DOW-UAP-D16, Mission Report, Syria, July 2022
A 31 July 2022 Mission Report from the 89th Attack Squadron describing a sub-minute UAP observation over Syria during an Operation Inherent Resolve ISR sortie.
The MISREP, originated by the 89 ATKS under the 432 AEW and routed through the 609th CAOC, covers a 20-hour 57-minute armed reconnaissance sortie out of Muwaffaq Salti Air Base (OJMS) on 30-31 July 2022. At 310239Z JUL 22, the aircrew logged an unidentified aerial phenomenon in the vicinity of grid 37SFU2 in KP 9, with the object tracking from north to south in under a minute while the friendly aircraft was at 19,359 ft and 116 KTS. Full motion video was exploited by DGS, and the report was declassified on 8 October 2025 by MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff, under MDR 25-0094 through MDR 25-0099.
