During the operation, we were interrupted by a shipborne controller. Their tone was urgent and their requests were a bit unusual. They said that they were going to suspend training and that what they needed us to do was not an exercise, but a 'real world' intercept, or real world tasking. I didn't have much experience so I thought that perhaps this was a drug run coming off the coast of Mexico and I thought, "Wow! That might be cool!"
Upon arrival at our target point, located just thirty miles off the coast and seventy miles south of the United States and Mexico border, not too far from Ensanada, my heart sank. I could see that there was a churning in the water below my aircraft. I went from being very giddy and excited to thinking that we were now 'on scene' Commanders of a wreck. Somebody has crashed and this aircraft is sinking.
Suddenly, we all saw something a craft over the water! We were all clammering to get on the radio. Do you see in the water... ? What the ... is that? No one knew what it was. There were no flight surfaces. Smooth and white with no wings, in-takes, or smoke trails. It looked like a thirty to forty foot "tic-tac"!
As we watched, it was so unnerving because it was so unpredictable. We observed high gravity with rapid velocity and rapid acceleration. We were wondering how we could possibly fight this as we had no ordinance on board. Unless one us rammed this thing, which was impossible due to the way this thing was manuevering, we had no way to defend ourselves, or if neccessary, bring it down. So, I stayed in high cover and watched it from above while my Commander flew straight at it.
Retired U.S. Commander David Fravor was my Commander that day over the Pacific. He had a fighter instinct so his reaction was not surprising. But, this object seemed to recognize what was happening and it reponded with a very irratic maneuver where it rapidly accelerated and was out of site!
Onboard, the Aegis Spy-1 Radar System, which is powerful enough to track an object as small as a baseball at eighty thousand feet, indicated that the craft, whatever it was, accelerated to over thirty-seven hundred miles per hour and stopped sixty miles away in under a minute, further out to sea and at the Commander's CAP point! How it knew the Commander's CAP point is still matter of mystery. Wingman Pilot, Anonymous

I was the first to observe the "tic tac" shaped objects report here in this database with the incident dated 11/14/2004 (See that story on this page of our site in the above text). The full story actually started four days earlier when on the evening of the 10th of November.
That evening, I started seeing all of these contacts popping up on my radar that had no identifying characteristics, or recognizable air signature of any kind. The were dropping down from the upper atomosphere above Catalina Island just off the coast of California and they were doing so in an organized formation, leveling off at around twenty-eight thousand feet. They were tracking south from Catlina Island in the direction of our Carrier Group which was stationed one hundred and eighty miles southwest of San Diego off the coast of Baja California, Mexico.
At first there were only ten to twelve of them, but I continued to watch as what appeared to be well over one hundred contacts moved slowly, like snow falling from the sky, across my radar screen. Moving at only one hundred knots, or one hundred and fifteen miles per hour, the objects maintained the same relative position from one another as they moved together in a uniform formation.
I knew that this was too slow to be any type of known aircraft as it would have simply fallen out of the sky. They were moving too slowly to main lift at that altitude. But, the radar doesn't lie and here was an entire fleet of UFOs moving unimpeded through the U.S. Navy's exercise Whiskey 291 AOR Warning Area off the west coast. I told my Commanding Officer that I thought we should intercept these things and I pulled up one of the on the large display.
At that point, the object dropped twenty-eight thousand feet, down to the surface of the ocean, in less than one second! By my calculations, the object was moving at around twenty-four thousand miles per hour! That's over thirty times the speed of sound!!
Four days later, on November the 14th, we decided to intercept one of these objects and we just happened to grab Commander Fravor's flight as it was scheduled to leave at that time for training. The rest of the story is detailed and filed under that date.
To this, I must add that there were multiple intercepts attempted with these objects, all of which failed as the objects would drop down to sea level, or raise back up to twenty-eight thousand feet. It was as if they simply did not want to be bothered. However, these objects were going somewhere and dropped off the radar at around one hundred and sixty-three miles south of U.S. Mexico Border and one hundred and seventy-five miles off the coast of Baja near Guadalupe Island.
As an update to this report, as of 2016, several eyewitness accounts by local fisherman have revealed credit accounts of USOs, or unidentified submersible objects, sometimes refered to as 'trans-medium' objects which can travel through air, space, and water. Often described as silver sphere-like objects, these USOs have been witnessed to rise up from the depths of the ocean emitting blue light and then rising out of the water, hovering, shooting off into space, or plunging back into the depths of the sea around the island of Guadalupe, and elsewhere.
