This is based on a ridiculous amount of carefully curated searches and AI-supported analysis. All of this is from public records.

Sean Kirkpatrick, his successor, and AARO claim there is no available data on the Nimitz incident. That’s curious, because essentially the following ships were all about 100~ miles from the Tic Tac encounter:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Nimitz#Nimitz_Carrier_Strike_Group

That includes the following, plus a bunch of Arleigh Burke class destroyers:

USS Nimitz (CVN-68): Aircraft carrier serving as the flagship. USS Princeton (CG-59): Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, notable for its initial detection of the UFO. USS Louisville (SSN-724): Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered submarine. Lots and lots of aircraft. The mentioned bunch of destroyers.

Keep in mind: that is a minimum of 4-10 boats, all with advanced telemetry equipment. To keep things simple, I aggregated the data with GPT and had it run a lot of searches and queries and compared it against published material, having it double and triple check its work repeatedly. As much as when I use it to supplement professional research.

These are what AARO says does not exist. This is from JUST the USS Princeton. I didn’t even bother looking at the rest. This is shameful enough.

USS Princeton’s Radar and Telemetry Systems During the “Tic Tac” UFO Encounter.

AN/SPY-1 Radar

Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin Core Functionality: This multifunction phased-array radar system is integral to the Aegis Combat System. It scans the airspace to detect and track aircraft, missiles, and surface ships, capable of tracking hundreds of targets simultaneously. Accuracy of Answer: 95% Support: Public defense reports and Lockheed Martin’s descriptions. Published Functional Range: Over 250 miles (accuracy: 80%) Likelihood of Operation: 98% Rationale: Given its role in air and missile defense, it’s highly likely this system was operational during the “Tic Tac” UFO sighting. Evidence Accuracy: 90% Confidence in Assessment: 95%

AN/SPS-49 Air Search Radar

Manufacturer: Raytheon Core Functionality: A long-range air search radar that plays a crucial role in early warning and engagement planning by detecting airborne targets. Accuracy of Answer: 90% Support: Raytheon’s technical publications and military equipment databases. Published Functional Range: Up to 256 nautical miles (accuracy: 85%) Likelihood of Operation: 95% Rationale: Essential for maintaining airspace awareness, likely operational during the encounter. Evidence Accuracy: 85% Confidence in Assessment: 90%

AN/SPG-62 Fire Control Radar

Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin Core Functionality: Specializes in missile guidance as part of the Aegis Combat System, integral for defensive and offensive operations. Accuracy of Answer: 90% Support: Defense literature and Lockheed Martin’s product information. Published Functional Range: Not disclosed. Likelihood of Operation: 90% Rationale: Likely operational as part of the ship’s integrated defense posture. Evidence Accuracy: 80% Confidence in Assessment: 88%

All, again, from public data online via Google and GPT training. This post took me literally ten minutes to curate and research, and some more time double checking data points.

That’s without getting into the systems on the Nimitz itself. The airplanes. The other ships. Satellites. Anyone FAA watching from any of that radar. NORAD. NATO. The rest of the military and DOD. The entire Intelligence Community.

No one, at all, has any data on this that AARO can see?

OK.
