Mission Report, Arabian Gulf, 2020

This is a U.S. Air Force mission report (MISREP) under Air Forces Central Command (AFCENT), classified SECRET with a declassification date of 2048 and heavily redacted. It includes a UAP section reporting that four UAP were observed at about 1736Z. One was seen at 17:36:22, two side by side at 17:36:30 and one at 17:36:49. Cloud cover kept the sensor from following them and getting a clear visual. The report marks advanced capabilities or materials as NO.

From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: N/A, N/A. Released with redactions. This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized reporting form the U.S. Military uses to record the circumstances surrounding its operations. U.S. military services often use MISREPs to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. The GENTEXT, or “general text” section of these reports often contains important qualitative, contextual information, distinguishing it from the more quantitative, or numerical, data found elsewhere in the report. A U.S. military operator reported observing a “line of dots followed by a trailing dot.” All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.
