Turns above the North Aegean

Turns above the North Aegean

On 27 October 2023 at 00:35Z the crew of a 33rd Special Operations Squadron aircraft, on its way from Larissa to its tasking, reported a “UAP FLYING JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE OCEAN WATER” over the north Aegean that “TOOK MULTIPLE 90 DEGREE TURNS AT AN ESTIMATED 80 MPH”, and lost it from the picture at 00:38Z. The infrared recording released with the report, 2 min 57 s long, shows a small bright point that crosses the view and changes direction sharply while the sea behind it stays put in the frame, and then sits for 82 seconds in a tracking reticle until it fades. Neither the report nor the recording gives a range or a field of view, so the point's size and the 80 mph cannot be tested. Two days later the same squadron reported an object of the same description flying straight towards Crete; its 24-second recording shows a point moving in a straight line against the clouds.
