The incident, which took place over Vandenberg Air Force Base in California back in 2003, was first detailed earlier this year during a congressional hearing.
The object was described as an enormous red glowing square the size of a football field.
Speaking to the Merged podcast this week, Nuccetelli recounted his own memories of that day.
“I’m getting ready to jump in the car, and then all hell breaks loose,” he recalled. “And they start screaming over the radio, ‘It’s coming right at us. It’s coming right for us. Now it’s right here.'”
“It was hard to hear, because they were screaming and they were scared.”
The object was witnessed by at least 6 USAF police patrol officers.
“These guys are trained observers,” said Nuccetelli. “They’re posted out there, you know, 24/7. They know what aircraft look like. They know what fishing boats look like.”
“I didn’t feel like they were just jumping the gun, because there had been a UFO.”
After arriving at the site, Nuccetelli conducted interviews of those who had seen the object.
“I talk to everybody,” he said. “Basically what they described was this object came in, was moving strangely, erratically. It got bigger and brighter as it came in.”
“Then it came at a high rate of speed and flew right up to the entry control point, and stopped. And they all stared at it. And it just shot off.”

My favorite Air Force observer is Mercury 7 astronaut, also Gemini program, Gordon Cooper. Saw and detailed UFOs while stationed in Germany in 1951, and then another in which they took film in 1957 while in Test Pilot program at Edwards AFB, California. This one actually landed on the dry lake bed with 3 extention landing legs. He and other personnel filmed it and watched as they moved towards it and the craft lifted back up and gone, no sound. They immediately developed the film and called the secret guys that came and got the film which was never seen again, of course.
