A mysterious plane circling Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday has been identified by the Navy, but they have not provided an official statement on what exactly it was doing.

For nearly an hour, the aircraft, identified as IRON99, circled the city in an oval shaped pattern before heading to Oklahoma.

Thousands of people concerned about the strange sighting called local news station Denver 7 to report what they were seeing. The station reached out to the Denver Airport, local military bases, and government agencies, but was able to learn nothing.

“Further research into the plane’s title of IRON99 turned up bases in the northeastern part of the nation that frequently give out the title of IRON to their military flights, however the title is usually reserved for T-38 aircraft, which are distinctly black,” the station reported, noting that this plane was white.

On Thursday, the Navy responded to the station confirming that the plane was in a holding pattern over Denver the day before, but stated that the mission is classified. Lieutenant Leslie Hubbell, the assistant public affairs officer for Commander Naval Air Forces detailed that the IRON99 is a Navy E-6B Mercury jet aircraft, created by Boeing at a cost of $141.7 million per unit, Denver 7 reported.
