Objects observed entering and exiting the ocean demonstrated transmedium capabilities.
High confidence for non-anomalous behavior, moderate for sky lanterns.

Investigative Assessments

"The reported claim remains worth testing against the record: Objects observed entering and exiting the ocean demonstrated transmedium capabilities. The strongest documented reasons to keep the file open are: The Puerto Rico Object Case Resolution: Objects were likely sky lanterns drifting at wind speed.."
"Evidentiary limitations: High confidence for non-anomalous behavior, moderate for sky lanterns. Note that: The Puerto Rico Object Case Resolution fails to support: Does not support transmedium capabilities.. Leading conventional hypothesis: A pair of sky lanterns."

Case Summary

Thermal video captured two objects drifting near Rafael Hernandez Airport. AARO assessed with high confidence the objects did not exhibit anomalous behavior or transmedium capabilities, and assessed with moderate confidence they were a pair of sky lanterns. This pilot synopsis is an intake summary requiring source-by-source verification.
