Show Notes
Former F-16 instructor Chris Lehto sits down with Anastasia Bendebury and Michael Shilo DeLay of DemystifySci to work through the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac: how something could move like that with no sonic boom, no heat, and no inertia. They go through the Navy FLIR1 video, the five observables, hologram claims, gravity, light, and the physics in their book Paradox Lost.

More from Lehto Files
Five years and around 130 interviews into Lehto Files, former F-16 pilot Chris Lehto shares the five biggest things he has learned. It starts with the first question he set out to answer, whether UAPs are a real physical phenomenon, and why the answer came down to the people he talked to.
Why are UFOs so hard to see with our sensors? Jacques Vallée called the phenomenon a control system. Chris Lehto comes at the same question from biology, pulling in evolutionary biology, biosemiotics and Donald Hoffman, and makes the case that the phenomenon may be the visible leakage of a higher-level control system.
Everyone asks where UFOs come from. Another planet? Another dimension? After 70 years, the people with the most access still can't answer it. Former F-16 instructor Chris Lehto suggests a different question: not where they are from, but what scale they operate at. It is a hypothesis built on the framework from his book Our Fractal Universe, and he is clear about where the evidence stops and the extrapolation begins.
