✦ AI summary
Declassified two-page email chain (SECRET//NOFORN banner on the emails, tearline content UNCLASSIFIED) between a PAROC Intel Data Analysis Technician (15 AF/DET 1) and an Information Disclosure Analyst, processing a request to approve inclusion of the year in a previously-approved UAP tearline (only month and day had been approved for release). The technician provided the additional information confirming the year, and the underlying incident tearline reads: on 31 October 2024, a US aircraft observed a possible UAP, described as oval/orb shaped and likely moving at low speed; the US aircraft maintained visual contact ('eyes on') with the possible UAP for over 2 hours -- an unusually long sustained observation compared to most tearline-summary UAP reports in this release, which typically describe encounters lasting seconds to minutes. Declassified and released to AARO.
