'Advanced technology' Scientist calculates how fast UFOs filmed by US Navy really are
But Tic Tac is not the only UFO that has defied all conventions - it is one of many objects reported and recorded over the years.
To better understand just how truly incredible these objects are, a team of scientists has devised a tool calculating their speeds.

The so-called UFO Travel Calculator calculates UFO speeds by applying engineering and aeronautical principles to what very well may be "advanced technology".
Hosted on the Omni Calculator Project, creator and mechanical engineer Rahul Singh Dhari told Express.co.uk many of these UFOs' characteristics could not be replicated by our modern-day technology.
This does not mean the UFOs are alien; after all the Pentagon's report found at least one sighting could be explained by a balloon.
However, Mr Dhari thinks UFOs can be taken much more seriously if we look at them through the lens of science and engineering.
He said: "This calculator considers the UFOs as flying objects of some advanced technology and takes it on from a design engineering perspective.''

"Like with our modern aircraft, I have tried to design them from essential variables - like wing loading and thrust to weight ratio.''
"Based on those parameters and certain assumptions, we can try to estimate their speeds."
You can visit the UFO Travel Calculator here, to see for yourself how fast these objects travel.
Using the tool, you can pit one of many known UFO types against conventional propulsion systems like the RD-0146 rocket engine.
The flying saucer-shaped Tic Tac, for instance, is estimated to weigh more than 47,000 pounds (21,320kg) with a span of 44.6ft (13.6m).
Armed with a single engine of unknown origin, the spacecraft could hit speeds of more than 11,800mph.
At such speeds, a journey between London and San Francisco - 5,351 miles - would only last 27 minutes.
