Good morning!
Thank you for your patience on this-- like I said, this was a first for me.
Upon consulting internally here at HQ, our folks confirmed we do have the
authority to process this as a derivative classification review, instead of
a declassification request. Based upon the summary you provided below, I
concur with using this at the UNCLASSIFIED level in your product. Consider
your request approved.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
Thanks,

Good morning,
Thank you for your request. Our process for declassifying IIRs is lengthy and requires AFOSI Commander signature so I'm exploring options akin to a security review of the UNCLASS summary you have provided below. This is a first for me so I appreciate your patience as I try to streamline this request for you!
Thanks,

CURRENT CLASSIFICATION S//NF-REQUESTED CLASSIFICATION UNCLASSIFIED
Reported Appearance: An individual reported observing a large blue featureless triangular object with a solid, unwavering silhouette emitting powerful "whitish blue" light from multiple points along its perimeter.
Reported Behavior: The reporter described the object as "hovering" stationary above or near a national security facility for approximately three minutes. They then reported observing it move to a position higher in their field of view. The reporter characterized the object's motion as "backing up" in a "jerking" or "jumping" manner inconsistent with "smooth" jet propulsion. The individual reported that they observed the object for approximately eight minutes.
Other Observations: The reporter commented that they could not discern whether or how the object was controlled, could not identify its means of propulsion, and could not determine whether it had a defined "front or rear." They stated that they "didn't think" the object was a drone.
The reporter also commented on behaviors and capabilities they did not directly observe. They stated that the object did not seem to travel along a defined flight path, possess any "photograph or data collection capabilities," emit a "vapor trail," or demonstrate "cloaking capabilities."
