         object located west of his position at an estimated bearing of ::::s1 degrees.

         ran from the eastern side of our observation post to the western side in an
         attempt to collect further data related to the detection from Observation
         Post 6. We initiated a visual survey o f the western hori::on and almost
         immediately observed a substantial, nonreflective, darr.: black triangular
         object most resembling a delta wing drone. We estimated the object's
         wingspan at approximately nine to fifteen feet, its depth at six to nine
         feet, and its thickness at one to two feet. I viewed the object through a
         handheld thermal device and noted it appeared hotter than ambient
         temperature with a completely consistent thermal signature ac r oss the entire
         airframe and no visible e x haust gases, while             tracked the object
         unaided for the duration of the sighting.

         "We both observed the object ascend vertically over a ridge line situated
         approximately 3.::: miles west of our location on a heading of about '.::68
         degrees. The object climbed to approximately :::oo feet above the ridge line,
