This is a mission report (MISREP) from the U.S. Air Force's 65th Special Operations Squadron, 1st Special Operations Wing, filed for Operation Inherent Resolve under USCENTCOM. USCENTCOM Chief of Staff MG Richard A. Harrison declassified it on 10 July 2026. On 29 July 2025 the crew of an ISR mission reported a UAP incident: six small spherical objects grouped together at an estimated FL220 and 480 mph. They seemed agile and changed direction quickly and simultaneously. The report records no effects on persons or equipment, no engagement and no recovered material.
From the source: Release of 2026-09-18 Incident: 2025, Middle East. 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 the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (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. This mission report accompanies video footage derived from an infrared system aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025 (DOW-UAP-PR135). A U.S. military operator reported observing UAP, describing it as consisting of “six small spherical objects grouped together, and characterized their behavior as “seem[ingle] agile,” and “frequently changing direction.” The reporter estimated the speed of the UAP to have been 480 miles per hour. 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.
