What We Don't Know
"It is just what we call a UFO. It couldn't identify it. It was flying. And it was an object. It's as simple as that."
"You don't see birds at 5,000 or 10,000 or 20,000 feet. That's just not how birds operate."
"You know, I've got top-secret clearance with a ton of special-project clearances. So, it's not like I wasn't cleared to know. But, as I'm sure you've found in your research [New York Magazine], to have clearance to know something you have to have both the clearance that it's elevated to and you have to have the 'need to know' it. And, clearly, whatever it was, if it was a government project, I did not need to know."
"The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic it was behaving. And what I mean by 'erratic', is that its changes in altitude, air speed, and aspect were just unlike things that I've ever encountered before flying against other air targets."
"Because, aircraft, whether they're manned or unmanned, still have to obey the laws of physics. They have to have some source of lift, some source of propulsion. The Tic Tac was not doing that. It was going from like 50,000 feet to, you know, a hundred feet in like seconds, which is not possible."
"If it was obeying physics like a normal object that you would encounter in the sky -- an aircraft, or a cruise missile, or some sort of special project that the government didn't tell you about -- that would have made more sense to me. The part that drew our attention was how it wasn't behaving within the normal laws of physics."

"We've been waiting around as scholars and researchers on the subject for many decades and hoping to God that one day the government would come out and acknowledge what this is."He was flying his F/A-18 Super Hornet over the Pacific fifteen years ago, when the radar pod on his plane captured a strange object flying in the near distance, and suddenly it was gone. Another, different pilot earlier that very day reported the very same image, about 40-feet long, in an oblong shape, white, hovering above the Pacific off the coast of Mexico. They called it "the Tic Tac". Pilot Underwood has had ample experience with flying objects, and he shudders at the prospect of himself being taken as a "little green men crazy".

He saw something on that day, something he has no explanation for. What he does know for certain is that whatever it was he saw failed to respect the law of physics. It flew from around 50,000 feet to descend to some hundred feet above sea level within the eye-blinking space of seconds and despite its speed, no sonic boom presented, there were no exhaust plumes reflective of some kind of propulsion.
And nor was it a top-secret test aircraft since someone like him with top clearance in the military would have been informed that to be the case. And then ... someone from NORAD contacted the USS Nimitz immediately following the report of the sighting for a narrative of what, exactly, was seen by this man. Serious enough that the military spent two weeks in an effort to understand what Pilot Underwood had seen and described. The radar system on his plane underwent recalibration to ensure it was working properly.
There was a credible report on objects observed by navy pilots in May, reported by The New York Times, including an incident where a Super Hornet came disastrously close to hitting ... 'something'. Another story from 2017, of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Thread Identification Program to analyze UFO sightings. This past September, a report on former Blink-182 frontman, Tom DeLonge, who left the band to occupy himself as a UFO researcher.
Whose prodding seemed to lead the U.S. military to acknowledge that several objects whose presence was caught on film, a presence that defies identification other than flying objects was in their possession and well known to them. The organization has fixed a firm focus on research in the 2004 Tic Tac video filmed by Chad Underwood, hoping to be able to understand or interpret the profound mystery behind these flying objects.
