A newly declassified Army intelligence file reveals an expansive network of U.S. Army counterintelligence agents conducting operations and field briefings about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) across the continental U.S. and abroad.
The FOIA-released report comprises a series of CAP Activity Reports (Counterintelligence Activity Plans) dated from mid-2023 into early 2024.
These documents provide one of the most granular looks yet into the day-to-day military-level tracking of UAP incursions, often linked to restricted airspace, foreign surveillance risks, or technologically anomalous behaviors.
"All of the UAS incursions… appeared to be self-piloted without the use of advanced software or GPS mapping tools."
The quote above - pulled directly from an Army CI report at White Sands Missile Range - highlights the odd pattern: intrusions by drones or objects lacking known navigation inputs.
🔍 Surveillance Tech & Firewalled DJI Sensors
Multiple reports emphasize the use of advanced detection systems such as:
-
Windtalker UAS Sensor: Tracks drones and their pilots up to 35km away
-
Low Altitude Surveillance Platform (LASP): Detects only DJI-manufactured drones, firewalled to block outgoing data to "nefarious sources"
These systems were deployed in high-security zones including White Sands, Dugway Proving Ground, and multiple Forward Operating Bases (FOBs).
"DJI products… may automatically or manually upload data to DJI servers. This includes flight telemetry logs, personal data, and device serials - all potentially traceable."
The reports repeatedly flag concerns that DJI’s firmware could send sensitive telemetry back to China, a risk mitigated through hardware firewalls.
🧭 From Saudi Arabia to Ohio: UAP Tracking Is Global
Contrary to common assumptions, this isn’t just a domestic affair. Declassified reports show:
-
UAP briefings conducted in Saudi Arabia, raising concerns about UAV/UAP tracks near forward Army installations
-
Activity in Utah’s Test and Training Range, monitored by special counterintel teams coordinating with AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office)
-
Surveillance near Detroit Arsenal, with "high UAP activity detected over Lake Erie" triggering CI follow-ups with local Army pilots
🧪 Joint Ops & Intel Sharing
The files document collaborative exercises between the Army, FBI, All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and Air Force intel. Some joint efforts include:
-
Coordination for spectrum analysis testing at Dugway in August 2023
-
Plans for visual + radar correlation of UAP sightings
-
Monthly planning meetings to develop a response matrix for incursions
"The ultimate goal was to identify a way to obtain visual observation of a UAP and then correlate this visual sighting with radar data."
📉 Highly Redacted, Highly Revealing
Much of the report remains redacted under FOIA Exemptions (b)(1), (b)(3), and (b)(7)(E), which shield:
-
Classified intel methods
-
Intelligence source identities
-
Sensitive law enforcement techniques
Entire pages are labeled:
"IT IS NOT REASONABLE TO SEGREGATE MEANINGFUL PORTIONS OF THE RECORD FOR RELEASE."
Despite these redactions, what emerges is a clear message: UAPs are no longer a fringe issue.
They are a central concern for Army counterintelligence - triggering briefings, monitoring tech deployments, and the active involvement of America’s top defense labs.
🎯 Conclusion
The U.S. Army’s formal acknowledgment, planning, and response to UAPs - backed by CI reports and sensor logs - validates years of speculation about military interest in the phenomenon.
These aren’t isolated radar blips or hobby drones.
They are events of enough consequence to merit:
-
Multi-agency exercises
-
Surveillance systems hardened against foreign access
-
Intelligence assessments involving secure government facilities
And while names and details are withheld, the operations themselves are no longer classified in theory - they’re now a matter of public record.
