Enhanced PANTEX Imagery

DOE-UAP-D001 is a Pantex Unidentified Object Incident Report released on 2026-05-22 by the Department of Energy. The document consists of two pages (pages 5 and 6 of a 6-page report) originating from the Pantex Plant in Texas, a facility managed by Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC. It includes a ground surveillance radar tower image of an unidentified object and enhanced imagery of the same object processed by Sandia National Laboratories. The specific date of the incident is not visible in the available text.

The document is significant because it places an unidentified object incident at one of the United States' primary nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facilities. Both pages are marked UCNI (Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information), meaning the substantive content — including the actual images, object description, and incident details — is withheld under 10 U.S.C. § 128 exemptions, designated (b)(3) UCNI. Pages 1 through 4 of the underlying report are absent from this release, leaving the full incident narrative unavailable.
