Document summary

A declassified USCENTCOM mission report (MISREP) for an October 2023 ISR sortie flown from Al Dhafra under Operation Spartan Shield. The aircrew recorded two separate UAP observations — one at 0241Z and one at 0322Z — with little descriptive detail; the same mission also logged a professional radio "guard call" from Iranian air defense.

Official page text

  • Two UAP incidents were logged at 0241Z and 0322Z; physical state "Solid", thermal imaging showed the objects as cold.
  • Estimated kinetic velocities of roughly 320 mph and 440 mph were recorded; shape and other features listed as unknown.
  • Both were assessed benign; the mission separately received a professional guard call from Iranian air defense to maintain distance from the border.

Official note

  • UAP descriptions are recorded as "unknown" 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.
