This U.S. Air Force mission report (MISREP), filed by the 482nd Attack Squadron under Operation Inherent Resolve, covers an ISR flight that took off from OKAS on 1 December 2022 and landed on 2 December 2022. During the flight the aircraft collected SIGINT and supported a task force near Baghdad, Iraq. At 1620Z the crew observed one possible UAP or UAV flying west to east, did not follow it, and continued the mission. USCENTCOM declassified the report in October 2025 and approved it for release to AARO.

From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 12/1/22, Iraq. 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 “possible UAP” flying from west to east. The observer did not pursue the UAP. 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.
