A good day for clouds here with lots of towering convection mingled with clear blue skies and altocumulus. This plane perfectly crossed the sun from my vantage point and was silhouetted against some iridescence. Edit: I should add that I...

I could see this being the case. One could be where the report was submitted to or where the unit that reported was based out of, and the other could be where the event actually took place. Would have to look into each to see if there's further...

For some of your red ones, I could see it being a case of "where the report was to sent to us from" vs. "where the incident occurred," for example PR020, where column 1 mentions Kuwait and column 2 and 3 mention Iraq. That MIGHT be an office on...

Maybe the Southern United States refers to where UAVs (e.g. MQ-1 Predator) are being operated from? As opposed to where they took off from. The pilot/ image interpretation staff in the US might be the the most likely people to notice anything...

I mentioned elsewhere, but as this tranch of reports is leadign to a lot of threads I'll mention it again here: I could see it being a case of "where the report was to sent to us from" vs. "where the incident occurred," for example PR020, where...

Unfortunately, at least as far as positively identifying the dot in this particular photo. The "found in a photo later" type claim is particularly popular in the UFO world, likely because of the ambiguity they present. There is some sort of...

Agree. e.g. PR048 is listed as 2013-01-01, and in the metadata in the video file from DVIDS it says there is a XMP-photoshop:DateCreated field and the time is 05:00, with no timezone specified, which to me suggests it was simply stamped as being...

Could be lots of things, depending on speed. Farsi Island is an outpost of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and has played a role in conflict in the Persian Gulf, Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsi_Island. Iran operates drones...

I don't think it is. Most videos from the release are dated 01 Jan. I think it's the default day used when they only want to disclose the year.

This is not a great video... https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006089/dow-uap-pr39-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2020 ... however I think it is Farsi Island: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsi_Island Google Maps 27°59'35.0"N 50°10'21.0"E

More comments on reddit, this time suggesting that the 'spikes' remain consistent with the image frame, and therefore have to be camera related. I tend to agree. Source...

People may find this Reddit post interesting Amateur FPV pilot here - the onscreen display (OSD) contains some useful information that many fpv pilots would immediately recognize. This is definitely a rotorcraft (likely quadcopter) running open...

The Structural Indicators to Monitor Online Disinformation Scientifically (SIMODS) project recently released their second report about the state of online disinformation on social media platforms. SIMODS is a consortium of European organizations...

And honestly, what does it really say on the screen? There's an indication saying "Low battery" and two symbols showing empty batteries. Someone doesn't seem very interested in getting his drone back home… And at the end of the video, we get...

There's a second, smaller "dot" in the sky, and the camera pans between the "star" and the smaller dot before returning again. I have no experience with military-grade drones, but to me it looks like nothing more than two friendly drones, with...
