Clues
  1. 01In November 2004, a U.S. Navy carrier strike group was conducting training operations somewhere in the eastern Pacific — within range of the continental United States, but well offshore, where the open ocean swallows radar anomalies and no one on shore would notice.
  2. 02The strike group was operating off the western coast of North America's second-largest peninsula — a narrow finger of land that juts roughly 1,200 km southward from the U.S.-Mexico border, separating the Pacific Ocean from a long inland sea.
  3. 03The contact zone sat at approximately 30–31° North latitude, placing it level with the upper third of that peninsula — roughly parallel with the desert interior of the American Southwest, about 100 miles west of the coastline.
  4. 04The nearest major landmass to the encounter site is the northern stretch of Baja California, with the Pacific to the west and the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) to the east — the USS Princeton's SPY-1 radar was painting targets in open ocean roughly 100 miles southwest of Ensenada.
