Document summary
A completed "Range Fouler Debrief" form for a 24 August 2020 night mission by a naval helicopter squadron (HSM-73) in the North Arabian Sea. The aircrew observed three possible unidentified small air contacts with no electronic, radar or IFF returns; one was tracked first, then two more appeared due east, and all three held a consistent course, speed and altitude.
