In September, the US Navy confirmed that three videos possibly showing "Tic-Tac"-shaped UFOs were of an "unauthorised and unidentified" nature. This has encouraged a new wave of revelations from naval officers who were involved in the matter. Former Navy officer Ryan Weigelt, who was on board the USS Princeton when fighter pilots famously encountered a "Tic Tac"-shaped UFO near the coast of San Diego in 2004, has opened up about a group of mysterious officials boarding the ship to retrieve some secret information following the incident. On 14 November 2004, US fighter pilots of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group encountered an unidentified flying "Tic Tac"-shaped object that was filmed and revealed to the public in 2017 under the title "FLIR1". The footage was released alongside two other videos titled "Gimbal" and "GoFast", which were captured in January 2015. All three videos were acquired by former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo and released by To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science
