Document summary
A declassified USCENTCOM mission report (MISREP) describing a September 2024 armed-overwatch sortie. During a weapons-calibration shot, the aircrew observed a UAP "fly" through the aircraft sensors at high speed between munition release and impact, creating an infrared lens flare that indicated a significant heat source.
Official page text
- The UAP crossed the sensor field of view at high speed during a precision-guided munition shot; its IR lens flare on the MX-20/MX-25 sensors indicated a strong heat signature.
- The crew noted it is unknown whether a smaller object detached from the primary UAP just before it left the sensor view.
- Recorded UAP physical state "Solid"; assessed benign; the object's path appeared predetermined and not a reaction to the aircraft.
Official note
- Unit, callsigns and precise coordinates are redacted; the UAP was not re-observed, so no follow-up data exists.
- This summary is AI-generated from the document text for navigation purposes only and is not an official analysis or conclusion.
