This declassified U.S. Central Command mission report (MISREP) records an Air Force Special Operations ISR flight by the 3rd Special Operations Squadron from OMAM on 6 to 7 June 2024 under Operation Enduring Sentinel. Weather prevented it from reaching its tasked station, and during two scanning tasks it watched for dhow traffic. On the return leg the crew recorded one UAP, a glowing, hot, spherical object with a vertical pole beneath it, flying straight just above the water at 140 knots. The crew assessed it as benign.
From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 6/7/24, Gulf of Oman. 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 at an estimated altitude of approximately 24,000 feet. The observer estimated the UAP’s speed as 163 knots (187 mph). 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.
