Interpretive reconstruction - not source evidence. This plate visualizes the analytical problem shared by D101 and the promoted sensor sequences: small unresolved returns, moving platforms, multiple display states, and missing calibration. The pictured workstation and contacts are invented.

The packet consists of D101 - Unresolved UAP Report, Gulf of Oman, 2021 and six videos: PR117, PR118, PR119, PR120, PR121, and PR122.

The report and clips are related layers, not interchangeable proof. D101 preserves crew interpretation, mission context, tactical-display estimates, and collection failures. The MP4s preserve partial extracts with limited public symbology and no released range solution.

D101 describes repeated AC-130 observation of small cold objects over the Gulf of Oman in 2021. It attributes roughly 25 events to the collection period and describes single objects, pairs, and triads, apparent low-altitude travel, speeds derived from tactical displays, and coordinated or “dolphin-like” behavior. Those are intelligence-report claims based on the crew's operational picture; they are not measurements recreated here.
