This is identical to what Ryan Graves described in the hearing.
Thank you. I’ve been curious about crafts like that after the hearing. There’s plenty of history of spherical objects, though often appearing solid. I wonder if this could be a variant or alternate appearance of some of those reports.
There are also reports I came across in an old book describing spheres with square, Saturn-like rings around them. These were in Kanazawa, Japan - July 7, 1989 and Hawaii - January 2, 1975. Similar to the object in this post, the one in Japan was flashing red and blue. Obviously a bit different between an inner cube and an external square. But, a change in perspective could account for differences.
No problem! I’ll have to look into those reports.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. My memory might be betraying me, but I believe there was an article in the '50s describing a flying “butane tank”, which would match up with today’s description of a “Tic Tac”. I think any description must be viewed through the lens of the individual person. The time and society they live in, as well as what they are exposed to, would have a significant impact on how they perceive things.
Edit: I believe it was Lue Elizondo who mentioned the Tic Tac as being described as a flying butane tank in the 50s. I would be very interested if anyone can find any news articles or anything to back that claim up.
Along those lines, memory is fallible for events, so minor details can be expected to be incorrect or skewed. The same way witnesses to a crime could all report differences in appearance of assailants or actions that took place. Without solid photographic or video evidence, it’s worth considering that similar, but “different” objects may be the same. There are ample cylinder and egg shaped objects that behave similar to the Tic-Tac. The differences may come down to memory and the choice of words witnesses made to describe them.
Great point.
