A U.S. military operator over the Aegean reported a UAP 'flying just above the surface of the ocean' and making 'multiple 90-degree turns' at about 80 mph, and filmed it for three minutes. Two days later another small round object was filmed skimming the sea toward land, vanishing as it crossed the coast.
