A U.S. Air Force Mission Report (MISREP 7467030) from a May 2022 Operation Inherent Resolve ISR flight, declassified by USCENTCOM in July 2026, recording full-motion-video observation of probable UAPs at an estimated 80 to 180 mph.
MISREP 7467030, originated by 20 ATKS and classified SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY, documents a May 4 to 5, 2022 air mission under Operation INHERENT RESOLVE and USCENTCOM (release metadata places it in Iraq; the pages redact the location). During planned target development the crew reported probable UAPs traveling southwest at roughly 80 to 180 mph, size estimated at 1 to 2 meters, altitude undetermined, observed by full motion video from 0524Z to 0704Z on May 5 while dust storms degraded some collection. The sensor reacquired the objects after returning to the original points of interest, and the report states they did not hinder the mission. MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff, declassified the record on July 10, 2026; the release description's account of six spherical objects at 480 mph does not appear in the six pages of extractable text.
AT 0524Z, OBSERVED PROB UAPS TRAVELING SW AT ROUGHLY 80-180 MPH.p.1
WE WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE ALTITUDE. THE SIZE OF THE UAPs WERE APPROXIMATELY 1-2 METERS.p.6
DURING THE OBSERVATION PERIOD, WOULD REACQUIRE THE UAPs AFTER RETURNING THE SENSOR BACK TO THE ORIGIONAL POI LOCATIONS. THE UAPs DID NOT HINDER THE MISSION.p.6
DUE TO DUST STORMS SOME COLLECTION ON UAPS WAS AFFECTED BETWEEN 0524Z AND 0704Z.p.5
MISSION INTENT FOR THE TASKING WAS TO CONDUCT POL, IDENTIFY PID OF WEAPONS AND WEAPONS/AMMO STORAGE AREAS, AS WELL AS IDENTIFY PERSONNEL WITHIN THE COMPOUND.p.5
Method of Observation: FMVp.6
Intel Gap Filled?: Yesp.6
