Source: DOW-UAP-D38, Range Fouler Debrief, Middle East, May 2020
During an ISR mission in the Middle East, a crew observed a solid white object that flew through their sensor field of view, exhibited erratic movements above water, and was intermittently tracked before being lost due to poor track placement.
“While preforming an ISR tasking (ULTN/Black Hot/Lin), a solid white object flew through the FOV. There was a temporarily lose of the object but re-acquired shortly there after. The crew was able to follow the object as it appeared to make erratic moments above the water.”
