[page 2] 1.4(a) Good morning, Thank you for your request. Our process for declassifying IIRs is lengthy and requires AFOSI Commander signature so I'm exploring options akin to a security review of the UNCLASS summary you have provided below. This is a first for me so I appreciate your patience as I try to streamline this request for you! Thanks, OSI CI Collections and Operations PM Intelligence Oversight PM [page 3] 1.4(a) [page 4] # 1.4(a) ## CURRENT CLASSIFICATIONS//NF-REQUESTED CLASSIFICATION UNCLASSIFIED Reported Appearance: An individual reported observing a large blue featureless triangular object with a solid, unwavering silhouette emitting powerful "whitish blue" light from multiple points along its perimeter. Reported Behavior: The reporter described the object as "hovering" stationary above or near a national security facility for approximately three minutes. They then reported observing it move to a position higher in their field of view. The reporter characterized the object's motion as "backing up" in a "jerking" or "jumping" manner inconsistent with "smooth" jet propulsion. The individual reported that they observed the object for approximately eight minutes. Other Observations: The reporter commented that they could not discern whether or how the object was controlled, could not identify its means of propulsion, and could not determine whether it had a defined "front or rear." They stated that they "didn't think" the object was a drone.
