This document is a declassified internal communication between U.S. Department of Defense intelligence personnel, likely originating from the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (OUSD(I&S)). The exchange confirms that two brief summary statements (tearlines) describing UAP sightings by U.S. aircraft in April 2025, along with the INDOPACOM area of responsibility, are approved for release at the UNCLASSIFIED level.

Source: Document pages 1–2, message headers and signature block identifying “Information Disclosure Analyst, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security.”

What This Document Contains

• Confirmation from a flying unit that two specific tearlines summarizing UAP observations are unclassified, and that adding the AOR INDOPACOM is also unclassified.

• Two UAP sighting summaries: one on 10APR25 at 2353Z (12 seconds, unknown altitude and speed, no interference) and another on 11APR25 at 0007Z (23 seconds, unknown altitude and speed, no interference).

• Overall document classification of SECRET//NOFORN, with the tearlines explicitly marked //UNCLASSIFIED//.

Source: Document pages 1–2, verbatim text of tearlines and classification markings.

Key Observations

• “//UNCLASSIFIED// US AIRCRAFT OBSERVED 1X POSS UAP FOR 12 SECONDS AT 2353Z, FLYING AT UNK ALTITUDE AND UNK SPEED, NO INTERFERENCE WAS NOTED.” (10APR25)

• “//UNCLASSIFIED// US AIRCRAFT OBSERVED 1X POSS UAP FOR 23 SECONDS AT 0007Z, FLYING AT UNK ALTITUDE AND UNK SPEED, NO INTERFERENCE WAS NOTED.” (11APR25)

Source: Page 2 of the document, within the designated tearlines.

Context & Significance

The communication is part of a classification review process for releasing UAP-related information, involving a PAROC Intel Data Analysis Technician Team Lead and an OUSD(I&S) Information Disclosure Analyst. The sightings, dated 10–11 April 2025 and tied to INDOPACOM, suggest incidents in the Indo-Pacific region, but no further operational details are provided.

Source: Document pages 1–2, signature blocks and mention of INDOPACOM AOR.

Evidence Assessment

What this document shows:

• Two U.S. military aircraft observed possible UAP for 12 and 23 seconds, with no interference and unknown altitude/speed.

• The reporting chain determined that the summarized sighting data (tearlines) is unclassified and can be released with the INDOPACOM AOR.

What this document does NOT show:

• No confirmation of extraterrestrial origin or technology.

• No definitive identification of the observed phenomena.

• No sensor data, pilot narratives, or investigative conclusions.

• Independent analysis should refer to original document.

[WARN] Assessment: The document provides only minimal observational data with critical flight parameters unknown. These summary statements are administrative products for disclosure, not substantive intelligence evaluations. Without additional records, the sightings remain unexplained and cannot be characterized further.’ keyFindings: [] tags:
