The story behind the "Tic Tac" UFO sighting by Navy pilots in 2004
CBSN
During a Wednesday hearing before House lawmakers on unidentified anomalous phenomena, also known as UFOs, a retired Navy fighter pilot testified about his experience seeing what he described as a "Tic Tac-looking object" while on a flight back in 2004.
Retired Navy Cmdr. David Fravor was commander of the F/A-18F squadron on the USS Nimitz when he says he spotted the object during a flight off the coast of Southern California on Nov. 14, 2004.
In a 2021 interview with "60 Minutes," Fravor, a graduate of the Top Gun naval flight school, also spoke about what he saw.
