DOW-UAP-PR34, Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023

Official Conclusion

Unresolved

Official Description

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of two minutes and 57 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D33, described the UAP as flying near the surface of the ocean and making multiple “90-degree turns” at approximately 80 miles per hour. Video Description: 00:04: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the bottom left quarter of the screen. 00:07-00:19: The area of contrast moves back and forth horizontally across the field-of-view as the sensor pans to track it. 00:20-01:00: The area of contrast remains generally centered within the sensor field-of-view. 01:00-02:01: The sensor designates the area of contrast with a blue reticle, synchronizing its motion with the area of contrast’s relative position. 02:02-02:21: The sensor engages a contrast filter to better differentiate the area of contrast from the background. 02:22: The area of contrast becomes indistinguishable against the background, and the reticle drops its lock. 02:27-02:57: After losing lock, the sensor rapidly cycles zoom levels and contrast thresholds.

Key Findings

• →An infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform tracked an unidentified area of contrast near the ocean surface for approximately 2 minutes and 57 seconds over Greece in October 2023.
• →The accompanying mission report DoW-UAP-D33 describes the UAP as making multiple '90-degree turns' at approximately 80 miles per hour.
• →The sensor designated the area of contrast with a blue tracking reticle from approximately the 1:00 to 2:01 mark before losing lock at 2:22.
• →The sensor engaged a contrast filter at the 2:02 mark to improve differentiation of the object from the background, suggesting the object's thermal signature was difficult to isolate.
• →After losing lock, the sensor cycled rapidly through zoom levels and contrast thresholds, indicating operators were actively attempting to reacquire the target.
