This is a U.S. Central Command mission report (MISREP), declassified on 16 March 2026, from the Air Force's 482nd Attack Squadron. It covers a 20.42-hour ISR flight from 2 to 3 November 2020 in support of NAVCENT over the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman. The crew answered a guard call from Iranian air defense and saw two unidentified aerial phenomena on full motion video at 2143Z and 2148Z. Haze prevented imagery collection.
From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 11/2/20, Iran. 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 two UAP on November 2, 2020, at 2143Z and at 2148Z. The first observation occurred at an unknown altitude. The reporter described the second UAP’s direction of travel as proceeding to the northwest. 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.
