The episode where a former Sailor was supposedly hiding to avoid being questioned about a USO/UFO he observed, when his aircraft carrier made the crew go to darken ship, lacked credibility. The narrator explained that the aircraft carrier went to darken ship without telling the crew if it were a drill or not. A nyone who has served in the Navy, with half a brain, can tell you that Navy ships go to "darken ship" everhy single evening when underway (at sea). he ship makes sure all exterior lights are out however the ship keeps Mast lights (white), Stern Light (white) and Port (red) and Starboard (green) running lights on in accordance with international and inland rules of the road. The former Sailor "may" have seen something but the darken ship condition does not have anything to do with it. It occurs from sunset to sunrise. Also, it's not uncommon to be outside the skin of the ship during those hours. Everyship that is at sea has a port, starboard and after lookout on watch. These 3 personnel are junior personnel and the bridge watchstanders can number from 4 to 7 more personnel.
