Investigative Assessments

"The reported claim remains worth testing against the record: Multiple aircraft reported two fast-moving, very bright targets which were investigated by NORAD. The strongest documented reasons to keep the file open are: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00012: Documents a pilot report of Multiple aircraft reported two fast-moving, very bright targets which were investigated by NORAD.. Key unresolved lead: Why did NORAD investigate this report specifically?"
"Evidentiary limitations: medium Note that: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00012 fails to support: The operational log does not contain physical telemetry, radar recordings, or photos to independently verify the nature of the object.."

FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00012

Analyst rating: Primary operational record of an aircrew report and the FAA's contemporaneous assessment.

“Multiple aircraft reporting UFOs in the vicinity of AMG. NORAD investigating.Two aircraft reported the sitings, LN30LJ, N27JH, described as two fast moving targets very bright light, too bright to be a satellite. Checked with EADS and NORAD, no reported military activity in vicinity. No other reports received. Suggested ZJX interview PICs and provide appropriate UFO forms should pilots elect to file.”
