The account
The report covered 144 US Government reports from November 2004 to March 2021, 80 of them seen by more than one sensor; only one was identified with high confidence, as a large deflating balloon (p.4). In 18 incidents described in 21 reports, objects seemed to hover in wind, move against it, manoeuvre abruptly or move fast with no visible propulsion, and pilots filed 11 near-miss reports (pp.5-6); the report proposes five explanatory bins, one of them a catch-all 'other' (p.5).
