In August 1980, U.S. Navy aviation crewman Tony Woody experienced an extraordinary UFO encounter during an overnight stop at Lajes Air Base in the Azores while en route to Sicily. In this firsthand interview with Podcast UFO host Martin Willis, Woody recalls how he and fellow serviceman Tommy witnessed a mysterious orange-yellow light over the Atlantic Ocean that suddenly accelerated across the sky at incredible speed without making a sound. Moments later, the object returned and hovered directly above them, revealing a massive, dome-shaped disc approximately 150 feet wide, with unusual shifting colors across its surface. The following morning, Woody says unidentified government officials questioned both men separately and ordered them to deny the encounter and remain silent for 30 years, citing national security. Woody discusses his extensive Navy aviation experience, the extraordinary capabilities of the craft, and why he believes what he witnessed was technology far beyond anything known at the time. Was it an advanced classified aircraft or something not of this world? Hear his remarkable account and decide for yourself.
