Bearing/range: B/E ZIM 248/17 (relative to bullseye in use)

On October 27, 2020, at 01:12:21 Zulu, an O-3 pilot from 77 EFS filed a Range Fouler Debrief reporting two contacts at 26,000 feet, described as balloon-shaped, metallic, reflective, and visually tallied as "2x red blinking strobes." The target pod showed two IR significant contacts, with one range fouler circling the other, and noise jamming was received, indicated by two chevrons. The operator could not close within 16.9 NM, and "in 1/30th of a second, they were gone."
