AI Disclosure Brief
AI assistedReported Object Read
Astronaut Frank Borman reported a 'bogey' at ten o'clock high, distinct from the booster and numerous small particles observed passing nearby. Jim Lovell described the booster as a brilliant body with trillions of particles, tumbling ahead.
Notable Characteristics
- Luminosity: brilliant body in the sun against black background
- Altitude: 3-4 miles
- Environment: space
Reported Motion
- Particles going by to left, into polar orbit; booster slowly tumbling ahead.
Evidence Notes
- Verbatim radio transcript between Gemini 7 and Houston.
- PAO commentary identifies 'bogey' as unidentified object separate from booster and particles.
Gemini 7 crew clearly distinguishes a 'bogey' from known booster and orbital particles in real-time comms, warranting scrutiny beyond routine debris.

Unresolved UAP Report, Southern United States, 2020
The Department of the Air Force submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 58 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation. Video Description: 00:00-00:03: The sensor tracks an area of contrast acquiring a reticle lock. 00:04-00:30: The area of contrast gradually increases in distinctiveness against the background. 00:31: The sensor narrows its field-of-view to zoom in on the area of contrast. 00:32-00:56: The area of contrast increases in apparent size and distinctiveness. 00:57-00:58: The area of contrast leaves the center of the frame and passes out of the sensor field-of-view, exiting the scene in the bottom right corner of the screen. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance. AARO Comment: The area of contrast’s apparent increase in size is likely to be at least partially attributable to the U.S. platform closing the distance between itself and the source of the detection.
