Atlantic Ocean: Navy aircrew reports maroon balloon-like object drifting with the wind
In 2020, at dusk over the Atlantic Ocean, a U.S. Navy weapons systems officer reported a darker, maroon-coloured object about 12–15 feet high resembling a large, somewhat deformed balloon, which travelled with the wind and did not manoeuvre; the crew returned to the ship and landed uneventfully.
Background
Range Fouler Debrief DOW-UAP-D091 is a U.S. Navy form recording an unauthorised intrusion into controlled airspace during operations in 2020 over the Atlantic Ocean; it accompanies video DOW-UAP-PR116. The reporting crew member was a weapons systems officer (rank O-3); the detection occurred at dusk, the contact was moving, and the checklist marks it as round, metallic, balloon-shaped, opaque and reflective, without wings, markings or apparent propulsion. In the narrative the object is described as a darker, maroonish colour, approximately 12–15 feet in height, structurally like a large, somewhat deformed balloon; the official highlight adds that it travelled with the wind and did not manoeuvre or change direction. The crew proceeded back to the ship and landed uneventfully. Date, time, working area, coordinates, altitude, squadron and names are redacted or blank in the released text. The details are taken from the records released by the U.S. Department of War (record code DOW-UAP-D091) and do not represent an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
