Awesome! I still feel like there might be some good information that's not public. One version of the story talks about Fravor having "gun tape footage", what happened with that? Why did Fravor say that on some footage, you can see it dropping things from the bottom? What was he talking about? Also, the way people retell the story, it seems obvious that there exists audio recordings of everyone involved in the incident. Even if we don't get to hear it, I want to know what evidence exists. There are parts that will definitely be redacted. We've seen the "cover sheet" of the investigation, and we know from different retellings of the story that there's a good bit about the F/A-18's attempting to target and get a lock on the UAP but experiencing an advanced form of radar jamming. The US does not want any public information about how their radar systems work and what kind of jamming works or doesn't work.
In the explosion of media interest that followed the Pentagon's release of the Tic Tac video along with recordings of two other encounters, Commander Fravor expressed the opinion that the technology was far more advanced than anything known on earth.
But in the months since the release, the Pentagon has clammed up. It has declined to release official documents about the Nimitz Tic Tac encounter, or similar incidents.
Until last year, Elizondo ran AATIP, a secret Pentagon assignment that quietly evaluated UFO incident reports. He chafes at the armchair experts who claim the Tic Tac was a balloon or bird, a mistake by the pilots or a technical glitch.
"Let the data speak for itself," he said. "Let the information we receive from electro optical data; electro mechanical mechanisms be the tool in which we look and compare what the eyewitness testimony is saying."
Elizondo is not authorized to release such information, but the I-Team obtained some of it anyway. Earlier this year, we made a whirlwind trip to Washington for a debriefing arranged by former Senator Harry Reid. While in D.C., the I-Team obtained copies of unclassified documents related to the UFO encounters, including the Tic Tac. The analysis was compiled in 2009 with input from multiple agencies. It confirms the Nimitz group had several interactions with AAV's, Anomalous Aerial Vehicles.
Among the key findings in the report --the AAV is not something that belongs to the U.S. or any other nation. It was so advanced, it rendered U.S. capabilities ineffective. It showed velocities far greater than anything known to exist, and it could turn itself invisible, both to radar and the human eye.Essentially, it was undetectable, and unchallenged.
a more comprehensive assessment was compiled but was never made public and has been seen by few, even inside the Pentagon.
The analysis report is not dated and has no logo, but four separate people who are familiar with its contents confirmed to the I-Team it is the real deal and was written as part of a Pentagon program. Another highly classified version was also written but is unlikely to ever be released.

Too early to say, since this news report aired yesterday. However, Senator Harry Reid arranged the debriefing and evidently knew of this report. Knapp acknowledges two things:
One:

Two:

But now, the I-Team has obtained an in-depth report prepared by and for the military, and it analyzes the so-called Tic Tac UFO using the most sophisticated sensor systems in the world.
The name isnt blacked out, all the other names are for some reason (well, not the carrier strike group commander but that would be easy enough to find out since the strike group is named).
You would think that's odd but I guess not. His copilot was important enough to black out but not the pilot.

It could turn out to be nothing more than secret experimental new inventions/programs of the US which were need to know back in the day.
ETA The name CDR David "Sex" Fravor seems odd too. Or is that just me? Sex? Really?
