Full Report
Pilots from the USS Nimitz carrier strike group, including Commander David Fravor, engaged a white tic-tac shaped craft displaying flight characteristics far beyond known human aviation: no visible propulsion, instantaneous acceleration, and ability to operate in any medium. The encounter was officially confirmed by the US Department of Defense in 2017 and the footage declassified.

The pilot testimony is one thing. The radar operators saying the same thing is what got my attention.

This was the first case I ever looked into after my own sighting.

What stands out to me isn’t the object itself, it’s the behaviour.

The descent from 80,000ft to 20,000ft in under a second is the kinematic signature nobody can explain away.

Princeton's radar tracking + Fravor's visual + David's FLIR is a three-source convergence we rarely see in UAP cases.
