SCU forensic paper documents details not in any public FOIA release. When Fravor arrived at the intercept point, he and all four pilots saw a 50-100 meter circular “white water” disturbance on the calm ocean. Fravor estimated a 737-sized object (~120ft) approximately 10-15 feet below the surface causing the disturbance. Petty Officer Gary Voorhis confirmed via the Aegis CEC system: an underwater object was tracked at 500 KNOTS — impossible for any known submarine (max ~40 knots). The aerial Tic Tac hovered directly above this submerged object. When Fravor descended to engage, the craft MIRRORED his circular movements from the opposite position — maintaining exact relative spacing as he descended. When Fravor attempted an intercept cut, it instantly departed south. Princeton then contacted Fravor: the Tic Tac had reappeared at his pre-briefed secret CAP coordinates — an exact classified latitude, longitude, and altitude — 60 nautical miles away, in “a couple of minutes or less.” Kevin Day: “They shouldn’t have known where it was. How the hell did it know where the CAP station was? It was right on it. On that point in space.” The water disturbance had also vanished when Fravor returned five minutes later. EXECUTIVE REPORT INTELLIGENCE (classified source): The USS Louisville (SSN-724) nuclear attack submarine was operating in the CSG during this period. The Louisville’s commanding officer confirmed ZERO unusual sonar contacts at any time during operations off the California coast — the AAV left no acoustic signature detectable by a Los Angeles-class nuclear sub. If it operated subsurface, it did so completely undetectable by the most advanced undersea sensors in the US Navy. Princeton’s SPY-1 radar was configured for conventional air intercept mode — which caused it to DROP the AAV contact as clutter. The senior Fire Control officer stated that if the radar had been in BALLISTIC MISSILE TRACKING MODE, it likely could have maintained track. The object exhibited “Ballistic Missile Characteristics” in velocity, appearance, and radar returns. MISREP STATUS: The incident report was submitted via email to 3rd Fleet N2 (CAPT, redacted), acknowledged, but NOT forwarded up the chain and likely DELETED — “there is no requirement to keep these reports.” The primary evidence trail was deliberately not preserved. CDR Fravor was NOT asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement. CHAD UNDERWOOD NAMED (Wikipedia): Lt. Cmdr. Chad Underwood was the weapons systems officer in the second wave who actually recorded the FLIR video. He coined the term “Tic Tac” — the name was partially inspired by a joke in the 1980 comedy Airplane!. Underwood never saw the object with his own eyes — only on the FLIR display. FLIR VIDEO LEAK: A crew member posted FLIR1 online in 2007. The Navy discovered it in 2009 but decided not to pursue it due to time elapsed and the ~5,000-person crew size. CHRISTOPHER MELLON (fmr Deputy Asst Sec of Defense for Intelligence) personally provided all three videos (FLIR, GIMBAL, GOFAST) to the press — published by NYT and WashPost December 16, 2017. Pentagon officially released all three on April 27, 2020.
