A 140-page scientific report, generated by a U.S. intelligence agency, analysed multiple Tic-Tac-shaped objects above 60,000 feet, which were involved in the famous 2004 Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) encounter off the coast of California.
1 June 2025 update: _Note that the report – now released – confirms the objects were tracked at above 60,000 feet as opposed to 80,000 feet, as previously reported. However, Commander David Fravor, who engaged one of the tic tacs did state under oath at a public hearing in July 2023 that the radar controller told him tic tacs had been observed from over 80,000 feet. That radar controller, who served aboard the USS Princeton has since told DailyMail.com that groups of about 10 objects were repeatedly detected at 80,000ft. This story now reflects the fact that the report states over 60,000 whereas witnesses have described objects being tracked from 80,000 feet.
The existence of the analysis was confirmed by investigative journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell on their most recent WEAPONIZED podcast episode.
Knapp stated on the show that he sought to get the report submitted to the Congressional Record ahead of the UAP Public Hearing held in the House of Representatives on 26 July 2023.
However, due to concerns about hurting sources, Knapp refrained and chose not to proceed.
Corbell said the “detailed” scientific analysis describes “encounters of multiple craft above 80,000 feet” and from “space”.
He also confirmed that the analysis was unknown to naval aviators Commander David Fravor and Commander Chad Underwood, who encountered the unexplained Tic Tac objects of unknown origin during the 2004 incident.
During last Wednesday’s Congressional UAP Hearing Commander Fravor, who testified under oath, described seeing a 40-foot-long “Tic Tac” shaped object close to the ocean surface moving erratically like a “ping pong ball” that travelled more than 60 miles in less than a minute.
This was just one of multiple objects tracked on radar by the cruiser USS Princeton.

Speaking to Liberation Times, Jeremy Corbell commented:
‘I can affirm a few things for public record, that I am directly informed about. The TIC TAC UFOs were entering into our atmosphere from space – and showed total situational dominance.
>
‘We were (and still are) powerless, due to these vehicles advanced aerospace capabilities. These UAP were monitored flying with impunity within our military’s restricted airspace – which is now a common occurrence, with an increased frequency.
>
‘Some of the TIC TAC UFOs were “docking” (for lack of a more informed term), with a structured and maneuverable object underneath the water. This Unidentified Submerged Object (USO) was under intelligent control – and I do hope – was tracked by our classified undersea sensor systems.’
The confirmation of multiple Tic Tac objects being tracked above 60,000 feet affirms the presence of other sensor systems that also tracked unexplained objects during the incident.
Previously, the only known systems tracking the objects included naval and air assets such as those on the USS Princeton and E-2 Hawkeye planes.
At the time, the Spy-1 Radar of the USS Princeton detected what operators called “multiple anomalous aerial vehicles”, descending from 80,000 feet (the maximum tracking height) down to 20,000 feet in less than a second.
Commenting to Liberation Times, Corbell said:
‘These Advanced Aerospace Vehicles described as TIC TAC UFOs – were entering our airspace from above the scan volume of the SPY-1 Radar – at perceived ICBM trajectories.
>
‘So you can understand the initial concerns we were facing as a nation when these UAP were picked up by our North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) – and various other reconnaissance platforms.’
The newly uncovered analysis confirms that multiple sensors, possibly satellites, were tracking the objects at the time.
Liberation Times understands that other UAP incidents, up to the present day, are also captured by satellite assets, something confirmed by former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe.
In 2021, Ratcliffe told Fox News that UAP had been picked up by multiple sensors, including satellite platforms:
“There are sightings all over the world and when we talk sightings the other thing I will tell you is it is not just a pilot or just a satellite or some intelligence collection – usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things.”
In the interview, Ratcliffe also explained:
“We’re talking about objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots that have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain. \[That includes\] movements that are hard to replicate because we don’t have the technology, \[and\] that are travelling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”
Data collected from such sensors described by Ratcliffe would provide the public and Congress with more answers regarding the origin (to the extent that some UAP with extraordinary performance characteristics are tracked coming from space or Earth’s upper atmosphere) and, possibly, rule out any prosaic explanations.
So far, Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, who leads the Pentagon’s UAP Office, known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has focussed publicly on producing public analysis through video taken by pilots and naval aviators.
Confirmation from the AARO that some UAP displaying high-performance capabilities originate from space could potentially rule out any other nation on Earth. However, so far the Pentagon refuses to discuss this particular topic.
In 2022 at a UAP press event, Liberation Times asked Dr Kirkpatrick and Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie, if they had analyzed UAP reports in the space domain that they had not been able to resolve.
In response, Moultrie stated:
“Let me take that one, because I think our ability right now to resolve things in the space domain, and what we have in the space domain, is something that would fall under sensitive sources and methods and means, so would be — would prefer not to respond to that — that comment or that question, excuse me, in this forum.”
The presence of satellite and other sensor evidence within the Department of Defense (DoD), capable of providing further insights into UAP, could spark a crucial conversation about the need to confirm this evidence without compromising national security. Such transparency and honesty with both Congress and the public could be beneficial.
NASA is presently conducting an independent study on UAP, utilizing its own resources.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has recently expressed the Agency’s interest in using space sensors to investigate and understand UAP further.
Acknowledging DoD and intelligence community satellite data, which already exists, to NASA and the public, might lead to savings in taxpayer money, as it would expedite the research process.
At a time of low public trust in the U.S. government’s handling of the UAP issue, only time will tell if the Pentagon will change course and act with transparency and honesty.
And Jeremy Corbell confirmed there is a lot more data which has n
