ABSTRACT SUMMARY
ENTRY DESIGNATION: AS203311
DATES ACTIVE: 860 ABY (ONGOING)
STATEMENT:
Various reports by independent spacers, merchant marine personnel, and planetary militia personnel suggest to indicate presence of unknown entity encountered at least 23 times in deep space locations in and outside of CIS territory. Descriptions vary; details conflicting; content unsubstantiated. Accounts suggest unidentified object [UO] to be large in scale [estimated 8,000-14,000m, based on median reports] and of unknown type or configuration. Possible organic or biological nature. Experiences claim object appears without warning, undetected by instruments; appears ‘hazy’ or ‘blurred’; object remains distant, avoids contact, does not accept attempts to hail on all civilian and military common channels; object then disappears. Object not hostile. Average duration of contact: 1-3:00 Galactic Standard Minutes. Witnesses claim feelings of exceptional fear, paranoid, confusion, to include nausea and disorientation. Witnesses state feelings linger; reports suggest mild PTSD-like symptoms remain for several days/weeks to follow alleged encounter. Witnesses are independent; no discernable connection.
ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION:
ITEM ONE: SOURCE(S)
- Sources appear independent of one another; no discernable relationship.
- Sources appear broad spectrum to include civilians, contracted merchant spacers, military personnel; various species, ages, and backgrounds.
- Sources show no particular commonality in terms of noted political, religious, or sectarian ideology or sympathies.
- Sources 1-18 had not ingested or used any form of drugs or consumables within 24 GSY of alleged sightings, indicating clear presence of mind unaffected by state of intoxication. Sources 19-23 admitted casual use, indicating possible altered state(s).
- Sources do not exhibit or present signs of mental or emotional conditions which suggest hallucinatory or delusional cause; Sources do indicate heightened agitation, aggression, and anxiety when interviewed; likelihood of PTSD caused by alleged interaction determined at 73.04%.
- Sources reports cannot be verified or substantiated.
ITEM TWO: NATURE
- Source descriptions indicate similarity of alleged experience although details vary and conflict regarding shape, color, size, attitude of object, and / or nature of object.
- Median accounts suggest average 1-3:00 GSM of contact / observation.
- UO “appears” in deep space; no contact record found in instruments to corroborate reports.
- UO allegedly non-hostile, keeping minimum distance from observer vessel(s).
- UO does not respond to attempts to contact through standard civilian, corporate, or military channels when attempted.
- UO “disappears”; further whereabouts unknown.
- UO does not match known type or configuration of any vessel or species; UO may/may not be biological.
ITEM THREE: EXTERNAL INFLUENCE(S)
- No presence of spatial anomaly or occurrence to suggest misinterpretation of sighting.
ITEM FOUR: PRECEDENT(S)
- Long tradition of spacefaring mythos and folklore regarding ‘monsters’ or similarly descripted figures sighted in space.
- UO does not match any previous description or report on file (Include open-source, restricted archives).
CONCLUSION(S):
- Sources suggest UO has likelihood of legitimacy at 43.85%.
- Sources suggest UO is VERY LARGE.
- Sources suggest UO is NOT HOSTILE.
- Sources suggest UO is POTENTIALLY BIOLOGICAL.
- Sources suggest UO is of UNKNOWN NATURE.
- Sources suggest UO encounters LIKELY to result in incidental and continuing individual PTSD.
- Sources suggest future attempts to contact UO should be made with MODERATE CAUTION.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ITEM ONE: No Need / Justification to raise force alert levels at this time. Will continue to monitor future reports and will revise if necessary.
ITEM TWO: Recommend scientific survey to be conducted in areas of alleged sightings [REDACTED] by appropriate agencies to discern possible cause; Recommend first-contact / new species protocols to be used; Recommend moderate security precautions taken.
