Mission Report, Middle East, 2025

This is a MISREP from Operation Inherent Resolve covering an Air Force ISR sortie on 28-29 October 2025. During the sortie an operator reported seeing a UAP on the video feed, described as a white round orbit moving as fast as 500 mph. Most unit, location and sensor details are redacted.

Context · why this verdict

The substantive UAP content (pages 1, 6-8) has no match in earlier releases; the only overlap is boilerplate form fields on page 3 shared with DOW-UAP-D109, a different 2022 report in the same release.
