Tic Tac
Class II
Preliminary Classification
Description
Cylindrical UAP that hovers. Elongates during stable flight and has an area effect on electronics and aircraft. Seen in groups of 1 to 3. Observed with the Manta Ray in proximity.
Visual Profile
Bright white cylindrical craft that shifts shape during flight. Observed to elongate horizontally and shift color from white to purple to pink during transitions. Easily observable on IR.
Size
9 - 12 meters
Flight Behavior
Capable of vertical hovering with oscillation, rapid descent from high altitudes, assessed as 60,000+ feet and Mach 1.5+, and abrupt arrest of motion mid-air. Frequently tumbles while descending and then stabilizes before resuming flight. Uses terrain masking and performs independent, unsynchronized maneuvers in proximity to other craft.

The classification system presented below is a living taxonomy—subject to ongoing revision as new data is captured and analyzed by the Skywatcher team. The hypotheses associated with each class are exploratory in nature and should not be interpreted as conclusive scientific fact. This framework is intended to provide a foundational structure for the collection, analysis, and categorization of UAP data across multiple sensor domains.
Characteristics
Seen in groups of 1 to 3. Displays highly dynamic shape-shifting and color variation correlated with flight phases. Observed to operate in vicinity of Manta Ray class UAPs.

Interactions
Helicopter aircrew reported physiological effects (nausea, disorientation) during proximity exposure. One successful LRF return; no radar acquisition. Noted instances of nearby aircraft becoming briefly immobilized (“frozen”).

Sensor Signature
Strong IR visibility with heat signature detected. No vapor trails, off-gassing, or observable propulsion methods. Evades primary sensors using terrain masking and altitude variation.
