An A-4E Skyhawk strike aircraft carrying a nuclear weapon rolled off an elevator on the U.S. aircraft carrier Ticonderoga and fell into the sea. Because the bomb was lost at a depth of approximately 16,000 feet, Pentagon officials feared that intense water pressure could have caused the B-43 hydrogen bomb to explode. It is still unknown whether an explosion did occur. The pilot, aircraft, and weapon were lost. The Pentagon claimed that the bomb was lost "500 miles away from land." However, it was later revealed that the aircraft and nuclear weapon sank only miles from the Japanese island chain of Ryukyu. Several factors contributed to the Pentagon's secretiveness. The USS Ticonderoga was returning from a mission off North Vietnam; confirming that the carrier had nuclear weapons aboard would document their introduction into the Vietnam War. Furthermore, Japan's anti-nuclear law prohibited the introduction of atomic weapons into its territory, and U.S. military bases in Japan are not exempt from this law. Thus, confirming that the USS Ticonderoga carried nuclear weapons would signify U.S. violation of its military agreements with Japan. The carrier was headed to Yokosuka, Japan, and disclosure of the accident in the mid-1980s caused a strain in U.S.-Japanese relations. We are left guessing about this incident, yet the question arises, “Why was that plane loaded with an armed nuclear weapon and ready for flight? Something to ponder is how effective the extraterrestrials are in their ability to intervene and only those with close inside knowledge would be aware that it was ET that prevented a nuclear ‘Trigger’ from being pulled a that day. The extraterrestrials technical knowledge is so advanced that the moment the decision was made to ‘arm’ the A4E Skyhawk with a nuclear a + 4 4 4 4 14 weapon they already had a plan suited to prevent a nuclear war and also to modify the behavior of those involved. How big of a wave did it take to tip an aircraft carrier enough to send that plane and pilot and weapon into the 63 December 5, 1965, Aboard the USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14) in the Pacific Ocean
