Tic Tac UFO: Clarifying Misconceptions: Commander Fravor clarified misconceptions about the Tic Tac UFO by sharing his personal experience of attempting to communicate with the object and confirm its existence with the Princeton using radio communication.
The term "Tic Tac UFO" came from Commander David Fravor's description of an unknown object he encountered in 2004, which he compared to the shape of a Tic Tac candy to avoid being taken less seriously. This term has since gained widespread attention and defined the public discourse around this unexplained phenomenon. During their conversation, Fravor and the interviewer also discussed misconceptions about the object's behavior, such as it not disappearing at extraordinary speeds or being a camera artifact. To clarify these misconceptions, Fravor shared his personal experience of attempting to communicate with the object and confirm its existence with the Princeton using radio communication.
Encountering unexplained phenomena in flight: When encountering unexplained phenomena during a flight, collect and analyze all available data for further investigation.
When receiving orders from a commanding officer, pilots should take it seriously and investigate thoroughly. The speaker in this discussion encountered an unidentified object during a flight, which did not exhibit typical aircraft characteristics, such as exhaust fumes or conventional flight patterns. Despite not being able to identify the object himself, the pilot collected as much video evidence as possible to bring back for further analysis by intelligence experts. The object, which has become known as the "Tic Tac Video," was not emitting any heat or exhaust, making it difficult to identify through the FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) pod. This incident highlights the importance of collecting and analyzing all available data when encountering unexplained phenomena.
Witness did not lose lock on Tic Tac despite it disappearing on screen: The Tic Tac did not disappear due to a system malfunction, but rather, it deliberately broke the lock and moved off the screen.
The witness in the video did not lose lock on the unidentified object, also known as the Tic Tac, despite it appearing to do so on the screen. Instead, the object broke the lock and rapidly moved off to the left. This was not a system malfunction, but rather a deliberate action by the object. The witness attempted to reacquire the target by changing direction and contacting the Princeton for assistance, but was unable to find it again. The consistency of the optical information received by the weapon systems is crucial for effective targeting, and a sudden change in direction or disappearance of the target would disrupt this consistency. Therefore, the observed behavior of the Tic Tac cannot be explained by a lens change or other mundane causes.
