At 2:41 AM, a US Air Force aircraft was flying over the Arabian Gulf. A crew member reported an unidentified object. Less than an hour later, another report was filed, concerning a different object.
The unusual detail appeared in the first report: the object's thermal signature was described as "cold." A thermal camera displays heat differences, but the report doesn't specify exactly what was seen in the image. The speeds recorded for both objects were also estimates, not measurements.
Cold Signature, No Clear Image
The first report was filed at 2:41 AM. The report described the object as a solid body but did not detail its shape, size, or color. In the thermal signature section, it was noted that the camera showed it as cold.
This doesn't mean the object was cold to the touch. The report merely documents the signature received by the camera. It doesn't explain what caused it to appear this way, nor does it describe the image itself. According to the report, the incident was assessed as non-hazardous, and no harm to personnel was recorded.
Another Report, Different Speed
At 3:22 AM, a second report of an unidentified object was filed. This one was also assessed as non-hazardous. This time, no thermal signature was recorded, and no description of the object was provided.
The report includes speed estimates for both incidents: approximately 515 km/h for the first and 710 km/h for the second. These are estimated figures, not definitive measurements. Neither report provided a clear trajectory, and no attempt to intercept the objects was recorded.
The report documents both events as part of the same mission, 41 minutes apart. However, it does not determine if there was a connection between the objects, or if they were even the same type of thing.
What Remains Unknown
The report does not reveal what the objects were, what they looked like, or what caused the first signature to appear cold. It also lacks any possible conventional explanation, making it impossible to know what was in the sky.
Two lines remain in the report — and one of them describes something the camera saw as cold.
