Low-altitude or stationary hover with no detectable propulsion signature, rotor wash, or thermal bloom.
FBI Photo B20: an infrared still of an unidentified craft hovering at under 1,000 ft for 45 minutes. Object defied wind conditions and maintained perfect stationary position with no discernible propulsion.
USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group radar operators tracked an unknown object for two weeks before F/A-18 pilots were tasked to intercept. Commander Fravor observed a white 40-foot oblong object with no wings, propulsion, or exhaust hovering over a roiling sea disturbance before it accelerated away instantaneously. FLIR footage declassified by DoD in 2020.
An F/A-18 Super Hornet ATFLIR pod captured a disc-shaped object visibly rotating against the direction of wind at 25,000 feet. The object moved into the prevailing wind and appeared to rotate continuously with no visible means of propulsion. DoD officially released the FLIR footage in 2020; AARO lists it as unresolved.
FLIR footage declassified by DoD captures a small, fast-moving object skimming approximately 25 feet above the Atlantic Ocean surface. Speed calculations from the FLIR data indicate the object was moving at a speed inconsistent with any known drone or projectile at that altitude. AARO classifies the GoFast as unresolved.
USAF Lieutenant George Gorman pursued a fast-moving luminous orb for 27 minutes over Fargo in his F-51 Mustang. The object executed head-on passes, outran the F-51, and climbed vertically faster than the aircraft could follow. Independently confirmed by control tower operators and two CAA controllers. Project Sign investigated and listed it as one of the 'best unexplained' cases.
Socorro police officer Lonnie Zamora observed a white oval craft with red insignia resting on legs in an arroyo, attended by two figures in white. He observed the craft take off with a roaring flame, become silent after 20 feet, and depart at high speed. Physical evidence — burned vegetation, soil compression, metal scrapings — was immediately confirmed by State Police and Army investigators. Project Blue Book listed this as 'unknown.'
A retired engineer observed a disc-shaped object land in his terraced garden in southern France. Physical trace evidence collected by French national police (Gendarmerie) was subsequently analyzed by GEPAN — the French government's official UAP investigation body — and found to include ground compression, scorched vegetation, and unusual biochemical changes in plant matter at the landing site. GEPAN's 1983 report remains one of the most rigorous official government UAP physical evidence analyses ever published.
US Army anti-aircraft batteries fired 1,400 rounds at an unidentified object hovering over Los Angeles. The object was illuminated by searchlights for over an hour and did not fall. The Secretary of the Navy attributed it to 'war nerves'; the Secretary of War stated a physical object was present. The official explanation remains contradicted by its own chain of command.
A jellyfish-shaped luminous object hovered over the city of Petrozavodsk for approximately 12 minutes, projecting multiple thin beams of light toward the ground that left perforations in windows. Soviet state news agency TASS reported the event officially — unprecedented for a UAP incident. Finnish meteorological stations independently detected anomalous atmospheric phenomena at the same time.
Zimbabwe Air Force Hawk jets were scrambled to intercept a structured metallic craft tracked by Harare ATC over central Zimbabwe. The object outperformed the interceptors at will, jamming their radar systems. The ZAF and Air Zimbabwe commercial pilots all filed formal reports. The Zimbabwean government acknowledged the event and briefed the UK Ministry of Defence.
An Army Reserve UH-1 helicopter crew of four had a near-collision with a large grey metallic object over Mansfield, Ohio. The object stopped the helicopter's controlled descent and the aircraft inexplicably climbed 2,000 feet with no crew input. The incident is regarded as one of the most credible military UAP cases in the official record due to the four-person trained military crew and corroborating ground witnesses.
Lavender farmer Maurice Masse observed a disc-shaped craft on his field with two small occupants. After his approach, one entity pointed a device at him causing temporary paralysis. The French Gendarmerie formally investigated, documenting ground traces including a concrete-hard depression where the craft landed, elevated calcium in the soil, and permanent damage to the lavender crop at the contact point.
Anglican priest Rev. William Gill and 38 witnesses at a mission station in Papua New Guinea observed a disc-shaped craft with apparent occupants over two consecutive nights. The British Colonial Government filed an official report. Gill and three other witnesses waved at the figures on the craft; the figures appeared to wave back. The case remains unexplained in all official assessments.
Two schoolboys in Kofu City, Japan observed a disc-shaped craft land in a vineyard near their home. One boy touched the craft's leg and his arm went numb. Yamanashi Prefecture Police officially investigated and documented the case. Physical ground traces — indentations from landing struts — were found at the reported contact point. The incident became one of the most formally documented UAP landing cases in Japanese official records.
Two Kentucky families reported a multi-hour siege by several small luminous humanoid entities at a rural farmhouse. The witnesses, finding they could not be harmed by gunfire, barricaded themselves and eventually fled. Kentucky State Police officers, Christian County Sheriff's deputies, and US Army MP personnel from nearby Fort Campbell responded. Officials documented a pattern of bullet holes in the house and found strange metallic-looking rings around the well.
The Soviet state news agency TASS issued an official wire report confirming a UAP landing in a Voronezh park, witnessed by approximately 30 people including children. Soviet militia and a scientific team investigated and documented physical ground traces — a 6-metre diameter circle of flattened grass and three landing depressions. The TASS report was reproduced internationally. Soviet scientists confirmed the site showed elevated radiation.
62 schoolchildren at Ariel School near Ruwa, Zimbabwe, watched a disc land in the scrubland adjacent to their school during morning break. Several children reported entities on or near the craft that communicated non-verbally. Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack flew to Zimbabwe and interviewed the children; he concluded they had experienced a genuine anomalous event. BBC and CNN covered the story internationally.
French engineer Renato Niccolai observed a disc-shaped craft land on his property. The French government's GEPAN office (official UAP investigation body within CNES) formally investigated the landing site. GEPAN's analysis found physical changes in the soil and vegetation at the landing site that could not be explained by natural causes — the most technically rigorous physical evidence analysis in the official French UAP record.
The Brazilian Air Force deployed a secret investigation team (Operation Saucer / Operação Prato) to northern Brazil following mass civilian sightings of craft that injured residents with light beams. The Brazilian Air Force classified the investigation SECRET. Colonel Uyrangê Hollanda led the team. The operation documented hundreds of incidents. Hollanda's interview before his death confirmed the Air Force considered the craft real and unexplained.
On July 26, 2023, the US House of Representatives held a landmark open hearing in which former intelligence official David Grusch testified under oath that the US government had a secret program to retrieve and reverse-engineer non-human craft. Former Navy pilots Ryan Graves and David Fravor testified about UAP encounters. Grusch subsequently filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the DoD Inspector General. The hearing was the most significant congressional UAP transparency event in 50 years.
The USS Princeton guided-missile cruiser, acting as the air warfare command ship for the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group, tracked anomalous radar contacts for approximately two weeks before the now-famous Tic-Tac visual encounter on November 14, 2004. Senior Chief Kevin Day documented the tracks showing objects dropping from 80,000 feet to sea level in approximately 0.78 seconds — an acceleration that would require forces of thousands of G's. Day later testified publicly about the radar data.
Patrolman Lonnie Zamora observed a white egg-shaped craft land in the Socorro desert, observed two small figures near it, and watched it depart vertically. The physical evidence — four circular landing impressions, burned brush at four locations, and a rock with blue flame residue — was documented by USAF Project Blue Book investigators. Dr. J. Allen Hynek considered it his single best case. The landing impressions were formally measured and preserved. Classified CIA and USAF documents reference this case specifically.
The November 2004 Nimitz events — involving 2 weeks of Princeton radar tracks and visual intercepts by multiple F/A-18 pilots — produced the classified 'FLIR1' (Tic-Tac) video. Commander Fravor's visual encounter remains the most detailed public official account of a close-range UAP intercept by a trained military pilot. The official DoD FLIR video was declassified and released in 2020. This incident is the anchor event of the modern era of US government UAP acknowledgment.
The USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group documented sustained UAP encounters across its 2014–2015 deployment. F/A-18 crews from VFA-11 reported near-daily UAP encounters. Two incidents — GIMBAL (an object rotating against the wind) and GOFAST (a fast-moving low-altitude object) — produced the official DoD infrared videos released in 2020. Pilot Ryan Graves testified that the objects appeared almost daily for months and that at least one near-miss occurred.
A Navy patrol aircraft crew observed a formation of luminous orbs performing extreme maneuvers over the Gulf of Mexico. Ship radar tracked the objects reaching 80,000 feet in under 30 seconds. The encounter coincided with the peak of the 1952 UFO wave and was reported to Project Blue Book.
A USAF B-29 crew returning to Pinecastle observed a large disc that executed a series of aerobatic maneuvers before hovering stationary as the bomber passed beneath it. Tower operators confirmed the radar contact. The disc paced the B-29 for several minutes before ascending vertically at extreme speed.
A USMC F9F Panther pilot obtained gun camera footage of an unidentified luminous object over Okinawa during the 1952 wave. Ground radar confirmed the contact. The K-20 camera footage was classified and forwarded to Blue Book as one of the program's few authenticated aerial gun camera records.
The Belgian Air Force's most dramatic scramble involved two F-16s achieving radar lock on a triangular craft nine times — each time the craft performed evasive maneuvers reducing its speed from 280 mph to 20 mph in a second. The general of the Belgian Air Force held a public press conference confirming the event.
Cuban Air Force radar detected a disc over Cuba shortly after the missile crisis. A MiG-21 pilot was ordered to fire — the cannon fired but the shells appeared to have no effect. The craft then accelerated vertically. US signals intelligence assets monitoring Cuban military communications captured the entire exchange.
Peruvian Air Force Captain Oswaldo Santin fired 64 cannon rounds at an intruding spherical craft over La Joya Air Base — the rounds appeared to have no effect. The craft climbed beyond the aircraft's ceiling and departed. Peruvian Air Force formally acknowledged the incident as their most significant on record.
The complete Nimitz CSG encounter involved not just the Tic-Tac but multiple objects over several days, transmedium behavior, and USS Princeton tracking objects descending from 80,000 feet to sea level. Commander David Fravor's intercept was one engagement in a multi-day event involving dozens of witnesses.
Two separate airline crews simultaneously reported a fast-moving luminous object at high altitude over the Pacific near Hawaii. FAA Honolulu Center confirmed the reports were simultaneous and independent. The incident was included in FAA Aviation Safety Reporting System records and subsequently cited in Congressional UAP briefings.
Amateur geologist Stefan Michalak suffered radiation burns, a grid-pattern chest injury, and subsequent radiation sickness after approaching a landed disc that discharged hot gas through a ventilation grid. Canadian authorities, RCMP, RCAF, and the US military all investigated. Physical evidence at the landing site was confirmed radioactive. Considered Canada's most documented physical UAP case.
A disc hovered over a petrochemical complex and Argentine Army garrison in Capitan Bermudez, causing compass failures and vehicle engine outages across a wide area. 150 witnesses from military and civilian populations. Argentine military investigation documented the vehicle interference. Classified by Argentine Army intelligence.
During the July 11, 1991 total solar eclipse over Mexico City, thousands of residents who had set up cameras to film the eclipse inadvertently captured the same stationary silver disc hovering at altitude. Over 17 independent videos from different locations and angles captured the same object. Mexican TV network Televisa aired the footage. The simultaneous independent recordings from different locations remain unexplained.
A massive silent black triangle was tracked by multiple police officers across southern Illinois in radio relay contact over 30 minutes. Officers across five jurisdictions — Highland, Lebanon, Shiloh, Millstadt, and Dupo — independently observed and reported the same object via police radio. Scott Air Force Base radar tracked an unknown contact. One of the most extensively documented police officer UAP encounters.
A silent black triangle hovered over Eldoret Airport and the adjacent Kenya Air Force Laikipia corridor at night. Eldoret Airport ATC tracked an unknown contact while the Kenya Air Force base reported communications jamming on military frequencies. US Embassy Nairobi forwarded the incident report to DIA. One of the few documented East African military UAP encounters.
Over 5,000 witnesses across New York's Hudson Valley reported a massive boomerang or V-shaped craft between 1982 and 1986. The object repeatedly hovered over densely populated suburban areas at low altitude with no sound. Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant security filed official reports on multiple occasions. FAA's Albany center received reports. Researchers J. Allen Hynek and Phil Imbrogno conducted ground-level investigation.
Sixty-two schoolchildren at Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, reported a craft landing on the school grounds during recess while teachers were in a staff meeting. The children described two humanoid figures that approached them and appeared to communicate through mental imagery. Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack spent three days interviewing the children and concluded they were not lying. One of the most extensively psychiatrically evaluated close encounter cases.
A disc hovered over the Valley of the Kings at Luxor for 45 minutes, visible to the German archaeological expedition, Egyptian Antiquities Authority officers, and tourist police. Egyptian Air Force radar at Luxor Airport tracked the contact. Magnetometers at the German excavation showed anomalous readings during the encounter. Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities filed an internal report.
A disc hovered over the Royal Australian Navy communications facility near Perth and HMAS Stirling before departing at extreme speed. RAAF Pearce radar tracked the contact. Perth Police received civilian reports. The Royal Australian Navy filed a confidential report to the RAAF Air Defence command. Australian Department of Air investigation noted the incident's proximity to sensitive naval communications infrastructure.
More than 300 students and teachers at two Melbourne schools simultaneously observed a silver-grey disc land in an adjacent paddock and depart at high speed. RAAF and Victoria Police arrived within hours. Students reported being warned by school staff not to speak about the incident. Physical traces including a flattened circular area were found at the landing site. Australia's largest documented multi-witness school UAP encounter.
Indian Army 14 Corps troops stationed in Ladakh reported over 100 sightings of luminous yellow-white orbs over a 3-month period in 2012-2013. The Defence Research and Development Organisation deployed robotic ground sensors to Ladakh to study the phenomenon. Chinese PLA activity in the region was ruled out. The DRDO filed a classified report. India's most extensively monitored military UAP phenomenon.
Thousands of residents of Bonnybridge and the Falkirk area of Scotland reported encounters with triangular and other shaped craft between 1992 and 1994. Falkirk District Councillor Billy Buchanan led a delegation to the Scottish Office and subsequently to Downing Street demanding official investigation. Scotland's Parliament received formal petitions. The Bonnybridge Triangle wave is the UK's most politically active community response to a UAP wave.
Peruvian Air Force pilot Colonel Oscar Santa Maria Huertas fired 64 cannon rounds at a luminous orb that showed no damage before accelerating away. The incident was officially acknowledged by the Peruvian Air Force. Huertas testified before the United Nations in 1992 and the US Congressional hearings in 2023. One of the few cases in which a military pilot testified publicly under oath about an armed encounter with an unidentified craft.
A large black triangle was observed hovering over the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array radio telescope complex and the Chilean Army garrison near Antofagasta. ALMA Observatory staff observed and photographed the object. The Chilean Air Force's Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA) investigated and concluded the triangle could not be explained by known aircraft.
Follow-up physical evidence investigation at Rendlesham Forest by USAF Deputy Base Commander Lt. Col. Charles Halt over three nights. Halt's cassette tape recording made in real time documents radiation readings at ground traces and a craft performing maneuvers over the weapons storage area. Halt filed a memo to the Ministry of Defence, later released under the UK's Freedom of Information Act. Sergeant Penniston's notebook described binary codes he copied from symbols on the craft.
Night watchman Yalcin Yalman captured multiple videos of disc-shaped craft over the Marmara Sea from the Kumburgaz holiday village on multiple occasions in 2008 and 2009. The footage was submitted to the Turkish Scientific and Technical Research Council (TUBITAK) for analysis. TUBITAK concluded the footage could not be explained by conventional phenomena. Turkey's National Council of Physical Sciences issued a statement about the footage.
Israeli Air Force F-16Is were scrambled to intercept an unidentified contact at 60,000 feet over the Negev Desert near the Dimona nuclear research center. The contact outperformed the F-16I at extreme altitude. Israeli air defense classified the encounter. Details emerged through a former IAF officer speaking to Israeli defence journalists in 2022.
A formation of amber orbs rearranged themselves in geometric patterns over Phoenix for 20 minutes, observed by hundreds of residents and Phoenix police. Sky Harbor Airport tower crew observed and reported. Phoenix Fire Department helicopters launched but could not locate the objects from the air. The encounter occurred in the approach corridor to Sky Harbor and FAA files on the event were requested.
Socorro Police Officer Lonnie Zamora observed an oval craft on legs in the desert with two humanoid figures. When he approached, the craft emitted a loud roar and departed. Physical evidence included scorched vegetation, burned soil, and four landing pad impressions. Project Blue Book investigator Dr. J. Allen Hynek called it 'the most authentic' case in the Blue Book files. FBI and Army Intelligence both investigated.
On the first night of the Rendlesham Forest incident, USAF Sergeant Jim Penniston and Airman John Burroughs approached a triangular craft in the forest to within arm's length. Penniston placed his hands on the craft's surface and recorded symbols in his notebook. He reported receiving a mental download of binary code. The notebook was submitted as evidence. Penniston later testified before Congress in 2023.
Argentine Air Force A-4AR interceptors tracked a large black triangle over the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Ezeiza International Airport ATC tracked the contact on approach control radar. Argentina's Comisión de Investigación de Fenómenos Aeronáuticos Inexplicados (CEFAE) investigated and rated the case as unexplained. Argentine civil aviation regulatory body ANAC filed a formal report.
Ed Walters captured a series of photographs of low-altitude disc-shaped craft in Gulf Breeze Florida over several weeks in 1987-1988. Local police officers, neighbors, and MUFON investigators independently corroborated sightings. The photographs were analyzed by Ground Saucer Watch and NASA image specialists. The Gulf Breeze case generated significant controversy and media coverage, with the Pensacola Naval Air Station nearby providing an unusual military aviation context.
Dozens of Soviet children and adults in a Voronezh city park reported a large sphere that landed, from which tall humanoid figures with three eyes emerged and walked among the observers. TASS — the Soviet state news agency — reported the incident, making it one of only two Soviet UAP events in TASS. Physical evidence including soil composition changes were documented. Voronezh police investigated.
Liquor store owner George O'Barski reported a disc landing in North Hudson Park, New Jersey, with humanoid figures descending and collecting soil samples. Multiple physical ground traces were found. NICAP and UFO investigator Budd Hopkins investigated. O'Barski also reported that an apartment building doorman and residents of a residential building directly overlooking the park corroborated his observations. FBI file documents the case.
French farmer Maurice Masse observed an egg-shaped craft landed in his lavender field with two humanoid beings collecting lavender samples. When Masse approached, one being directed a small device at him that caused temporary paralysis. Masse provided an extremely detailed account that remained consistent over decades. French Gendarmerie investigated. The ground at the landing site showed soil solidification to a depth of 4 feet for months afterward.
Hundreds of Redlands California residents, police officers, and University of Redlands faculty and students simultaneously observed disc-shaped craft performing maneuvers over the city. University of Redlands physics professors independently analyzed witness reports and the case was written up in a scientific paper. Norton Air Force Base radar tracking was investigated. One of the most academically-analyzed local UAP waves.
Anglican missionary Reverend William Gill and 37 mission staff and village witnesses observed a large disc with a superstructure and humanoid figures on its upper deck for multiple hours over multiple nights at Boianai Anglican Mission, Papua New Guinea. Gill and the figures appeared to wave at each other. Project Blue Book received the report via US Embassy. Gill's detailed written accounts on the night of the encounter are preserved.
Michigan State Police officers and hundreds of Michigan residents reported disc-shaped craft at low altitude over several days. Project Blue Book sent Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who suggested swamp gas as an explanation — a response so widely ridiculed that it prompted Congressional hearings. House Minority Leader Gerald Ford demanded an investigation. The swamp gas controversy directly led to the Condon Committee scientific study of UAP.
US Army Reserve Captain Lawrence Coyne and his three-man helicopter crew experienced a near-collision with a metallic craft that then appeared to lift their Huey from 1,700 feet back to 3,500 feet without any crew input to the collective. Civilian ground witnesses in four separate vehicles corroborated seeing the helicopter beam of light. The UN Special Committee on Outer Space Affairs included the case in its UAP records. United Nations report cited it.
A mass sighting of luminous orbs occurred over the military garrison town of Balashikha near Moscow, observed by Soviet Army troops and civilian residents for 45 minutes. KGB security filed a classified report. The proximity to Moscow and to strategic Soviet defense installations made the encounter particularly sensitive. The Soviet Academy of Sciences UAP Commission added the Balashikha case to its database as one of the Moscow Oblast high-priority cases.
A metallic disc hovered over the US Army Yuma Proving Ground weapons test range during live-fire testing operations. Test engineers and range safety personnel observed the craft for 20 minutes. Optical tracking instruments trained on projectile trajectories accidentally captured images of the disc. Army intelligence was notified. The encounter caused a temporary suspension of testing operations as range safety protocols required an unknown aircraft halt.
An orb hovered over the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory nuclear weapons design facility for 15 minutes. Department of Energy security and DOE Sandia National Laboratories security staff filed classified reports. The orb's presence over the nation's primary nuclear weapons design laboratory — responsible for the design of most US nuclear warheads — triggered the highest-priority security response. The incident was handled jointly by DOE security and AFOSI.
Nellis Air Force Base range tracking cameras captured video footage of a disc-shaped craft performing maneuvers over the classified Nevada Test and Training Range. The footage showed the craft with apparent surface features and a pulsing energy signature. The footage was leaked in 1994 and analyzed by multiple researchers. NBC News broadcast the footage. The Nellis footage represented some of the clearest government range camera UAP footage available in the 1990s.
Farmer George Pedley observed a disc rise from a swamp lagoon in Far North Queensland, Australia, leaving a circular area of flattened and woven reeds 30 feet in diameter. The 'saucer nest' was investigated by Queensland Police and Queensland Department of Primary Industries. Multiple additional nests were subsequently found. The Tully saucer nest is considered the first documented crop circle incident associated with a UAP observation.
Multiple witnesses near Lioux village in Provence observed a disc land in a field, leaving physical traces. The Gendarmerie Nationale investigated. The case became part of the founding evidence base for France's GEPAN official UAP investigation program established in 1977. GEPAN's scientific analysis of the soil and plant samples from the landing site contributed to France becoming the first country with an ongoing government UAP investigation.
Navajo Nation tribal police and reservation residents reported an extensive wave of triangular craft observations across the Navajo Reservation spanning Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah in 1994. Navajo Nation tribal police filed formal reports. Navajo Nation Council members raised the encounters with state law enforcement. The FBI Phoenix field office received reports. The geographic concentration across the sacred Navajo territory gave the wave cultural as well as security significance.
The only alleged abduction case with multiple witnesses to the initial incident who passed polygraph examinations. Six members of a forestry crew in Arizona watched a beam of light strike crew member Travis Walton, who then disappeared for five days. When Walton reappeared, he described an experience aboard a craft with multiple humanoid beings. All six crew witnesses passed polygraph tests administered independently. The case attracted sustained scientific and law enforcement investigation.
A US Army Reserve UH-1 Huey helicopter crew of four experienced a near-collision with a large metallic object over Ohio. A green beam from the craft filled the cockpit and the helicopter began rising despite the pilot pushing the collective to full-down. The crew was pulled from 2000 feet to 3800 feet involuntarily. Ground witnesses in a car below also observed the encounter. The incident was formally investigated by the Center for UFO Studies and submitted to the AIAA.
Building contractor Ed Walters photographed a disc-shaped craft with a blue beam above Gulf Breeze, Florida beginning in November 1987. Over 18 months, Walters claimed 40+ separate photographs and a physical beam that paralyzed him. Dozens of other Gulf Breeze residents independently photographed similar objects over the same period. MUFON and FUFOR investigation was extensive. Walters' case became one of the most controversial in UAP history, with both significant supporting independent witnesses and later challenges to evidence integrity.
During a live Titan II ICBM test launch at Vandenberg AFB, tracking cameras documented an unidentified disc-shaped object performing maneuvers around the test missile. The object appeared to disable the test vehicle mid-flight. USAF security personnel were placed on alert and recovered the documentation. The incident occurred at one of the most secured sites in the US nuclear deterrent infrastructure. The documentation was classified above Top Secret.
FLIR footage from the USS Russell and other Navy vessels filmed triangular or pyramid-shaped UAP hovering over the ships at night. The footage, leaked by investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell, showed objects appearing as triangular blinking lights through night-vision equipment. The Pentagon confirmed the footage was shot by Navy personnel and was under investigation by the UAP Task Force. The same deployment documented the USS Omaha transmedium sphere event, making it the most UAP-rich naval deployment in the modern record.
Two weeks before Commander Fravor's famous visual encounter, USS Princeton radar operators had been tracking the Tic Tac UAP on their Cooperative Engagement Capability system daily. The objects were observed dropping from 80,000 feet to sea level in less than a second — implying acceleration of hundreds of thousands of G-forces. The Princeton's senior chief petty officer Kevin Day later testified publicly that his chain of command was informed and that the two-week tracking period was deliberately excluded from the official investigation. The extended tracking makes the Nimitz event far more significant than the brief Fravor encounter suggests.
