Cmdr. David Fravor Testifies on 2004 Nimitz Encounter

Retired Navy Commander David Fravor testified before the House Oversight Committee about his November 2004 encounter with a Tic Tac-shaped object off the coast of San Diego during the USS Nimitz carrier group exercises. Fravor described the object as approximately 40 feet long, white, with no wings, rotors, or visible propulsion, performing maneuvers beyond known aerospace capabilities. He stated it dropped from 80,000 feet to sea level in less than a second on radar. Fravor emphasized that as an experienced fighter pilot with over 18 years of service, the object he witnessed was not any known technology.
