What the evidence says 01 / RECORD

Commander David Fravor testified before Congress in July 2023 about his November 2004 encounter with an unidentified object near the USS Nimitz. In that sworn testimony, as reported by NPR, Fravor said the object was seen with "four sets of eyes" total, meaning himself and three other service members, not himself plus four other pilots as Corbell's claim implies (which would put the total at five witnesses). NPR's account does not specify the duration of the sighting or break down how many of the four witnesses were pilots versus other crew, so those particulars cannot be confirmed or refuted from this source alone.
