Characterizing Dark UAPs: Daylight Visibility, Infrared Signatures, and High-Speed, Low-Albedo Observations in Ukraine

To the point

Three observers—Boris Zhilyaev, Vladimir Petukhov, and Sergey Pokhvala—report three high‑tech sightings of dark UAPs in daylight over Kiev, at night near the Moon, and in a Ukrainian combat zone, finding they are visible in daylight but infrared at night, are large and move at least Mach 2.5, have very low reflectivity (albedo around 3% or less) consistent with near‑black‑body emission, with emissivity patterns matching dark near‑black bodies and noting ties to prior literature to inform space‑physics discussions of UAPs and their kinematics.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. Characterization of Dark UAPs

We use high-tech observations of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) class objects to evaluate their characteristics. We present data in three cases. (1) Multi-side daytime observations of UAPs over Kiev. (2) Night observations of a group of objects in the vicinity of the Moon. (3) UAP observations in the combat zone in Ukraine. Dark UAPs in the visible wavelength range are observed only during the day. At night they can only be seen in the infrared wavelength range. We note large sizes of UAPs, from three to six kilometers.They exhibit large velocities, from 2.5 Mach and much larger. They have low albedo, from three percent and below, that is, they actually exhibit features of a completely black body.
