This is a U.S. mission report (MISREP) from the 50th Attack Squadron covering an Operation Spartan Shield ISR sortie flown out of Al Dhafra (OMAM), United Arab Emirates, on 24 October 2023. USCENTCOM declassified it on 12 September 2025. The aircraft collected SIGINT and imagery for NAVCENT and got a professional guard call from Iranian air defense. The crew logged two UAP sightings, at 0241Z and 0322Z. Both were judged benign and solid, and neither showed maneuverability or intelligent control.
From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 10/31/23, Arabian Gulf. 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. 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.
