What the document says
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.

I, 2 other
In between mission sorties, I noticed an object with flight
characteristics unlike anything I had seen in my 28 years of performing
for the USAF and
Navy. A small object was below us and appeared to be traveling in a straight line opposite our direction
at high speed. I tracked it for ~10-15 seconds before we turned on the recorder to provide the attached
video. When I zoomed in to try and achieve more resolution, the object's speed took out of my FOV and
I was unable to reacquire, even at a lower zoom. Upon analysis after the flight, the object appeared to
be rectangular. Others with equal or more experience were also unsure as to what this object might be.
