U.S. Department of War · 2019 · 2 pages · text from the file's own layer

This U.S. Department of War release, dated 2019, is a Range Fouler Reporting Form used by military aircrew to report unidentified contacts. Its fields cover position, altitude, shape and appearance, and it asks that sensor video be saved. In the completed narrative, a crew member with 28 years of flying for the USAF and Navy describes a small object passing below the aircraft at high speed in the opposite direction. The object was recorded briefly, then left the field of view, and later analysis suggested it was rectangular.

From the source: Release of 2026-07-10 Incident: 2019, Eastern United States. Released with redactions. This document is a Range Fouler Debrief, a standardized reporting form the U.S. Navy uses to record the circumstances surrounding an unauthorized intrusion into controlled airspace during active military operations or training. These reports contain a narrative description of the observer’s experiences. This report accompanies the video titled “DOW-UAP-PR112.” Five U.S. military-affiliated personnel reported observing an object “with flight characteristics unlike anything [the observer] had seen in 28 years [of service] for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. The report characterizes the phenomenon as “small” and “travelling in a straight line opposite [the platform’s] direction at high speed.” The reporter added that, “others with equal or more experience were also unsure as to what the object might be.” All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.

An accompanying Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D090, describes the phenomenon as exhibiting “flight characteristics unlike anything [the observer] had seen in 28 years [of service] for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. The report characterizes the phenomenon as “small” and “travelling in a straight line [in the] opposite direction at high speed.” Video Description: 00:01-00:011: An area of contrast is visible near the center of the screen. 00:12-00:014: The sensor changes its level of zoom and display mode, flashing white before returning to normal function.
