Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by software engineer and UAP researcher Abbas Michael Dharamsey unveiled details of the mysterious Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) sighting that occurred on January 26, 2023. The incident, which was first brought to public attention during a UAP hearing in Congress, involved a U.S. Air Force pilot encountering four separate UAPs during a test mission over the Gulf of Mexico.
DECLASSIFIED SUMMARY:
On 26 Jan 23, an USAF pilot gained radar lock on four separate UAP. Upon approach, the pilot was able to make visual contact and employ sensors to obtain a screen capture of the first of these objects. The remaining three were only detected by radar.
UAP-1 likened to an “Apollo spacecraft” in size and shape, with an “orange-reddish” illuminated rounded bottom and the top section “a three-dimensional cone shape” comprising “gunmetal gray segmented panels.”
UAP-1 operated at an altitude of about 16,000 above ground level (AGL). The second and third UAPs were noted at altitudes of 17,000 and 18,000. The fourth was lost from radar and no altitude was noted. Moreover, no airspeeds were noted for any of the UAP in this report.
Of note, upon closing to within 4,000 feet of UAP-1, the radar malfunctioned and remained disabled for the remainder of the event. Post-mission investigation revealed that a circuit breaker had triggered, but that maintenance technicians were unable to conclusively diagnose the fault.
The pilot managed to gain radar lock on the UAP and obtain a screen capture of the object, while the remaining three were only detected by radar. Notably, upon approaching within 4,000 feet of the lead UAP, the pilot’s radar malfunctioned and remained disabled for the rest of the mission, with post-mission investigations failing to conclusively diagnose the fault.
A classified video exists and they refuse to release it:
However, a responsive video related to the incident was withheld in full under Exemption (b)(1), which protects information deemed critical to national defense or foreign policy and properly classified under an Executive order. This video was not previously mentioned by Gaetz, and it is unclear if Gaetz had seen the video, or if the image he did see was a screen grab from it.

Matt Gaetz’s investigation of the incident:
“We asked to see any of the evidence taken by flight crew in this endeavour and to observe any radar signature, as well as to meet with the flight crew. We were not afforded access to all of the flight crew and initially we were not afforded access to images and to radar.
Thereafter, we had bit of a discussion about how authorities flow in the United States of America and we did see the image and we did meet one member of the flight crew who took the image. The image was of something that I am not able to attach to any human capability.”
“When we spoke with the flight crew and when he showed us the photo that he’d taken I asked why the video wasn’t engaged, why we didn’t have a FLIR system that worked? Here’s what he said.
They were out on a test mission that day over the Gulf of Mexico and when you’re on a test mission you’re supposed to have clear airspace, not supposed to be anything that shows up and they saw a sequence of four craft in a clear diamond formation for which there is a radar sequence that I and I alone have observed in the United States Congress.
One of the pilots goes to check out that diamond formation and sees a large floating, and what I can only describe as an orb, again like I said, not of any human capability that I’m aware of and when he approached, he said that his radar went down, he said that his FLIR system malfunctioned and that he had to manually take this image from one of the lenses and it was not automated in collection as you would typically see in a test mission.”

@MvonRen on X:
Per @DoD_AARO, the “Eglin UAP” was likely something akin to a “large commercial lighting balloon.”
Nonsense.
I called the Florida-based company that makes these high-end industrial products.
They told me their balloons do not come untethered randomly.

AARO’s resolution:
These details completely contradict and go against AARO’s poor resolution for the case known as the ‘Eglin UAP’.
