The 21 second clip captured an unidentified aerial phenomena or UAP “consisting of an object with a vertical pole or bar attached to the bottom of the object.” According to the release, the observer reported that the UAP might actually have been a reflection from an object in the water below.
There were also a number of images depicting other UAP incidents in the release, Including an FBI rendering based on 2023 witness accounts of a metallic object that materialized out of a bright light in the sky before it disappeared “instantaneously” and an archival image from 1972’s Apollo 17 mission to the moon in– in which three mysterious lights are visible near the moon’s surface.
