Shop USS Nimitz

Overview

In November 2004, U.S. Navy pilots from the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group encountered a mysterious, white, wingless object during a training exercise off the coast of Southern California. The craft—dubbed the “Tic Tac” for its shape—was tracked descending from 80,000 feet to sea level in under a second, performing maneuvers far beyond known aircraft capabilities. Despite being recorded on advanced radar and infrared sensors, and observed by trained pilots, the object's origin and technology remain unexplained. The event has since become one of the most credible and studied military UFO encounters in modern history.
