What The Record Supports
NASA-UAP-D014 is among the most prosaic records in this release. Per the release note, the audio captures a recovery-team discussion of a dye marker that failed to activate in the water. Conservatively, the record preserves that operational exchange; it does not describe an unidentified aerial or spatial phenomenon, and the release attaches no anomalous interpretation to it.
