The USS Nimitz 'Tic Tac' encounter was a November 2004 series of US Navy radar and infrared contacts off Baja California, during which fighter crews reported a fast, wingless, white oval object. It was later examined by the UAP Task Force and is associated with the released FLIR1 video. It matters as one of the best-documented military UAP cases, combining multi-sensor radar, FLIR, and credible pilot eyewitness accounts.
