FLIR1: the 2004 USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" video
What this means
Primary records exist: an original document, a published text, an official file or a dated report. We link to them. This level says the record exists and what it says, not that every claim in it is true.
Seventy-six seconds of infrared footage from a Navy jet off San Diego in 2004, of an object that pilots said moved in ways no aircraft could. The Pentagon released it in April 2020. Watch it, then read what was and was not explained.
