The hosts turn to Lou Elizondo and the famous Nimitz Tic Tac incident involving Commander David Fravor and Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich. Keating poses an interesting question to Ryan: from an operator's perspective, why would fellow aviators tease someone who reported an unusual aerial contact rather than take it seriously as a potential flight hazard? Ryan provides a nuanced military answer — IED sightings were so common in Iraq they were never doubted, but exotic aerial phenomena are rare enough that some heckling is understandable, akin to someone claiming to have seen a ghost. The conversation establishes that military experience doesn't confer special authority on alien claims.
