Misrep 4472514
AREC mission from 482ATKS. Observed 3x unidentified aerial phenomena at 1830Z, 1920Z, and 2345Z.
Analysis
Two days after D33's 90-degree-turning contact, the same squadron saw another circular object skimming the ocean surface in the same grid area. This one flew straight toward land at 30 MPH -- far slower, no turns -- and vanished from the feed almost immediately. October 29, 2023, at 0811Z. Same description as before: circular, too small for details, no signatures. The aircraft was armed with Hellfire missiles but made no attempt to engage.
Key Findings
- UAP described as "seemingly circular, too small to make out details"
- Object flying just above the ocean surface, heading straight towards land
- Estimated speed: 30 MPH (significantly slower than D33 observation two days earlier)
- UAP showed no maneuverability observations and no response to observer actions
- No signatures detected; propulsion unknown; assessed as benign
- Aircraft armed with 2x AGM-114R9E and 2x AGM-114R2 Hellfire missiles
- Total mission time: 20 hours 1 minute; target development conducted on multiple COIs
- Pattern of life surveillance operations in the same 36S YC grid area as D33
