U.S. Department of War · 2022-05-29 · 9 pages · text from the file's own layer

This declassified U.S. Air Force mission report (MISREP) from the 50th Attack Squadron covers an ISR flight from Sigonella Air Base over the eastern Mediterranean on 29 to 30 May 2022. It records imagery collection on Syrian naval and coastal defense sites and Russian warships, and a reaction by possible Russian SU-30 aircraft. At 0117Z the crew observed one possible small UAP flying north to northeast, which could not be positively identified. USCENTCOM declassified it on 8 October 2025 for release to AARO.

From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 5/29/22, Syria. 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 one UAP flying north to northeast. The observer reported following the UAP for as long as possible but was unable to positively identify it. 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.
