David Fravor 20-Year Assessment: Tic Tac 'Far Superior to Anything We'll Develop in Next 10+ Years'
01 Executive_Summary
ASSESSMENT: Commander David Fravor (Ret.), the Nimitz Tic Tac pilot, stated in 2024 (20th anniversary): 'The tic tac object that we engaged in November 2004 was far superior to anything that we had at the time, have today, or are looking to develop in the next 10-plus years.' 'Next 10-plus years' from 2024 = beyond 2034. TIC TAC DETAILS: USS Princeton tracked objects for 2 weeks before intercept. Objects 'descending from space' (above 80,000 ft), hovering at 20,000 ft for hours, going back up. White oblong object, no wings/tail/exhaust. Hovering above 'churning patch of white water.' Mirrored Fravor's movements in two-circle engagement. Disappeared instantaneously. Reappeared 60 miles away at cap point. 4 observers, 2 aircraft, 5 minutes. FLIR footage: 'uniform thermal signature, no hotspots.' Object jammed radar. No investigation, no NDA. STRATTON CONNECTION: Stratton conducted first investigation (2009 AATIP). 'We talked on the phone extensively. He did a pretty good job.' CRITICAL TENSION: If Tic Tac is US plasma weapon, it wouldn't be 'far superior' to what we're developing — it would BE what we're developing. Fravor's assessment suggests Tic Tac is NOT a US program — OR it's so classified even other programs don't know (compartmentalization) — OR some UAP are extraterrestrial AND some are US plasma weapons (Knuth: 'Multiple Hypotheses'). 'Descending from space' = consistent with orbital platform. 'Jammed radar' = electronic warfare = directed energy.
