This document is an UNCLASSIFIED report from an unknown agency, date unspecified, that contains a GENTEXT/UAP entry describing a sighting of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon. The report includes redacted SECRET//NOFORN portions, indicating it likely originated as a classified military observation. Its purpose appears to be to document a UAP encounter during a flight operation.

Source: Document Metadata and Official Description; OCR Text Page 7.

What This Document Contains

• A single UAP detection report with descriptive information, recorded during a return-to-base (RTB) flight at 1319Z.

• The UAP is described as triangular in shape and metallic in appearance.

• Details of the observing platform’s location (coordinates 36°34”53”N 025°59”43”E), altitude (24,989 feet MSL), and speed (168 knots) at the time of the sighting.

• The report includes text originally classified SECRET//NOFORN, with extensive redactions marked “1.4(a)” on most pages.

Source: Official Description; OCR Text, Pages 1-7.

Key Observations

• “1X UAP DETECTED WITH DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION SUCH AS BEING A TRIANGLUAR AND METALLIC UAP.” (Note: “TRIANGLUAR” is likely a typographical error for “TRIANGULAR”.)

• “DURING RTB AT 1319Z, [REDACTED] OBSERVED 1X UAP WHILE TRANSITING OVER 363453N 0255943E FLYING AT AN ALTITUDE OF 24,989FT MSL AND SPEED OF 168KTS.”

Source: OCR Text, Page 7, GENTEXT/UAP sections.

Context & Significance

This document fits within the broader framework of military UAP reporting, providing a timestamped, geo-located observation from an airborne platform. The heavy redactions (likely applied under FOIA exemption 1.4(a), concerning classified national security information) obscure sensor details and the identity of the observer, which is consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and methods. The coordinates place the sighting over the Mediterranean Sea, east of Crete, but the document alone does not establish any patterns or corroboration with other events.

Evidence Assessment

What this document shows:

• A single UAP with a triangular and metallic appearance was observed by a military asset during an RTB at a specific time and location.

What this document does NOT show:

• No confirmation of extraterrestrial origin or technology.

• No definitive identification of the observed phenomena.

• No information on duration, maneuvers, or sensor data beyond the brief description.

• Independent analysis should refer to the original document.

[WARN] Assessment: The evidence consists of a brief narrative report with no supporting sensor data, imagery, or multi-source corroboration provided in this release. The redaction of the observing unit and most report details severely limits independent verification. The description is solely based on a single human observation (or unspecified sensor), and the typographical error introduces minor uncertainty about precise wording. This document alone is insufficient to draw conclusions about the nature or origin of the UAP.’ keyFindings: [] tags:
