Observer reports six small spherical objects grouped together, 29 July 2025

  • Verbatim
    ABLE TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS QUICKLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY
    DOW-UAP-D108 · Release 06 · page 7 · war.gov ↗
  • Context

    These are fields from the UAP section of a MISREP filed by a 1st Special Operations Wing unit. The catalogue description says the report accompanies infrared video (DOW-UAP-PR135).

  • Inference · AI interpretation

    The description suggests the observer saw several objects moving together as a group, but the report records only the observer's impression, not what the objects were.

New or already public? No earlier release in the overlap matches this page's content; only the blank template on page 3 overlaps with D109.

  • Context

    Accuracy for altitude, velocity and trajectory is marked Estimated. The catalogue description reads the speed as 480 miles per hour.

    The form suggests the observing aircraft did not interact with or interrogate the objects. The meaning of the partly garbled 'followed of own accord' entry is unclear.

This is page 6 of a mission report form recording a UAP incident, with on-station and off-station fields largely redacted or blank. It describes an initial contact at 292022:32ZJUL25 with an object that seemed agile and frequently changed direction, showed no response to observer actions, and was reported as solid with unknown propulsion.
