A
SPLASH OVER THE LAST 6
MONTHS...BUT WHAT WERE THOSE
OBJECTS IN THE SKY? ((BRIAN 
LOFTUS))
>> SINCE THE PENTAGON'S 
RELEASE OF THREE UFO VIDEOS,
ARMCHAIR EXPERTS HAVE SPECULATED
THAT MAYBE THE OBJECTS ARE BIRDS
OR BALLOONS, OR SOMETHING 
MUNDANE.
BUT NOW, THE I-TEAM HAS OBTAINED
AN IN-DEPTH REPORT
PREPARED BY AND FOR THE 
MILITARY. 
((DENISE VALDEZ)) 
>> IT ANALYZES THE SO-CALLED
"TIC TAC" UFO USING THE MOST
SOPHISTICATED SENSOR SYSTEMS IN 
THE WORLD.
GEORGE KNAPP HAS THE EXCLUSIVE
STORY.
(( )) 
OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD IN LATE
2004, AN UNKNOWN, 45 FOOT LONG
TIC TAC SHAPED OBJECT PLAYED CAT
AND 
MOUSE WITH THE U.S. 
NAVY OFF THE
COAST OF CALIFORNIA.
THE MIGHTY U.S.S. 
NIMITZ AIRCRAFT CARRIER, AND ITS
SUPPORT SHIPS INCLUDING THE USS 
PRINCETON, CARRYING THE MOST
SOPHISTICATED SENSOR SYSTEMS IN 
THE WORLD, REPEATEDLY DETECTED
RECURRING GLIMPSES OF THE TIC 
TAC BUT WERE UNABLE TO LOCK ON. 
ON NOVEMBER 14, F-18S WERE
ORDERED INTO THE AREA AND SAW IT
UP CLOSE. 
VETERAN 
PILOT DAVE FRAVOR, COMMANDER OF 
THE 
ELITE BLACK ACES UNIT, SAYS THE 
TIC 
TAC REACTED TO THE PRESENCE OF
THE F-18S THEN TOOK OFF LIKE A
BULLET FIRED FROM A GUN.
DAVID FRAVOR/RETIRED
NAVY PILOT
IT TAKES OFF LIKE 
NOTHING I'VE EVER SEEN. 
ONE MINUTE IT'S HERE, AND OFF 
IT'S GONE.
IN THE EXPLOSION OF MEDIA 
INTEREST
THAT FOLLOWED THE PENTAGON'S
RELEASE OF THE TIC TAC VIDEO
ALONG WITH RECORDINGS OF TWO
OTHER ENCOUNTERS, COMMANDER 
FRAVOR EXPRESSED THE OPINION
THAT THE TECHNOLOGY WAS FAR MORE
ADVANCED THAN ANYTHING KNOWN ON 
EARTH.
FRAVOR
SOMETHING NOT FROM
THIS WORLD... 
BUT IN THE MONTHS SINCE THE 
RELEASE, THE PENTAGON HAS 
CLAMMED UP. 
IT HAS DECLINED TO RELEASE
OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE
NIMITZ TIC TAC ENCOUNTER, OR
SIMILAR INCIDENTS.
LUIS ELIZONDO/FORMER
PENTAGON INTELLIGENCE OFFICER:
THERE ARE MANY MANY 
NIMITZ INCIDENCES THAT ARE
EQUALLY 
COMPELLING, THAT ARE TOLD FROM
THE EYES OF 
PEOPLE LIKE COMMANDER DAVE
FRAVOR. 
UNTIL LAST YEAR, LUE ELIZONDO 
RAN 
AATIP, A SECRET PENTAGON
ASSIGNMENT THAT QUIETLY 
EVALUATED UFO INCIDENT REPORTS. 
HE CHAFES AT THE ARMCHAIR 
EXPERTS WHO CLAIM THE TIC TAC 
WAS A BALLOON 
OR BIRD, A MISTAKE BY THE PILOTS
OR A TECHNICAL GLITCH.
LUE:
LET THE DATA SPEAK FOR
ITSELF. 
LET THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVE
FROM ELECTRO OPTICAL DATA,
ELECTRO MECHANICAL MECHANISMS BE
THE 
TOOL IN WHICH WE LOOK AND 
COMPARE WHAT THE
EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY IS SAYING. 
ELIZONDO IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO 
RELEASE SUCH INFORMATION, BUT 
THE I-TEAM OBTAINED SOME OF IT
ANYWAY. 
EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE MADE A
WHIRLWIND TRIP TO WASHINGTON
FOR A DEBRIEFING ARRANGED BY
FORMER SENATOR HARRY REID.
WHILE IN D.C., WE OBTAINED
COPIES
OF UNCLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS 
RELATED TO THE UFO ENCOUNTERS,
INCLUDING THE TIC TAC.
THIS ANALYSIS WAS COMPILED IN 
2009 WITH INPUT FROM MULTIPLE 
AGENCIES. 
IT
CONFIRMS THE NIMITZ GROUP HAD 
SEVERAL INTERACTIONS WITH AAV'S,
ANOMALOUS AERIAL VEHICLES.
THE REPORT LISTS THE ADVANCED 
SENSORS INVOLVED AT THE 
TIME.....AN-SPY, CAPABLE OF 
TRACKING A GOLF BALL AT 100 
MILES...THE E-2-C HAWKEYE 
AIRBORNE
EARLY WARNING AIRCRAFT, AS WELL 
AS SHIPBOARD RADARS AND SENSORS 
ON MULTIPLE F-18S WHICH 
INTERACTED WITH THE TIC TAC, AND
WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
PILOTS REPORTED A LARGE 
DISTURBANCE JUST UNDER THE
SURFACE OF THE OCEAN, ROUND AND 
100 YARDS ACROSS. 
IT APPEARED AS IF 
THE TIC TAC WAS RENDEZVOUSING 
WITH THE UNDERWATER OBJECT. 
AMONG THE KEY FINDINGS IN THE 
REPORT---.THE AAV IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO THE 
U.S.
OR ANY OTHER NATION....IT WAS SO
ADVANCED, IT RENDERED U.S.
CAPABILITIES INEFFECTIVE...IT 
SHOWED VELOCITIES FAR GREATER 
THAN ANYTHING KNOWN TO EXIST, 
AND IT COULD TURN ITSELF
INVISIBLE, BOTH TO RADAR AND THE
HUMAN EYE...ESSENTIALLY IT WAS
UNDETECTABLE, AND 
UNCHALLENGED... 
THE REPORT INCLUDING STATEMENTS 
FROM SEVEN F-18 PILOTS AS WELL
AS RADAR OPERATORS ON THE SHIPS.
DESPITE THE SERIOUSNESS OF
THE ENCOUNTER, THE PILOTS FACED 
RIDICULE AFTER THEIR ENCOUNTERS.
THE NAVY'S INITIAL REPORT WAS 
BURIED, NOT FORWARDED TO
COMMAND.
IT WAS DECIDED THE AAV WAS NOT A
THREAT. 
5 YEARS LATER, THIS MORE
COMPREHENSIVE 
ASSESSMENT WAS COMPILED BUT WAS 
NEVER MADE PUBLIC AND HAS BEEN
SEEN
BY FEW, EVEN INSIDE THE 
PENTAGON. 
FORMER INTELLIGENCE 
OFFICIAL CHRIS MELLON OPINED IN 
THE WASHINGTON POST THAT THE
PENTAGON'S UNWILLINGNESS TO 
DISCUSS THESE ENCOUNTERS OR 
SHARE INFORMATION WITH OTHER
MILITARY BRANCHES IS A THREAT TO
NATIONAL SECURITY, COMPARABLE TO
WHEN THE CIA AND FBI FAILED TO
SHARE INFORMATION PRIOR 
TO 9-11 
GEORGE KNAPP 8 NEWS NOW,. 
((DENISE VALDEZ)) 
>>> THE ANALYSIS REPORT IS
NOT DATED AND HAS NO LOGO, BUT
FOUR
SEPARATE PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMILIAR
WITH ITS CONTENTS CONFIRMED TO
US IT IS THE REAL DEAL AND WAS
WRITTEN AS PART OF A PENTAGON 
PROGRAM.
((BRIAN LOFTUS))
>> ANOTHER HIGHLY CLASSIFIED
VERSION WAS ALSO WRITTEN BUT IS 
UNLIKELY TO EVER BE
