Another Navy Pilot Who Tracked the Tic Tac UFO Breaks His Silence

If by now you haven’t heard about the USS Nimitz encounters with the “Tic Tac” UFO off the coast of San Diego, or retired US Navy Commander David Fravor’s first hand account of leading his squadron of Super Hornets as they engaged and tracked the craft, the question I have for you is, “Why not?” What could be so important in your life that you’re ignoring the most significant proof of extraterrestrial visits to Earth in human history? I’m all about getting to the theater this weekend to watch CGI space ships and actors in costumes talk to other actors in robot suits and space bear fur. But in no way could that be more interesting than real aliens being captured on film by our own military.

But if that’s you, by all means take a few minutes to hear Cmdr. Fravor’s interview with Joe Rogan. And as you do, realize that the people who tracked this thing aren’t random crackpots or easily deceived simpletons. These are the best and brightest we have. Steely-eyed missile men and women. The most highly trained professionals in the world who are trusted to fly sophisticated, $70 million death machines and lead others in combat.

Which I mention today because another pilot who was there on that day in 2004 and also encountered the UFO has broken his silence. Chad Underwood – the guy who actually gave it the name “Tic Tac,” –  just did an interview with The Intelligencer, and explained to them he’s kept quiet up until now in order to avoid having his name “attached to the ‘little green men’ crazies that are out there.” His words, not mine. And he very much confirms Fravor’s version of events:

 The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic it was behaving. And what I mean by “erratic” is that its changes in altitude, air speed, and aspect were just unlike things that I’ve ever encountered before flying against other air targets. It was just behaving in ways that aren’t physically normal. That’s what caught my eye. Because, aircraft, whether they’re manned or unmanned, still have to obey the laws of physics. They have to have some source of lift, some source of propulsion. The Tic Tac was not doing that. It was going from like 50,000 feet to, you know, a hundred feet in like seconds, which is not possible.

And it was doing that during your engagement too?
Yes. That was the thing that was the most interesting to me: how erratic this thing was. If it was obeying physics like a normal object that you would encounter in the sky — an aircraft, or a cruise missile, or some sort of special project that the government didn’t tell you about — that would have made more sense to me. The part that drew our attention was how it wasn’t behaving within the normal laws of physics. You’re up there flying, like, “Okay. It’s not behaving in a manner that’s predictable or is normal by how flying objects physically move.”

From looking at the video at the time and more recently, do you get a sense as to how much heat this thing was giving off?
Well, normally, you would see engines emitting a heat plume. This object was not doing that. The video shows a source of heat, but the normal signatures of an exhaust plume were not there. There was no sign of propulsion. You could not see the thing that the ATFLIR pod should pick up 100 percent of the time: the source of heat and exhaust that a normal object flying would give you.

So no big deal. Just our Top Gun pilots, flying our most complex piece of machinery equipped the most technologically advanced tracking devices ever invented, captured footage and data on a craft that defies all known laws of physics. One that operates without any type of propulsion, thrust, heat or exhaust plume like every single man made object does. And it was able to travel 50,000 feet in mere seconds.

So dismiss this as nothing if that makes you feel better. Deny the fact that the very people we trust to defend us know what they witnessed and captured it with their instruments if that helps. Go ahead and pass this off as a mistake or some natural phenomena or a weather balloon so you can sleep at night. Just remember that when you watch the Millennium Falcon zizzing around between Star Destroyers and TIE Fighters, that it’s happening for real right over your head.
