A US military operator in the Arabian Gulf reported an object that passed through a screen. It was followed by another object that bypassed it at a higher speed. The operator recounted this in a US Navy report form.
The report also describes three objects that moved around each other. One of them, according to the description, passed through a screen — but it's unclear what kind of screen. Here's what the operator described, and what the record leaves open.
One Object Passed Through the Screen
The operator described an object that flew through the screen. This is the phrasing that appears in the record's official summary. The summary does not add details about what the operator saw beforehand, or about the object's appearance.
The report was recorded on a form the US Navy uses to document incidents during military operations or training. The form is intended to document unauthorized intrusion into airspace controlled by the military. Parts of the record have been redacted.
Another Object Bypassed It
After the first object, the operator described a second object that passed by it. It moved at a higher speed than the first. The record does not state their speeds, or how long the incident lasted.
The official description mentions three objects that moved around each other. It does not contain a detailed description of the movement, or an explanation of how the three moved in relation to each other. Therefore, it is known that the operator reported several objects and movement between them, but the encounter itself cannot be reconstructed.
What Is Still Unknown
The record does not explain what the objects were, or what the operator meant by the word "screen": it is not specified whether it was a screen they were observing or something else. It also does not offer a conventional explanation for the description; this is a report of the operator's impression at the time of the incident.
Three objects moved around each other. And in the description, one screen remains, which no one has explained.
