Wright Patterson AFB UFO Sighting (10 DEC 2018) — AARO Records
An AATIP/uaptf era case from Wright Patterson AFB. A journal article presents new insights into the galactic chemical evolution of magnesium and silicon isotopes from studies of silicate stardust.
Background
On 10 DEC 2018, in Wright Patterson AFB, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) recorded the unidentified-phenomenon case described below. The case is preserved in AARO’s 2024-2025 publications and consolidated annual reports to Congress, declassified or released in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Department of Defense reporting cycles.
A case from the period of the advanced aerospace threat identification program and the unidentified aerial phenomena task force.
The case appears in materials produced or curated by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
What the document records
A journal article presents new insights into the galactic chemical evolution of magnesium and silicon isotopes from studies of silicate stardust. The research investigates the origins and evolution of these elements in the galaxy.
Type of case
The case is a visual sighting reported by ground or air observers.
Status
AARO designates unresolved cases as those for which the agency has not concluded the events were anomalous, has not concluded that they were conventional, and has not ruled out either possibility. Conventional candidates for sightings of recent periods include commercial drones, classified test platforms, satellite re-entry, balloon traffic, atmospheric optical phenomena, and astronomical objects.
