Summary

A U.S. Navy Range Fouler Debrief Form recording an airspace intrusion during military operations. A military operator observed one object cross the screen, then a second faster object overtaking it, with a total of three objects described as moving among one another.

Detail

This Range Fouler Debrief Form is a standardized U.S. Navy document used to record an unauthorized intrusion into controlled airspace during active operations or training, including the observer's narrative account.

The operator reported watching an object fly through the screen, followed by a second object moving at a higher speed that surpassed the first. In total, the report describes three objects moving amongst each other. As with all such reports, the descriptive language reflects the observer's subjective interpretation at the time and should not be treated as a conclusive determination of the objects' features or performance. The document was released by the Department of War through the PURSUE declassification.
