Summary
Applies physics and information theory to the 2004 Nimitz Tic Tac incident. Estimates accelerations of 40-80g and power outputs exceeding any known propulsion system. Published in a peer-reviewed MDPI journal with full methodology disclosure.
Abstract
We attempt to estimate the possible flight characteristics of an anomalous aerial vehicle based on available data. We examine the well-known 2004 USS Nimitz incident, the now-famous 'Tic Tac' UAP, using all currently available sensor data. We estimate the kinematics of the UAP based on published reports of the USS Princeton radar contact and the reports of the Navy pilots who observed and recorded the UAP.
