USCENTCOM Mission Report 9337873 documenting an Air Force ISR aircraft's observation of a circular UAP skimming the ocean surface during a 28-29 October 2023 sortie out of LGLR in the Aegean.
A 33rd Special Operations Squadron ISR asset, callsign redacted under 1.4a, flew a 20-hour, 1-minute mission out of LGLR (Larissa, Greece) on 28-29 October 2023 in support of CENTCOM tasking. At 0811Z on 29 October, while returning to base, the crew spotted a single UAP described as "seemingly circular, too small to make out details" flying just above the surface of the ocean toward land at an estimated 30 MPH. The aircraft, equipped with the AN/DAS-4 targeting pod and AH/GMESH, carried 2x AGM-114R9E and 2x AGM-114R2 munitions; full motion video of the mission was exploited by GET. The UAP was logged as a UAP Incident, assessed Benign, propulsion unknown, with no maneuverability, no effects on persons or equipment, and was lost from sensor feed the same minute it was acquired.
