This is a U.S. mission report (MISREP) filed by the 33rd Special Operations Squadron under USCENTCOM. It covers a 20-hour ISR flight that took off from and landed at LGLR on 28 and 29 October 2023. The crew carried out full motion video collection and saw no activity tied to their collection requirements. At 0811Z they reported one possible UAP flying just above the ocean toward land. They described it as seemingly circular, solid, benign and not under intelligent control, with an estimated speed of 30 mph, before losing it from their feed. USCENTCOM declassified the report in January 2026 and approved it for release to AARO.
From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 10/29/23, Aegean Sea. 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 a UAP “flying just above the surface of the ocean.” The report describes the UAP as “[flying] straight above the ocean towards lands.” 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.
