Misrep undefined-7528881
Reconnaissance mission from 196 ATKS. Aircraft collected SIGINT via Airhandler and supported OP Phantom Flex.
Analysis
Two sightings, nine hours apart, with wildly different speed profiles. The first at 1354Z: a single object at 16,000-17,000 feet cruising at a steady 40 knots. The second at 2243Z: a pair of objects doing 278 knots that accelerated and banked south. The seven-fold speed difference suggests two entirely different types of object. Most pages fully redacted under 1.4(a).
Key Findings
- First UAP observed at FL160-170 (approximately 16,000-17,000 feet) traveling at 40 knots with constant speed
- Second observation involved two possible UAPs at estimated 278 knots
- Second pair of UAPs demonstrated maneuverability by increasing speed and changing direction south
- Significant velocity disparity between the two sightings (40 knots vs. 278 knots) suggests different object types
