David Fravor talks about the 14 November 2004 USS Nimitz UFO incident.

The November 2004 USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group 11 UFO incidents occurred about a hundred miles south west of San Diego, California. The main UFO incident occurred on 14 November 2004 (Fravor and Slaight).

To my knowledge, eight U.S. Navy personnel, Sean Cahill, Kevin M. Day, David Fravor, Patrick J. Hughes, Omar Lara, Jim Slaight, Jason Turner and Gary Voorhis, have talked about the UFO incidents on the Internet.

Sean Cahill was the Chief Master-at-Arms aboard the USS Princeton.

Kevin M. Day was a radar operator aboard the USS Princeton.

David Fravor, who chased the UFO (resembled a white Tic Tac), was flying his F/A-18F Super Hornet jet fighter.

It was not Fravor who filmed the Tic Tac UFO. The UFO was filmed a while after Fravor’s incident.

At the time of the UFO incident, Fravor was the commanding officer of the VFA-41 Black Aces, a U.S. Navy strike fighter squadron.

P. J. Hughes was an aviation technician aboard the USS Nimitz.

Omar Lara was a Flight Decker in Air Ops aboard the USS Nimitz.

Lieutenant Commander (later Commander) Jim Slaight was the pilot of the second F/A-18F Super Hornet jet fighter.

Jason Turner was a Petty Officer Third Class (in Supply) aboard the USS Princeton.

Gary Voorhis was a Fire Controlman Petty Officer Third Class aboard the USS Princeton.

A large number of UFOs were recorded on radar on and off for several days during the November 2004 U.S. Navy exercise, according to USS Princeton radar operator Kevin M. Day.

Gary Voorhis experienced that the unknown objects “zoomed around at ridiculous speeds and angles and trajectories,” and that “it (the UFOs) was moving faster than our radar could register.”

UFO News Article:
“Navy tracks UFO at 3,000mph”


1 May 1982

The whole article:
“Are UFO’s real? Certainly, most of those people who see them believe they are real. Even more convincing, UFOs are sometimes picked up on radar. Following is a case that occurred at a time when no nation on earth had any rocket or aircraft capable of doing what this object did. In fact, we still don’t have such capabilities. 

The USS Dyess steamed slowly through the night off the Atlantic Coast, keeping track of all air traffic within hundreds of miles to prevent any sneak attack by the Soviet Union.

‘We were afraid the Russians were going to bomb Washington at that time because we had gone into Korea,’ said Dr. Robert Wood, who was then a Navy lieutenant commander.

The Dyess, a radar picket destroyer, was about 125 miles southeast of Cape May, N.J., and Lt. Cmdr. Wood, the ship’s operations officer and an air controller, was manning one of the radars at the time.

‘We were plotting all the aircraft going north and south along the coast and inland as far as the Appalachians and any objects that were comng [sicin from the northeast, the east and the southeast.

‘Every aircraft had to have a certain set of parameters — distances, heights and whatnot — on their point of arrival over us.

‘On this particular night — it was about 11:30 one night in March 1951, I forget the exact date — this object came in from the east and got within about 30 miles of us when it just stopped dead.

‘It had been moving rather slowly, about 85 to 90 knots. We didn’t have the altitude-determining radar on at the time and we had to get one of the operators to come up. When he did, we found the object was somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000 to 4,000 feet altitude.

‘This object gave us a blip on the radar screen about the size of a large aircraft, like a DC8 or a DC9. I phoned the bridge and they informed the captain, who ordered the ship to head out in the direction of the object.

We’d been loafing along steaming in circles, and didn’t have all our boiler power on. We did about as much as we could, about 22 knots, out in that direction.

‘We got to within about 15 miles of that object when it suddenly took off at a very high rate of speed. It was going so rapidly that as the radar turned we could see the blip just jumping across the screen.

‘We estimated it was going 5,000 kilometers an hour or roughly 3,000 miles an hour.

‘Then, when it got up within 35 or 40 miles south of Nantuckett, it suddenly just took off and went straight up!

‘I called the bridge and said, ‘We’re losing contact, the object is fading.’ And the operator on the altitude-determining radar in the other end of the room said, ‘NO! I’ve still got it! It’s 100 miles high and it’s still going straight up!’

The object then faded from the second radar.

Altogether, they had tracked the object about 35 to 40 minutes, said Dr. Wood, who is now a professor of astronomy and director of the observatory at Brevard Community College in Cocoa, Fla.

‘We reported it to the Pentagon but we never heard anything more about it.’

‘He couldn’t explain what it was he tracked that night. He has long accepted the idea that it was an unidentified flying object, whatever that may be.’

‘That was in 1951,’ he said. ‘I knew radar and I knew what it could do. We didn’t have any aircraft that could go that fast, especially after it came and hovered. And then when it got up near Nantuckett it just went straight up and disappeared. 

‘There must be something there. There’s more than just smoke. There must be fire.’ ”

The article is written by the late journalist Bob Pratt, who for years investigated the UFO phenomenon.

UFO Video Interview:
“Tic Tac Witness Jason Turner Interview”


Published: 26 September 2019
(The Nimitz Encounters (YouTube channel))

Video text:
“Nov 2004, in the Pacific Ocean west of Baja CA. The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and the guided missile cruiser USS Princeton were completing TTSA and COMPTUEX training. These are combined unit training ops designed to bring the ships up to deployment readiness. US Navy vet Jason Turner was on USS Princeton. In this very unusual UFO case, Jason has some important insight as a second hand witness from the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group. This is the full interview from my research and film I wanted to share with you. I used a small portion in the film, it is an important historical record of this event.”

The YouTube channel is run by U.S. filmmaker David C. Beaty.
