Tic Tac UFOs Throughout History
Summary: Richard Dolan takes a serious look at claims that the 2004 Tic Tac UFO was a manmade craft, possibly developed in secret by the U.S. defense industry. Dolan then reviews earlier sightings of similarly shaped craft going back decades, and raises key questions about physics, command authority, and the lack of supporting evidence for the manmade hypothesis.
