Tic Tac UAP

David Fravor was commander of an F/A-18F squadron of the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group. He claims to have investigated radar indications of a possible target off the coast of southern California. Fravor said the operator had told him that the USS Princeton (CG-59), part of the strike group, had been tracking unusual aircraft for two weeks prior to the incident. The aircraft would appear at 80,000 feet before descending rapidly toward the sea, and stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering. David saw an object off the coast of Southern California on Nov. 14, 2004. It was white and oval, hovering above an ocean disturbance. He estimated that the object was about 40 feet (12 m) long. A second wave of fighters, which included weapons systems officer Lieutenant Commander Chad Underwood, took off from Nimitz to investigate. Unlike Fravor, Underwood's fighter was equipped with an advanced infrared camera (FLIR). Underwood recorded the FLIR video, and coined the description "Tic Tac" to describe the infrared image.
