'There was no denying it': Retired fighter pilot and mother-of-three who saw Tic-Tac UFOs in 2004 says Navy crew kept quiet due to fears of being labeled 'kooky'
Alex Dietrich, 41, was on patrol near San Diego in 2004 when she saw a Tic Tac-shaped UFO appear flying at pace and erratically
When her Navy commander went into for a closer look, the object began mimicking its movements and then disappeared
The mother of three and former Lt. Cmdr. says she feels a 'duty and obligation' to speak out about what she saw
She says other pilots were fearful of speaking about UFOs as they would be dismissed for being 'kooky'
