The Encounter
Chad Underwood was a lieutenant on the USS Nimitz during the famous Tic Tac UFO encounter in 2004. He filmed the object, which was jamming their systems, while flying with the VFA-41 Black Aces. Underwood described the object as a white, oblong shape resembling a Tic Tac. He initially tracked it on radar before it performed unusual maneuvers and disappeared from both his radar and the Princeton's radar. After the encounter, he felt it was not a U.S. black project and left open the possibility of it being extraterrestrial. The encounter has led to ongoing discussions and interest in his experience, but he maintains a humorous perspective about it with friends and family.

I did get jamming cues on my radar tape.
The radar tape is classified and probably won't be seen for a long time.
The tic tac did not exhibit characteristics of known aircraft.
There was no red air in the area during the intercept.
The object maneuvered in a way that is not indicative of civilian or commercial aircraft.
The technology exhibited by the tic tac is not something I can explain.
I was not consulted for the 2009 investigation report that stated I did not receive jamming cues.
The evidence suggests that the tic tac is not U.S. technology.
