What was reported
Six seconds of FMV video, second of three clips from the same event as PR031 and PR033 (mission report DOW-UAP-D032). Shows an irregular half-oval area of white/red color and brightness at the top edge of frame, consistent with the mission report's own description of a light/glare halo effect rather than a discrete tracked craft.
What officials concluded
Tentative explanation
Same mission report as PR031/PR033; aircrew assessed benign, judged not a lasing event, categorized physical state as Plasma.
