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.
  • Each object could be held on the targeting pod in TV mode for about 20 seconds before dimming and vanishing; none were in formations seen on prior sorties.
  • 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.
