Probed Assessment
This dossier details a 2019 UAP incident reported by the US Navy, featuring infrared footage and a debrief describing unusual flight characteristics.
Key takeaways
- The US Navy submitted a 2019 report to the AARO featuring 20 seconds of infrared video from a civilian aircraft, documenting an unidentified anomalous phenomenon.
- A Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D090, describes the phenomenon as having unprecedented flight characteristics, according to an observer with extensive military service.
- The phenomenon is characterized as small and moving at high speed in a straight line, opposite to the aircraft's direction.
Why it matters
This material is significant as it adds to the body of UAP reports involving military observations, potentially indicating phenomena with flight capabilities beyond known technology.
Corroboration
The report's claims are primarily supported by the Navy's submission and the associated debrief, but lack corroboration from independent sources or additional documents in the public domain.
Open questions
- • What additional data or analysis does the AARO have on this incident?
- • Are there other similar reports from the same time period or region?
- • What was the civilian aircraft's role and perspective in capturing the footage?
- • How does this incident compare to other UAP reports in terms of flight characteristics?
- • What follow-up actions, if any, were taken by the Navy or AARO after the report?
Probed separates this editorial assessment from the source claims below. It summarizes what the released artifact supports; it is not independent verification.
Official Description from War.gov
The United States Navy submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 20 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a civilian aircraft in 2019. 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. The area of contrast exits the sensor field-of-view to the left side of the frame. 00:15-00:20: The sensor changes settings, causing the screen to flash white. No content.
