Relatório desclassificado do DoD documentando a observação por uma aeronave de patrulha marítima P-8A de um objeto não identificado de baixa altitude a noroeste de Latáquia, Síria em 18 NOV 2016. A página contém um resumo narrativo (canto superior esquerdo), uma tabela cronológica detalhada com duas entradas com timestamp descrevendo observações de radar e visuais, condições meteorológicas e um comentário do CTG 67.1 caracterizando a interação como segura. Dois diagramas táticos ocupam o lado direito: um diagrama FLIGHT PATH mostrando a trilha do objeto e um mapa mostrando posições de embarcações incluindo um navio russo (INGUL ARS) e a localização do P-8A estadounidense. Múltiplas censuras conforme as isenções FOIA (b)(1) 1.4(a) e (b)(6) obscurecem detalhes operacionais e referência de vídeo. A página apresenta marcações UNCLASSIFIED//PUBLIC RELEASE e carimbos de desclassificação.
