The Encounter
Chad Underwood is a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy. In November 2004, he filmed a tic-tac-shaped UAP while on duty with the Black Aces squadron off the coast of San Diego. Underwood received a vector to investigate a target and locked onto it with his infrared camera. He noticed the object had no typical aircraft features like wings or exhaust. The UAP displayed erratic behavior and jammed his radar, which is considered an act of war. The encounter left Underwood puzzled, as the object's instantaneous acceleration defied known physics. He reported the incident and shared the video, which has been confirmed by the U.S. government. The experience changed his perspective on aerial phenomena, leaving him with more questions than answers.
