Making These UFO short films is expensive, and so you can now support our efforts on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/GalacticOrigin Your help would be greatly appreciated. We have many more short films planned, the goal is to capture all famous UFO cases in a cinematic short film format. --- In November 2004, the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group tracked an anomalous craft off the coast of Southern California that defied every known law of aerodynamics. But the story didn’t end with the FLIR recording—it began the moment the data was systematically erased. A cinematic short film by *Galactic Origin* depicting the 2004 USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" incident, the visual intercepts of naval aviators, and the coordinated post-encounter data purge that left an unexplained six-day void in official U.S. Navy records. --- ### The Story On November 14, 2004, fighter pilots from VFA-41 "Black Aces" intercepted a 40-foot, matte-white, wingless craft hovering over turbulent ocean waters. It mirrored maneuvers instantly, accelerated to hypersonic velocities without heat signature or sonic boom, and jammed active fire control radars. While Commander David Fravor later testified under oath before Congress regarding the encounter, a parallel operation unfolded beneath the flight decks of the strike group: * *Petty Officer P.J. Hughes (USS Nimitz):* Ordered to surrender classified E-2C Hawkeye data drives to anonymous personnel arriving by helicopter. * *Petty Officer Gary Voorhis (USS Princeton):* Ordered to zero out active combat system memory and surrender raw AN/SPY-1 radar track tapes and optical discs. * *Petty Officer Ryan Weigelt (USS Princeton):* Witnessed the arrival of unmarked command personnel and the seizure of squadron aviation records. * *Petty Officer Jason Turner (USS Nimitz):* Viewed an uncompressed, high-definition version of the FLIR tape in secure spaces before the media was permanently locked down. Freedom of Information Act inquiries later confirmed that while the carrier USS Nimitz deck logs remain preserved, the official deck logs for the guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton covering November 10–16, 2004, are completely missing from the National Archives. The Department of Defense has never explained why the logs of a guided-missile cruiser vanished during a multi-billion-dollar fleet exercise. --- ### Scenes & Chapters * 00:00 – The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group Approaches * 00:50 – Anomalous Radar Tracks at 80,000 Feet * 02:38 – The Black Aces Launch * 05:12 – The Tic Tac Encounter * 08:23 – Back on the USS Nimitz * 09:23 – Chad Underwood Records the FLIR Video * 11:33 – The Coverup Begins * 12:24 – Watching of the FLIR Video & Making Copies * 14:03 – The Coverup Continues * 15:33 – Outro --- ### Production & Credits * *Written and Produced by:* Galactic Origin * *Format:* Cinematic Short Film / Docu-Thriller * *Visual & Audio Design:* Seedance 2.5, Grok Imagine, WAN 3.0, Elevenlabs If you enjoyed this film, subscribe to **Galactic Origin* for more cinematic deep-dives and short films exploring anomalous history, aerospace mysteries, and declassified files.* #GalacticOrigin #TicTac #USSNimitz #ShortFilm #UAP #DavidFravor #USNavy #SciFi
