Investigative Assessments

"The reported claim remains worth testing against the record: An aircrew reported a fast-moving, white, diamond-shaped object passing under them at 19,500 feet over water. The strongest documented reasons to keep the file open are: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00056: Documents a pilot report of An aircrew reported a fast-moving, white, diamond-shaped object passing under them at 19,500 feet over water.. Key unresolved lead: Why was Palm Beach Sheriff's Office notified of an offshore event at 19,500 feet?"
"Evidentiary limitations: low Note that: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00056 fails to support: The operational log does not contain physical telemetry, radar recordings, or photos to independently verify the nature of the object.."
