DOW-UAP-D089, Range Fouler Debrief, Eastern United States, 2020
This file is a Range Fouler Debrief, a standardized U.S. Navy reporting form used to record the circumstances of an unauthorized intrusion into controlled airspace during active military operations or training. Per the releasing agency, the report accompanies the video titled 'DOW-UAP-PR106' and records a military operator's narrative account of observing an object over the Eastern United States in 2020. The operator described the object as 'quite small,' 'continu[ing] in a constant direction,' with an 'indistinguishable' shape, a metallic appearance, and a reflective underside. The form instructs personnel to sanitize all identifying aircrew and squadron information, to save display tapes for the entire interaction period as .wmv files, and to upload them to a designated repository. The agency notes that all descriptive and estimative language reflects the reporter's subjective interpretation at the time and should not be taken as conclusive evidence of any object's features or performance characteristics. The document is marked as redacted.
