This declassified U.S. Central Command mission report (MISREP), released to AARO after review in June 2025, covers an Air Force surveillance flight by the 124th Attack Squadron on 14 July 2024. Most of the flight was intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance work in support of NAVCENT and AFCENT. At 0517Z the crew saw one UAP flying a straight path at low altitude, heading northwest faster than the aircraft. They followed it until it was too far away to track. The observer judged it benign and reported no effects on people or equipment.
From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 7/14/24, Gulf of Aden. 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 on July 14, 2024. The observer reported that the UAP maintained a “straight flight path at same altitude”. The report notes that the UAP’s “speed was faster than flying speed,” and the operator assessed the object as “benign.” The operator reported following the UAP “till the distance became too far.” 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.
