If that method is not available, any reasonable derivation of location will work, but please be as specific as possible and make a note in the comments section. These locations may be used to cue other means of tracking.' Was the contact moving?: Yes. Radar Equipped: [blank]. Stable Trackfile?: [blank].

Narrative (free-text description): 'While performing an ISR tasking (ULTN/Black Hot/Lin), a solid white object flew through the FOV. There was a temporary loss of the object but re-acquired shortly thereafter. The crew was able to follow the object as it appeared to make erratic movements 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.' Footer instructions: 'Don't use the purple "submit" button!
