Vision Description (EN)

Range Fouler Reporting Form (declassified), a standardized USCENTCOM reporting instrument for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena encounters. The form contains: crew information section (name, rank, 1172 ATKS squadron), detection metadata (10/15/20 at 14:18:39 Z, ISR mission), contact location fields (latitude/longitude coordinates in MGRS and decimal degrees, altitude), environmental parameters (wind direction, wind speed), sensor status (radar equipped, stable trackfile indicators), object physical characteristics (shape, color, material descriptors via checkbox matrix), and EA indications. The narrative description field documents: 'Contact at 14:18:39-14:19:52 on 15OCT2020. MGRS location 400 8D 6 (estimated lat/long). While at 19,073 HAT over the Gulf of Aden we tracked a round, cold object in IR traveling 3,19 degrees at 20 mph. It made a few abrupt directional changes during the 1 minute contact.

Descrição Vision (PT-BR)

Formulário de Relato Range Fouler (desclassificado), um instrumento padronizado de relatório da USCENTCOM para encontros com Fenômenos Aéreos Não Identificados. O formulário contém: seção de informações da tripulação (nome, patente, esquadrão 1172 ATKS), metadados de detecção (10/15/20 às 14:18:39 Z, missão ISR), campos de localização de contato (coordenadas latitude/longitude em MGRS e graus decimais, altitude), parâmetros ambientais (direção do vento, velocidade do vento), status do sensor (radar equipado, indicadores de trackfile estável), características físicas do objeto (forma, cor, descritores materiais via matriz de checkbox) e indicações EA. O campo de descrição narrativa documenta: "Contact at 14:18:39-14:19:52 on 15OCT2020. MGRS location 400 8D 6 (estimated lat/long).
