July 28, 2023, The Missile Destroyer JS Ayanami reported sighting of a mysterious lone delta wing aircraft over the island of Snowstone, near the Osean mainland. This article is being made three weeks prior to these said sightings.

A.A.I denied this as their aircraft and Javelin industries as well as United Aeronautics said this might have been one of their one aircraft doing night patrols.
However, Fire Controller of the Ayanami, Ryu Takashi, is pushing the idea of Project Keiko's presence.

Once again, United Aeronautics and their allies denied it and said it might have been R.A.E's F-69 and Poyasakai Aerospace says it could have their swing-wing MRF.27E Akagi doing a high speed patrol over the abandoned Hyakuri Air Base. Due to these arguments, Ayanami's Fire Controller was sent down to the med-bay for a mental check-up.


An Osean Reporter showed two more photos of the sighted aircraft, revealing that the Aircraft was a twin-engine, Twin-tail delta-winged aircraft with what appeared to be a Special Experimental Recon Pod and Missile Pods on the belly. Javelin Industries suggested the idea of an Erusean fighter like the Su-35 flying a test mission. The Reporter was persistent that the sighted plane was Project Keiko and demanded that A.A.I founder and Ace fighter pilot, Teal Nakamura, to stop hiding secrets. Mr. Nakamura fired back, saying he would call security if he didn't silence himself and wait his turn to speak, then offending the Osean culture, saying he was Loud, Naive, and can't keep their own heads out of anyone's business. Angrily, the Reporter left the carrier JS Akagi, with his prove being denied.

To confirm the denial, the MSF-4XJ Anima, named Phantom, went out to search the area of the sighted plane the very next day. Phantom came back to the Akagi with no evidence of any fighter flying in the area. JS Ayanami was ordered to travel back with Missile destroyer JS Yukikaze and Patrol Cruiser JS Atago back to the main battle group with JS Akio and JS Akagi.
