This is a Turkish UAP case from 2018 involving thermal camera footage reportedly recorded by a former Turkish Air Force member during night duty near Karacadag, Diyarbakir, in southeastern Turkey. According to the witness, the object was not visible to the naked eye and could only be seen through the thermal camera. He says he recorded about four minutes of footage, then continued watching it for another thirty to forty minutes before it suddenly rose upward and disappeared. That final movement was not recorded. The object appears suspended above the terrain in the thermal footage. The witness describes a strong heat signature in the center, while the upper and lower parts appear colder. He also says there was no sound, no visible light, and no recognizable aircraft behavior. He states that another person was called over and also saw the object through the thermal camera, although neither of them could see anything outside with the naked eye. I am not presenting this as proof of anything. It is still a witness account and should be analyzed carefully. But the case is interesting because it includes a specific location, a military/aviation witness, thermal-camera context, and a longer interview explaining what was allegedly observed. Full credit goes to the original YouTube uploader/interviewer and the witness. I am only sharing this here for discussion and analysis.
