This FOI release contains ATSB occurrence reports documenting an incident on 17 July 2022 near Sydney Airport (YSSY), involving a Boeing 737-8FE aircraft on approach to runway 34. The crew observed two black sphere-shaped objects tethered together in close proximity to the aircraft during descent, with the objects passing from above to below the aircraft. The crew confirmed the object was not a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS). The incident resulted in no injuries, property damage, or accident outcome, with the ATSB assessing defence effectiveness as adequate. The occurrence was classified as a routine reportable event. The release includes the occurrence notification record and detailed occurrence report (OA2022-07042), with supporting documentation referenced but substantially redacted under section 47E(d) regarding operator and aircraft registration details. No specific causal analysis, safety recommendations, or investigation conclusions are provided in the excerpted material.
