Unidentified object imaged at Pantex nuclear weapons facility — ground surveillance radar
The document is a Pantex (Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC) Unidentified Object Incident Report comprising pages 5–6 of 6, presenting a ground surveillance radar tower image and enhanced images produced by Sandia National Laboratories. The substantive content of the report — including date, object description, and narrative — is almost entirely redacted under UCNI (Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information) and b(3) exemptions. The images themselves do not reproduce meaningfully in the extracted text.
“"Pantex Unidentified Object Incident Report — Image from Ground Surveillance Radar Tower" / "Sandia National Labs Enhanced Images of the Object"”
Extracted text is almost entirely non-informative: document is UCNI-marked (Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information) and the key fields (date, location detail, object description, witness accounts, resolution) are redacted under b(3). Only structural elements — section headings, page numbers, issuing entity names — survived OCR. Pantex is a DOE nuclear weapons assembly/disassembly facility near Amarillo, TX; its involvement confirms nuclear-facility-adjacent context. Sandia National Labs produced enhanced radar imagery, indicating formal investigation occurred. No incident date recoverable. Confidence is very low due to near-total redaction; record captures document existence only.
