✦ AI summary

A two-page email chain, with a struck-through SECRET//NOFORN banner on the emails and an UNCLASSIFIED tear line, between an Information Disclosure Analyst and a PAROC Intel Data Analysis Technician (15 AF / DET 1). The analyst asks the technician to approve the use of the year in which the incident took place, since only the month and day had been approved. The technician replies with the additional information to include the year in the unclassified tear line: on 31 October 2024, a U.S. aircraft observed a possible UAP that appeared oval or orb shaped, likely moving at a low speed, and the aircraft had eyes on the possible UAP for over 2 hours. Names and contact details are redacted.
