"It was just behaving in ways that aren't physically normal. That's what caught my eye. Because, aircraft, whether they're manned or unmanned, still have to obey the laws of physics. They have to have some source of lift, some source of propulsion. The tic tac was not doing that."
And he added: "You're up there flying, like, 'Okay. It's not behaving in a manner that's predictable or is normal by how flying objects physically move'."
The sighting came during a fortnight in which the USS Princeton had noted unknown aircraft intermittently passing across its radar systems off the US west coast. The contact was considered so inexplicable that the system was shut down and restarted to check for bugs — but operators continued to track the mysterious object afterwards.

UFO sightings: U.S. Navy drafts guidelines to report - The Washington Post
A recent uptick in sightings of unidentified flying objects — or as the military calls them, "unexplained aerial phenomena" — prompted the Navy to draft formal procedures for pilots to document encounters, a corrective measure that former officials say is long overdue.
As first reported by POLITICO , these intrusions have been happening on a regular basis since 2014. Recently, unidentified aircraft have entered military-designated airspace as often as multiple times per month, Joseph Gradisher, spokesman for office of the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, told The Washington Post on Wednesday.
U.S. Navy Wants Pilots to Report UFOs, Despite Stigma - The Atlantic
Pilots are about to receive a new memo from management: If you encounter an unidentified flying object while on the job, please tell us.
In some cases, pilots—many of whom are engineers and academy graduates—claimed to observe small spherical objects flying in formation. Others say they've seen white, Tic Tac–shaped vehicles. Aside from drones, all engines rely on burning fuel to generate power, but these vehicles all had no air intake, no wind and no exhaust.

Mysterious case of the vanishing UFOs | Comment | The Times
Port Talbot is inundated with UFOs. The Welsh steel town is a magnet for alien spacecraft. The place is positively awash with flying saucers. This is according to the actor Michael Sheen, who claims to have had a close encounter with a formation of alien lights on his way home from school in the 1970s. The lady next door apparently spotted a flying saucer hovering over the garden. Sheen's dad also saw a UFO, on New Year's Eve, sober.
History's Most Infamous UFO Sightings of the Modern Era - HISTORY
UFOs aren’t new. Indeed, humans have been describing unidentified flying objects for millennia, with depictions of disk-like objects and unusual atmospheric objects found in the art and literature of ancient civilizations from the Sumerians and the Egyptians to the Greeks and Romans.
But the modern era of UFOs took off in the middle of the 20th century, right around the time rockets and high-tech aircraft were being devised, often in secret. Coincidence? Paranoia? Perhaps. In any event, these seven UFO sightings gained a lot of attention—and raised a lot of eyebrows.
