The Eglin AFB Diamond-Formation UAP incident of January 26, 2023 involved a military pilot observing four objects in a diamond formation over the Gulf of Mexico while experiencing simultaneous aircraft system malfunctions. The video, designated “IIR 1 665 SO301 23/Eglin AFB,” is among the up to 46 aaro-held UAP clips previewed for pursue Release 02.
AARO’s published case-resolution report concluded the formation was “very likely an ordinary object” — possibly a lighting balloon — with only “moderate confidence.” mick-west, speaking to The Debrief, said AARO’s lighting-balloon hypothesis “always felt like something someone at AARO liked, but wasn’t really supported by much evidence.”
