The Tic Tac

1. For about two weeks, according to crew accounts, the advanced SPY-1 radar on the cruiser USS Princeton tracks objects descending from about 80,000 feet to near sea level in a matter of seconds.
2. On November 14, Cmdr. David Fravor and Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich are vectored to a contact. They see a disturbance in the water and a white, smooth, wingless object about 40 feet long.
3. As Fravor descends toward it, the object ‘mirrors’ his movements, then accelerates away ‘like nothing I’ve ever seen’. Radar picks it up roughly 60 miles away moments later — at the jets’ pre-planned meeting point.
4. Hours later, Lt. Chad Underwood records the object on an infrared targeting pod. This becomes the ‘FLIR1’ video.
