One of the world’s most infamous UFO incidents occurred in 2004 off the coast of California, but, 16 years later, the story is still evolving.
The incident was a terrifying one, with Navy pilots in our nation’s most advanced fighter jets being completely outmaneuvered by something out over the open ocean. The event lasted for days and, after video taken from the planes’ onboard systems were leaked, the Pentagon openly admitted that they had no idea what was going on.
Now, one of the pilots who has been quite vocal about his experience with the unidentified objects is admitting that whatever it was committed “acts of war” against the American military.
Commander David Fravor witnessed the Tic Tac-shaped object perform extraordinary aerial maneuvers that no known human technology is capable of in November 2004. The former US Navy pilot said the UFO was unlike anything else he ever encountered.
Commander Fravor was dispatched to investigate the area after radar anomalies were detected. He was followed by other pilots who successfully recorded footage of the strange phenomena. The video was leaked in 2017 before being declassified by the Pentagon earlier this year.
After landing, Fravor mentioned the UFO to a colleague, Chad Underwood, who successfully located the unidentified phenomena only for it to jam his radar. “He’s telling the radar, ‘Stare down the line of sight, whatever is there I want you to grab it and build a trace file on it,’ which will tell you where it is, how fast it is and the direction that it’s going,” Fravor explained to Fridman.
“The radar is smart enough that when the signal comes back if it’s been messed with, it will tell you – it will give you indications that it’s being jammed …. It’s being jammed into about every mode you can see … You can tell it’s being jammed,” he added.
And then came the weighty admission.
“When you actively jam another platform, that’s technically an act of war.”
Fravor’s experience is undoubtedly one of the most compelling UFO incidents of all time, and has prompted the Pentagon to disclose the formation of a task force designed to study the phenomenon – one of the first times that such an admission has been made by the government.
