"Atmospheric Wakes" UAP Case: Case Two Sensor Artifact

This image is part of the U.S. All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) 'Atmospheric Wakes' UAP case resolution material, published under AARO's UAP Case Resolution Reports. The image is captioned '"Atmospheric Wakes" Case Two: Sensor Artifact Trailing the Aircraft.' According to the AARO source page, the underlying reports were submitted after three different missions in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea during 2022 and 2023. The reports were filed because of the potential hazard posed to the missions and because the videos depicted what was described as a potentially anomalous propulsion signature. The case-two resolution shown here attributes the observed phenomenon to a sensor artifact trailing the aircraft rather than an anomalous object. Associated materials referenced on the page include the Atmospheric Wake Case Resolution Report and two South Asian Object videos.
