Investigative Assessments

"The reported claim remains worth testing against the record: Air traffic controllers observed a stationary, 50-foot boomerang-shaped UAP at 4,000 feet which remained in the area for 50 minutes. The strongest documented reasons to keep the file open are: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00372: Documents a pilot report of Air traffic controllers observed a stationary, 50-foot boomerang-shaped UAP at 4,000 feet which remained in the area for 50 minutes.. Key unresolved lead: Why was a 50-foot object stationary at 4,000 feet not detected on primary radar?"
"Evidentiary limitations: medium Note that: FAA SKYWATCH Incident Form 237UAP00372 fails to support: The operational log does not contain physical telemetry, radar recordings, or photos to independently verify the nature of the object.."
