This is a SPEAR Range Fouler reporting form documenting an aircrew using infrared sensors to track a single round, cold object over the Gulf of Aden on October 15, 2020.

But the public debrief still does not include enough context to decide what the object was, and time watching is not a substitute for hard data.
