This is a case resolution from the Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), dated 17 March 2023, for the "Southeast Asia Triangles" case. Satellite imagery from 30 August 2017 showed six dark triangles in formation, and they were flagged as possibly anomalous and a possible risk to navigation. AARO's intelligence and science and technology partners compared the image with other imagery. They concluded that the objects were almost certainly static, cone-shaped fishing nets floating on the ocean, each about 11m by 7m.
