Disambiguation

Entity 'Pilot' is a generic descriptor in War.gov archives. Most likely refers to Retired Navy Commander David Fravor, the most prominent and publicly testified pilot in documented UAP incidents. However, could also reference Lt. Commander Alex Dietrich, Lt. Commander Chad Underwood, or other unnamed/redacted Navy aviators from USS Nimitz (2004) or USS Theodore Roosevelt (2014-2015) incidents. Without source document context, exact identification cannot be definitively confirmed; recommend cross-referencing against source_page and bbox.
