Provenance and Context
Like other Range Fouler reports, this document is a standardized form used by the Navy to document airspace intrusions during military operations. It contains the subjective narrative of a military operator. The report accompanies the video released as DOW-UAP-PR116 and was processed under a March 2026 House request concerning UAP records.3
Detailed Content
A U.S. military operator reported an encounter with a distinct object, describing the phenomenon as possessing a "darker, maroonish color" and measuring "approximately 12-15 feet in height." According to the narrative, the object "traveled with the wind" and did not "maneuver or change direction." The observer further characterized the phenomenon's structural appearance, stating it looked like a "large, somewhat deformed balloon."3
What The Record Supports
The report documents a range fouling incident over the Atlantic Ocean in 2020, not an unexplained flight. The operator's own description places the object drifting with the wind and resembling a deformed balloon, with no maneuvering or directional change noted.3
