Document summary
A declassified USCENTCOM mission report for a 2020 defensive counter-air sortie by a two-ship of F-16CMs. Starting at 2302Z the aircrew observed several bright objects maneuvering quickly from west to east; each could be held on the targeting pod (TV mode) for about 20 seconds before dimming and disappearing. An analyst note records that the targeting-pod signature of a possible UAP differed from that of a star.
Official page text
- Several bright objects (recorded as roughly 10–20 possible UAPs) were seen maneuvering quickly west to east.

- An analyst comparison found the targeting-pod signature of a possible UAP differed from that of a star.
Official note
- The objects were not identified and most identifying details are redacted; OCR of this document is poor.
- This summary is AI-generated from the document text for navigation purposes only and is not an official analysis or conclusion.
