FGC:Episode 01 Cut 032A
Woman A (OFF):“The unidentified object is still approaching our position.”
Shin-seiki: The tactical display here indicates that Sachiel came ashore just east of Tokyo-3 and is heading towards the Geofront.
Someone: Why do they call it “UnidentifiedObject”? They ought to know that Sachiel is an Angel.
Reichu: Probably because they don't visually confirm it until C-033.
Gundampilotspaz: Or maybe its pattern hasn't been confirmed as Blue.
Reichu: Blue, schmue. Like Gendo says in a moment, you'd have to be stoned to not know what Sachiel is!
Sharp-kun: Since this is the JSSDF, there's a chance they don't know. Perhaps Nerv didn't want them to know just yet?
