Orb observed under FLIR, splits into two, pursues helicopter at extreme speed — 2025

At approximately 2202 hours local time, a state-partner helicopter (Call Sign 1) arrived at coordinates relayed by a Listening Post/Observation Post (LP/OP) which reported detecting an orb under FLIR described as 'super-hot,' hovering at ground level before moving at high speed, then splitting into two objects. The helicopter was directed to intercept but was unable to match the object's speed. LP/OP subsequently reported the orb came within ten feet of the helicopter, then departed and was estimated to have traveled approximately 20 miles in very short elapsed time. A co-pilot reported seeing something emerge from one of the two objects and travel in a different direction at high speed. The orb's apparent speed and proximity behaviors are inconsistent with known aircraft.

“LP/OP 'spotted an orb under FLIR and described as "super-hot" hovering at ground level before heading bearing from LP/OP'; 'LP/OP reported the orb gained elevation, came within ten feet of [CALL SIGN 1] and then headed east'; 'the co-pilot reported seeing under NVG something emerge from the two objects and then travel in a different direction and a high rate of speed'”

All coordinates, site names, state partner organization, witness names, and military aircraft designations are redacted. The document is SECRET//NOFORN. Sensor corroboration (FLIR, NVG, naked eye) across multiple observers strengthens the incident record. The 'super-hot' FLIR characterization is a direct sensor datum. The 20-mile travel estimate in the time elapsed (~minutes) implies extraordinary speed but elapsed time between reports is not precisely documented. Confidence is moderately high for the existence and general character of the events, reduced by comprehensive redaction of all geospatial and identity data.
