DOW-UAP-D107, Mission Report, Middle East, 2025
A U.S. Air Force Mission Report from an Operation Inherent Resolve sortie records a nine-minute sensor-feed observation of an object the operator called a "white round orbit" moving as fast as 500 mph over the Middle East on October 29, 2025.
MISREP prod-dod-11937169 was filed by the 11th Attack Squadron (11 ATKS) under the 432nd Air Expeditionary Wing for a single-aircraft Operation Inherent Resolve mission that took off at 1953Z on October 28, 2025 and landed at 1605Z on October 29, a 20-hour, 12-minute flight (pages 1, 2, 4). At 0141Z on October 29, with the aircraft at about 22,500 feet and on target, the crew observed a UAP on the sensor feed, described it as looking like a white round orbit, tracked it moving as fast as 500 mph, and lost it at 0150Z (pages 6, 8). The form codes the event as a "UAP Incident" with physical state "Solid," no effects on persons, and every kinetic value marked "Estimated"; the fields for number of objects, propulsion, signatures, and intelligent control are left blank (pages 6, 7). Originally SECRET//NOFORN with a declassification date of October 28, 2050, the report was declassified on June 8, 2026 by Major General Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff, and it accompanies the infrared footage released as DOW-UAP-PR133 (page 1).
