DOW-UAP-D028, Rapporto di Missione, Iraq, Settembre 2024
Descrizione ufficiale
Questo documento è un Rapporto di Missione (MISREP), un modulo di segnalazione standardizzato che le forze armate statunitensi utilizzano per registrare le circostanze relative alle proprie operazioni. I servizi militari statunitensi utilizzano spesso i MISREP per segnalare Fenomeni Anomali Non Identificati (UAP) all'AARO. La sezione GENTEXT, ovvero “testo generale”, di questi rapporti contiene spesso importanti informazioni qualitative e contestuali, distinguendosi dai dati più quantitativi, o numerici, presenti nel resto del rapporto. Durante un test di calibrazione delle armi, gli operatori militari statunitensi hanno riferito di aver osservato un riflesso di lente (lens flare) tramite i sensori a infrarossi MX-20 e MX-25 dopo il lancio di un missile aria-superficie AGM-176 Griffin. Gli operatori hanno descritto la fonte del riflesso come un UAP in movimento attraverso il campo visivo del sensore dell'aeromobile ad alta velocità. L'osservatore ha valutato che il riflesso fosse associato a “una significativa fonte di calore.” Tutto il linguaggio descrittivo ed estimativo contenuto in questo rapporto riflette l'interpretazione soggettiva dell'osservatore al momento dell'evento. Tali caratterizzazioni non devono essere interpretate come un'indicazione conclusiva della presenza o dell'assenza di eventuali caratteristiche intrinseche dell'oggetto o delle sue prestazioni.
✦ Riassunto IA
Rapporto di missione USCENTCOM declassificato (MDR 25-0100 - 25-0103), Special Operations Task Unit 016 / 16 SOS, 27 SOW, che documenta una sortita di tipo armed-overwatch/AC-130 il 20-21 settembre 2024 da una base nell'area di Al Udeid (OKAS) nell'ambito dell'Operazione Inherent Resolve. Il velivolo è entrato nella Zona Operativa Ristretta 'Raindrop' della base aerea di Ayn al Asad, in Iraq, intorno alle 1930Z per effettuare una calibrazione delle armi, rilasciando 20 colpi da 105 mm, 101 da 30 mm e 1 missile AGM-176 Griffon. Dopo aver ricevuto una richiesta di fuoco intorno alle 2025Z e aver rilasciato l'AGM-176, l'Ufficiale dei Sistemi d'Arma e l'Ufficiale dei Sistemi da Combattimento hanno osservato un oggetto non identificato "volare" attraverso i sensori MX-20/MX-25 del velivolo ad alta velocità tra il rilascio della munizione e il suo impatto, creando un bagliore sulla lente a infrarossi indicativo di una significativa fonte di calore. Non è noto se un oggetto secondario si sia staccato dall'UAP principale immediatamente prima che uscisse dal campo visivo del sensore; l'equipaggio ha mantenuto la designazione laser fino all'impatto della munizione sul bersaglio e non ha più riacquisito l'UAP. Il movimento dell'oggetto è apparso predeterminato, non una reazione al rilevamento, e non sono state osservate capacità avanzate né effetti su personale o attrezzature. Declassificato dal Magg. Gen. Richard A. Harrison, Capo di Stato Maggiore di USCENTCOM, il 24 ottobre 2025, diffuso ad AARO.
