1 On the far right upper corner you will see a breakout
2 of the morphologies of all of the UAP that are reported.
3 Over half, about 52 percent, of what has been reported to us
4 are round or spheres. The rest of those break out into all
5 kinds of different other shapes.
6 The gray box is, essentially, there is no data on what
7 its shape is. Either it was not reported or the sensor did
8 not collect it. The bottom map is a heat map of all
9 reporting areas across the globe that we have available to
10 us.
11 What you will notice is that there is a heavy what we
12 call collection bias both in altitude and in geographic
13 location. That is where all of our sensors exist. That is
14 where our training ranges are. That is where our
15 operational ranges are. That is where all of our platforms
16 are.
17 In the middle what we have done is reduce the most
18 typically reported UAP characteristics to these fields,
19 mostly round, mostly one to four meters, white, silver,
20 translucent, metallic 10,000 to 30,000 feet with apparent
21 velocities from stationary to Mach two.
22 No thermal exhausts are usually detected. We get
23 intermittent radar returns, we get intermittent radio
24 returns, and we get intermittent thermal signatures. That
25 is what we are looking for in trying to understand what that
