UFO News Article: “Navy Pilot Who Filmed the ‘Tic Tac’ UFO Speaks: ‘It Wasn’t Behaving by the Normal Laws of Physics’ ”

19 December 2019

(New York Magazine, New York City, New York)

New York Magazine presents an interview with F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter pilot Chad Underwood.

It was Underwood who filmed the Tic Tac UFO on 14 November 2004 during the 2004 USS Nimitz exercise off San Diego, California.

This incident was part of the November 2004 USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group 11 UFO incidents that occurred about a hundred miles south west of San Diego, California.

The David Fravor and Jim Slaight incident also occurred on 14 November 2004 (a short while before the Underwood incident).

To my knowledge, ten U.S. Navy personnel, Sean Cahill, Kevin M. Day, David Fravor, Patrick J. Hughes, Omar Lara, Jim Slaight, Jason Turner, Chad Underwood, Gary Voorhis and Ryan Weigelt, have talked (or written) about the UFO incidents on the Internet.

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

Kevin M. Day was a Senior Chief Petty Officer (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.

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 (the David Fravor incident).

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

F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter pilot Lieutenant Chad Underwood filmed (on 14 November 2004) the Tic Tac (FLIR1) UFO using a Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod. The UFO was filmed a while after David Fravor’s incident.

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

AD1(AW) Ryan Weigelt, Aviation Machinist’s Mate Petty Officer 1st Class, was present on the USS Princeton during the November 2004 UFO encounters.

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 TV News Report: “THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE? – WHY IS THE GOV’T SO SECRETIVE ABOUT UFOs?”

19 December 2019

(Fox News, New York City, New York)

Tucker Carlson (Tucker Carlson Tonight) interviews Tom Rogan.

Quote from Tom Rogan’s 17 December 2019 article in the Washington Examiner:

“What I believe is really going on here is that the few individuals in the U.S. government who know about this issue believe the phenomena might be a threat. And they don’t know how to deal with it.”

UFO News Article: “OPINION: The real reasons the US Government is so secretive about UFOs”

By Tom Rogan, 17 December 2019

(Washington Examiner, Washington, D.C.)

Quote from the article:

“What I believe is really going on here is that the few individuals in the U.S. government who know about this issue believe the phenomena might be a threat. And they don’t know how to deal with it.”

My comment: I agree 100% with this statement, Mr. Rogan. Based on all the U.S. military (and other militaries) UFO evidences (government documents, radar recordings, gun camera footages, films, photographs, landing evidences and reports by pilots and other personnel), the military (at least some of the top brass) knows the UFO phenomenon is real and that the unknown objects exhibit extremely advanced technology that cannot be matched by any known Earthly craft or technology.

And – let us not forget the ICBM/UFO incidents (including shutdowns by UFOs of nuclear weapon launch facilities in the 1960s) in the U.S. Northern Tier states. So – high ranking U.S. military officials know (without a doubt) that UFOs represent a current and future threat to the Earth.

UFO News Article: “Lauderdale Law Officers Report UFO”

28 September 1973

(The Tennessean, Nashville, Tennessee)

The whole article:

“Sheriff Lewis Gitchell of Lauderdale County and one of his deputies said yesterday they saw unidentified flying objects west of Ripley Wednesday night [26 September 1973].

Gitchell said he watched through binoculars as three lights on an object at least 20 miles away changed from red to white.

‘I CAN’T SAY what it was, but I know I saw it,’ Gitchell said.

Deputy Myron Kissell said he saw an object that seemed to have a triangular shape and two orange-tinted lights, one larger than the other that appeared to beam. He said the beam would shine in one direction and then in another. The deputy said the object was about five miles east of his home and about 300 feet off the ground.

‘I don’t know what it was, but I am sure it wasn’t anything from nature,’ Kissell said.”

UFO news article: 
“Roundtown Policemen Sees UFO”

16 October 1973

(The Circleville Herald, Ohio)

The whole article:

“Once again the sighting of unidentified flying objects has been reported in the skies over Circleville with area residents and two city police officers seeing the strange phenomenon Monday night [15 October 1973 (?)] and early Tuesday morning [16 October 1973 (?)]. Donald M. smith, lot 19, Wilson Trailer Court, called local authorities 4:23 a.m. Tuesday to report a large golden object in the sky southwest of the city. He told officers he had spotted the unidentified object earlier when he left work in Columbus. When he arrived home, he once again spotted the UFO as he got out of his car.

Ptl. Ron Smith and Mike Golden were dispatched to the scene and both reported seeing a large golden object in the sky. It appeared to be emitting a large red plume and was moving in circles as the officers viewed it.

The officers notified base operations al Lockbourne Air Base of the sighting but did not receive any explanation.

Myra LeRoy of Stoutsville, an X-ray technician at Berger Hospital also reported the sighting of a strange object in the sky.

She stated that she was on her way to work from Stoutsville about 8 p.m. when she noticed a sphere, emitting a dull light, in the southwest sky. It appeared to be much lower than the stars.

She left work at the hospital at 9:15 p.m. and the object could still be seen in the sky to the east.

‘It frightened me,’ she said, ‘and I certainly don’t ever want to get any closer to one.’ ”

UFO Article: “UFO’s On Radar”

By Micah Hanks, 26 March 2017

(KGRA Digital Broadcasting, Ogden, Utah)

In this article, Hanks mentions the 13-14 August 1956 RAF Bentwaters, UK; December 1980 Rendlesham Forest, UK (RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge); 8 March 1994 South West Michigan and 14 December 1994 Trumbull County, Ohio, radar UFO incidents.

Quote from the article:

“To end on a hopeful note, in instances where radar traces match the visual record of objects seen within a given timeframe and vicinity, one would hope that having both sets of data, at least in circumstances where visual conditions are favorable, might lend credence to the idea that physical objects were indeed present, at least in some of the better UFO reports involving radar over the years.”

From Michael D. Swords’ 2012 article about the 8 March 1994 South West Michigan UFO case (thebiggeststudy.blogspot.com) 

(I report about this article on 15 August 2017):

“The map at the left [the above map] shows the approximate locations of the NOAA radar station [at ‘A’], the most famous of the observations [by the Graves family, at the pink dewdrop], and several of the other reported sightings, marked with yellow circles, all of which were reported as happening at or VERY near 9:30pm. Rather astonishing. And I believe a little known fact about this case. It was as if Western Michigan ‘lit up’ with UFOs at the same time.”
