Please use the field below to describe the contact and any interaction in your own words with as much
detail as possible. Please be sure to include any detail not included in questions above.
While preforming an ISR tasking (ULTN/Black Hot/Lin), a solid white object flew through the FOV. There
was a temporarily lose of the object but re-acquired shortly there after. The crew was able to follow the
object as it appeared to make erratic moments above the water.
During the follow, crew was able to obtain
4x zoom on the object but lost the object due to poor track placement. While following, the sensor operator
was continuously manipulating the sensor to maintain eyes on the object. This is apparent by the waves of
the water in the background being visible and not being visible.
