocchitelli told Merged that his experience at AARO has been truly positive
“In fact, the investigator who called me spent an enormous amount of time talking to me, definitely more than an hour,” Noccitelli said.
“I felt like they were really interested in the case. Really interested in looking into it.”
He told Lieutenant Greaves that his next steps were to help AARO locate more witnesses to these two sightings on 14 October 2003.
“What I’m trying to do now is track down all the people, because my recollection of who was there, all the details, the details are flawed, right?” the former US Air Force policeman said. Because I wasn’t there when these things happened. It’s all used.
I haven’t talked to these people in 20 years. And then suddenly, I said: “Hey, let’s connect” (…) “Let’s talk about the UFO.”
