This declassified U.S. Air Force mission report (MISREP) from the 389th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron covers a two-ship F-15E defensive counter air flight flown from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base under Operation Inherent Resolve on 21 February 2023. Near Shaddadi, Syria, the aircrew reported radar jamming at FL270, which the report attributes to a Turkish X-band jammer. They also observed three possible UAP at FL240 with no radar returns and later one possible balloon at FL210. USCENTCOM declassified the report for AARO in October 2025.
From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 2/21/23, 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 “possible balloon” at approximately 2,100 feet. 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.
