The GENTEXT, or “general text” section of these reports often contains important qualitative, contextual information, distinguishing it from the more quantitative, or numerical, data found elsewhere in the report. A U.S. military operator reported observing “5x UAP fly across the screen.” The report continues by describing one of those observations as a “possible missile” and the remaining four as “possible birds.” All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.

About this type of document

This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized reporting form the U.S. Military uses to record the circumstances surrounding its operations. U.S. military services often use MISREPs to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO.

This is a USCENTCOM mission report (MISREP) for an ISR aircraft under Operation INHERENT RESOLVE, classified SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY, declassified on 7 October 2025 by MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff (USCENTCOM MDR 25-0093, approved for release to AARO). The aircraft took off at 0246Z on 6 May 2022 and was on station from 0958Z to 2036Z (mission type REC/XCAS, primary sensor FMV/SI), landing at 0004Z on 7 May with a last engine shutdown at 0014Z; the 609th Operations Center, 432 AEW and 379 AEW appear among the administrative entries. The narrative says it conducted SIGINT collection and target development, with a mission intent to report all personnel, vehicles, weapons, footpaths, comms equipment and occupied buildings, and that dust hindered most FMV collection of the ground. The observation entry is dated 061514Z May 2022 (the ISR narrative says 1515Z) and logs "1X UAP" seen by FMV near grid 38SMC53/54. The narrative states that from 1514Z to 1934Z the crew observed 5 UAP fly across the screen: the first had the VISRECCE of a possible missile, and the 4 others the crew saw in its field of view until 1934Z fit closer to the profile of possible birds. The report logs 1 observation among 2 total taskings prosecuted.
