◆ CASE FILEThe facts, corroborated
The Coast Guard's Tic Tac Clips
Two short infrared clips found on a classified network carry an unknown uploader's titles, "USCG C-144 Tyndall UAP 1 TIC TAC IR hot 24 April 2024" and its twin, "UAP 2". AARO assesses them as likely filmed from a US Coast Guard aircraft over the southeastern United States in 2024 and describes a sensor that could not hold what it was chasing. This is the record of what the clips and their titles claim, not a verdict on what was in the frame.
◆ THE SHORT VERSION
- The Coast Guard's Tic Tac Clips is a reported UAP case in the USA, 24 April 2024.
- Two infrared clips found on a classified network carry an uploader's titles calling the object a "TIC TAC" that was "IR hot", with a Coast Guard C-144, Tyndall and 24 April 2024 in the names.
- In one clip, AARO says, the sensor pans left "but is unable to track the area of contrast."
- AARO confirms only that the clips are likely from a US Coast Guard aircraft over the southeastern US in 2024; the aircraft type, place, date and "Tic Tac" come from the file titles.
- Many of the materials in this collection "lack a substantiated chain-of-custody", AARO warns.
