A top physicist has claimed the Nimitz UFO was able to reach never-before-seen speeds thanks to a “metamaterial” that let it “time travel”.

The sighting of the “Tic Tac” craft off the coast of San Diego in 2004 has become one of the most famous UFO encounters of all time.

One of the most startling descriptions given by the fighter pilot witnesses was that it somehow dropped from 80,000ft to around 28,000ft in several seconds and 28,000ft to just above sea level in under a second.

Such a feat to reach sea level would mean the craft would have had to be travelling at 19,000mph – speeds unimaginable for Earthly craft.

But Dr Jack Sarfatti, a world-renowned expert in quantum physics and author of several books in the field, believes he knows what happened.

Speaking on The Hidden Truth Show with James Breslo, he suggested the craft used a type of meta-material that allowed the speed of light to “slow down”.

“See the problem is this, if you read any of the standard papers in the field, if they’re talking about warp drive, time travel and wormholes they say the problem is it ‘takes too much energy’ to achieve it,” he explained on the YouTube podcast.

“The tic-tac does not need a lot of energy. They observed the tic-tac going from 80,000ft down to 50ft in less than two seconds and there’s no jet engines, no flares.

“It’s going at 1,000s of Gs, how’s it doing that? There is no way it can do that by conventional propulsion.”

Meta-material that the fuselage of the Nimitz UFO is built on helps explain this unimaginable speed.

“What happens is that if you pump electromagnetic energy into the material, it will have a certain resonance.

“In that resonance, the speed of light inside the material can go down to a very small number.”

This, according to Dr Sarfatti, will allow for the type of “warp drive” technology made famous in sci-fi blockbusters like Star Trek.

As the physicist notes, the meta-material industry is hugely lucrative and has already been used for sensors and lenses.

But, while many firms are using forms of the technology already, the one seen on the Nimitz UFO does not belong to the US Navy.

Instead, Dr Sarfatti suggests the craft actually came back from the future.

This, he claims, is made possible by using the Novikov loop. Dr Sarfatti explained to this site that: “A causal loop is a paradox of time travel that occurs when a future event is the cause of a past event, which in turn is the cause of the future event.

“Both events then exist in spacetime, but their origin cannot be determined.”

The metamaterial fuselage means the craft doesn’t just move through space but “controls it”, Dr Sarfatti added.

The low-energy “warp drive” seen in the Tic Tac allows it to “squeeze the space in front of it and stretch the space behind”.

The 80-year-old is so confident in his theory that he is hoping to present it to US President Donald Trump.

During the interview, he claimed “talks are ongoing” over a meeting.
