The report
In November 2004, U.S. Navy pilots from the USS Nimitz encountered a UFO while conducting training exercises off the coast of San Diego. The object, which was initially detected by radar, was described as a tic-tac-shaped craft that performed maneuvers beyond the capabilities of any known aircraft. The encounter was captured on video and later released by the U.S. Department of Defense. This incident is one of the most well-known and documented UFO encounters involving military personnel.
