BAASS’s November 2010 capabilities report describes its DIA-funded personnel, sensors, Project Capella databases and engineering software. It revisits the 2004 Nimitz encounter and demonstrates fluid-flow, underwater-acoustic and radar-cross-section models. The calculations depend on assumed conditions and limited testimony; they do not measure an unknown vehicle’s propulsion or establish the report’s speculative cloaking and undersea interpretations.

USS Princeton (CG-59) is a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser of the United States Navy, built around the Aegis combat system and its AN/SPY-1 phased-array radar. Ordered in 1983 and built by Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi, she was launched on October 2, 1987, and commissioned on February 11, 1989, as the first ship of her class to carry the upgraded SPY-1B radar. She was first homeported at Long Beach, California, and moved to San Diego after the Long Beach base closed. By 2026 she was the oldest Ticonderoga-class cruiser still in commission.
Princeton saw combat early in her career. On February 18, 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, two mines exploded beneath her in the Persian Gulf, damaging her hull, rudder and shaft and injuring three sailors; she was led out of the minefield, repaired in the Gulf and returned home eight weeks later. In September 2010, operating against piracy in the Gulf of Aden, she took part in the rescue of hostages aboard the hijacked cargo ship Magellan Star.
In November 2004 Princeton was training with the Nimitz carrier strike group off Southern California and Baja California ahead of deployment, and her radar operators are at the center of the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac encounter. In his written statement to the House Oversight Committee in July 2023, retired Commander David Fravor said his flight of two F/A-18Fs was being controlled by Princeton, whose controller told the pilots that the ship had been watching such objects on its Aegis system for two weeks as they dropped from above 80,000 feet to about 20,000 feet. After the object vanished in front of his jet, Fravor said, it reappeared on Princeton's SPY-1 radar at the flight's planned holding point, about 60 miles away.
Several of the cruiser's crew have since described the episode in public. Senior Chief Operations Specialist Kevin Day has described tracking the contacts and helping direct the intercept, and the radar technician Gary Voorhis said in 2019 that the object might be extremely advanced technology that the United States had reverse-engineered or developed itself. Other crew members interviewed by the filmmaker David Beaty, including a cryptologic technician who served in the ship's signals-intelligence space, have described unknown tracks, emails and a rewritten logbook. In April 2026 the former Pentagon official Christopher Mellon said his interviews with Princeton's radar operators and technicians, and with the aircrews, were fully consistent with one another and with the sensor data. The cruiser's raw radar data from those days has not been made public, leaving Princeton's own records the missing piece of the case.
Do I recommend @jaystratton's book? That's a huge, yes! I'm about 25% through. A few "issues" I have.... Lue is barely mentioned. Three times? The applicati [Quoted] Is there a 7-10 minute video of the Tic Tac? IMO, this LAP (Long-Ass Post) is worth your time. Took several hours. I'm tired! :-) "There is a chance that [the Tic Tac] is extremely advanced technology that either we reverse engineered or just actually came up with ourselves.” ~USS Princeton Witness - Gary Voorhis - 2019 (Unless y...

The Tic Tac Joint Human–NHI Technology Hypothesis: Lockheed, NHI-derived technology, spacetime engineering, and the missing power source I’ve been going through statements from David Fravor, Eric Davis, Hal Puthoff, Ross Coulthart and researchers including UAP Gerb, Polarity and Psicoactivo. I think there is an interesting hypothesis worth investigating: The 2004 Nimitz Tic Tac may have been a human-engineered vehicle incorporating technology or components ultimately derived from NHI technolo...

For a long time, the subject of UFOs seemed to belong to another era. It was there, of course. People continued seeing unusual things in the sky. Witnesses continued telling their stories. Governments occasionally investigated reports. Scientists occasionally discussed the possibility of life elsewhere. But for much of the late twentieth century, the subject seemed to have settled into a strange place somewhere between curiosity and ridicule. Project Blue Book had ended. Official investigatio...

https://t.co/tRJ0A6cgoO https://t.co/imjVeXgnFD [Quoted] @ddeanjohnson @I_D_Official That was an anti BMD radar specialist on the USS Princeton. A Senior Chief who gave statements to Jay Stratton as part of his Nimitz executive summary. He’s never come forward

Retired U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor was the commanding officer of Strike Fighter Squadron 41, the “Black Aces,” aboard the USS Nimitz in November 2004. During a training mission off Southern California, Fravor and 3 other aviators were redirected by the USS Princeton to investigate an unusual radar contact. He described chasing a small, white, wingless “Tic Tac”-shaped object maneuvering abruptly over disturbed water before accelerating away. Pilots saw the object for 5 minutes and 3 rad...

I am continually impressed by the work put into analyzing the Gimbal video. https://t.co/rFvTkc31vy [Quoted] This meticulous analysis corresponds with what I learned interviewing the Navy pilots and weapons systems officers in the F-18s that intercepted the Tic Tac, as well as the radar operators and technicians aboard the USS Princeton. All of the testimonials from the Navy personnel
