◆ CASE FILEThe facts, corroborated
Jamming and Three Lights near Shaddadi (2023)
Just after midnight GMT on 21 February 2023 an F-15E crew over north-eastern Syria had its radar jammed for three minutes, and a minute later logged three possible UAP near Shaddadi, two of them glowing white on infrared with no radar return. The report itself blames the jamming on a Turkish jammer and logs a later object as a possible balloon. This is the record of what the crew reported, not a verdict on what was in the sky.
