The US Navy carrier strike group Nimitz encountered unidentified flying objects multiple times. Pilots David Fravor and Jim Slaight observed a white Tic-Tac-shaped object maneuvering at extreme speeds without any aerodynamic surfaces. Forward-looking infrared radar and pilot helmet cameras recorded the entire event, the first UAP incident confirmed simultaneously by military sensors and pilots.
