Welcome to the first B-side episode of The Red Shed Tapes! In these episodes we play recordings and interviews from our archives… In this episode you’ll hear Top Gun pilot David Fravor’s play-by-play of his close encounter with the “Tic Tac” UFO, made famous by The New York Times. Commander Fravor spoke at McMenamins UFO Fest 2019 in what he called, “probably my first and last public appearance.” We’re playing this rare presentation in its entirety – prepare to be amazed.
