F-15 MTD || NIMITZ Tic Tac Incident

USS Nimitz UAP incident: Tic Tac UFO.
My personal interpretation of what happened during those encounters based of eye witness reports of the multiple navy pilots that have come forward with their stories.
US Navy pilot Commander David Fravor (Ret.) reports to have seen a white 40 foot long Tic Tac shaped object that demonstrated outstanding flying capabilities without any visible wings or propulsion system. The object has also been witnessed by Fravor's weapon systems officer and by the crew of a second F/A 18 fighter jet.
Later that day, another navy jet with an ATFLIR targeting pod has pursued presumably the same object and captured a video. The video was released to the public named "FLIR1" on December 16, 2017. It's authenticity has later been confirmed by a spokeswoman for the Pentagon and by a spokesperson for the deputy chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare.
On April 27, 2020 the DOD officially released a statement along with three videos already known to the public, admitting that those videos were indeed Navy videos showing UAP that remain "unidentified". One of those videos is the "FLIR" video which was featured in reports on the USS Nimitz inicdent of 2004.
The Pentagon UFO videos are selected visual recordings of cockpit instrumentation displays from United States Navy fighter jets based aboard aircraft carriers USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt in 2004, 2014 and 2015, with additional footage taken by other Navy personnel in 2019. The four grainy, monochromic videos, widely characterized as officially documenting UFOs, have received extensive coverage in the media since 2017. The Pentagon later addressed and officially released the first three videos of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) in 2020,[1] and confirmed the provenance of the leaked 2019 videos in two statements made in 2021.[2]
Publicity surrounding the videos has prompted a number of explanations, including drones or unidentified terrestrial aircraft, anomalous or artefactual instrument readings, physical observational phenomena (e.g., parallax), human observational and interpretive error, and, as is typical in the context of such incidents, extraordinary speculations of alien spacecraft.[3]
