UAP Tranche 5: If You Think There’s Nothing Here, Look Again

What was said

"the gunner pulled the trigger on uh from the aircraft's 105 millimeter cannon and was about to shoot these things, these objects that he saw. Uh, and before the cannon actually fired, the two objects suddenly took off and they shot out of the sensor view."

Richard Dolan, reviewing the White House’s UAP “Tranche 5” release, describes a US Special Operations AC-130J gunship mission over the Gulf of Oman on 8 September 2021 in which an intelligence report says two “cold round objects” hovered above the water and then accelerated away as a crew member prepared to fire. He adds that the report describes about 25 separate sightings during the same mission, estimated speeds up to 1,300 mph, no visible propulsion, and a failure of the aircraft’s video recorder that left only phone-shot clips.
