This redacted PDF is a U.S. Navy Range Fouler Reporting Form for an incident in the Gulf of Aden on September 4, 2020. The form records an unauthorized intrusion into controlled airspace during active military operations or training, with a narrative description from the observer.

A U.S. military operator reported tracking a "round, cold object" for eight minutes using a "black hot" IR sensor, which made the UAP appear "bright white." The report says the object was "traveling 168 degrees at 277 mph" and "made a few abrupt directional changes." The description and estimates reflect the reporter's interpretation at the time, not a conclusive finding about the object's features or performance.
