Popular Mechanics har två ganska fullödiga artiklar om ämnet, den ena är en vittnesgenomgång och i den andra försöker de reda ut turerna med det läckta videoklippet. Det finns helt klart en motsättning mellan Fravor på den ena sidan och flertalet vittnen på den andra angående längden på orginalklippet.

A video playing on one of the console monitors immediately caught Turner’s eye. In it, the “Tic Tac” performed a number of seemingly impossible maneuvers, not seen in the brief clip released in 2017.

According to Weigelt, a video of an F/A-18 trying its best to catch the elusive “Tic Tac” was playing on the monitors. Like Turner, Weigelt says what he saw was a lot longer than the brief clip released in 2017.

Voorhis tells Popular Mechanics that he, too, saw a much longer and clearer version of the ATFLIR video through the ship’s Top Secret LAN network. “I definitely saw video that was roughly 8 to 10 minutes long and a lot more clear,” Voorhis says.

I artikeln om själva läckan kan man läsa att även piloten som filmade farkosten menar att orginalfilmen var längre.
Citat:
In December 2019, Chad Underwood, the former F/A-18 pilot who originally filmed the UFO encounter, told New York magazine that Flir1 is indeed a “little video cut” of his original recording.
Detta kan ju vara en lek med ord också, att Fravor och DoD påstår att någon längre video inte existerar behöver ju inte betyda att den inte
har existerat. Flottan tillstår att det finns mer material kring händelsen men att det allvarligt skulle skada nationens säkerhet att offentliggöra detta.
Citat:
The Navy’s Office of Naval Intelligence, meanwhile, responded to a recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for more Nimitz records by saying it had discovered “certain briefing slides” related to the encounter “that are classified TOP SECRET.” The Navy has determined that “the release of these materials would cause exceptionally grave damage to the National Security of the United States.”
