On 8 September 2021 a United States Special Operations\nForces (lJSSOF)AC-130 Gunship was conducting live fire training the Gulf of Oman in the\n\\licinity of (IVO) //MGRS: 40REN6\nI during period of darkness, The AC-130 first\nobserved Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAPs) when the aircraft dropped a\nwater-activated Rare to use as a mock target. The AC-130 entered an otl>it around the\nflare and the Combat Systems Officer (CSO) conducted collateral scans with the aircraft's\nElectro Opticall1nfrared (EO/IR) sensor IVO the flare. When tile CSO slewed the sensor in\nIR mode back to the !1are they observed two approximately four.foot diameter cold orbs\nbetween o to 20 feet above the surface of the water stat onary over tlle 11are for\napproximately 15 seconds. After those 15 seconds passed, the CSO puled lhe trigger\nfiring the aircraft's 105mm C9nnon. Immediately upon puling the trigg r, during th\nsight delay between trigger pull and the cannon's recoil, the CSO obseNed the pair o\nUAPs rapidly lly away from the flare and out of the sensor eed without chang ng\naltitude,\n-\nSUBSEQUENT OBSERVATIONS. The AC-130 crew observed approximately 2.5 iistances of\nUA'Ps viewed in IR as C<lld oms In both white-1$-hot an blaek-1$-hol mode during the\nsortie. Two UAPs were observed ffying in a loose but coordinated formation increasing and\ndecreasing a • de like a wave whle•maneuvering a.round , over, and under each other in a\nmanner similar to how dolphins playfully swim in a pod. (SOURCE COMMENl: They [The UAPs]\nknew they were flying together). UAPs were also separately observed llylng In a formation\nof three and sep ately observed flying erratically and maneuvering aggressively. The\nattached videos depict a i.moothly slewing EOllR sen1,0r or a stationary EO/IR sensor with\nmultiple UAPsdaltlng around the sensor feed . The AC-130's crew attelTIQted to save\nentirety of the EO/IR footage of the UAP obServations but the aircraffs Digital Video\nReC()rder (DVR) inexp ·cably failed and the 11ideo data became corrupted.\n-\nESTIMATED SPEED. The CSO calculated tne UAP's approximate 5peeds using lhe\naircraft's TACTOOL and clbcl(ed their rnaxirnum observed R\\Bneu11arin9 speed at 1300 mdes per\nhour (MPH) and the UAPs minimum observed manewering speed at 250 MPH.
