ATFLIR Video of the 2004 Nimitz Intercept: Capsule-Shaped Contact and an Unidentified Object Near the Carrier Group

In 2004 near the Nimitz, a Navy F/A-18F intercepted an unknown object and a capsule-shaped contact that couldn’t be locked or positively identified, the capsule linked to the same squadron as David Fravor (VFA-41 Black Aces), and the episode sits inside a DoD UFO-investigation context highlighted by a New York Times video that invites questions about what was really seen.
