Fravor admitted to UFO pranks in the 90s (gliding over camp fires and then turning on afterburners). Some were found reported on UFO forums at the time.

I would not say he admitted it. More like told it as a funny anecdote in juxtaposition to what he experienced.

People went back and found UFO reports on 90s forums for the location he said he did it.
