USCENTCOM mission report DoW-UAP-D33 documenting a US military ISR aircraft observing a circular UAP making 90-degree turns just above the ocean surface near Greece on 27 October 2023.
On 27 October 2023 at 0035Z, a US Air Force ISR aircraft from the 33rd Special Operations Squadron en route to a tasked target spotted a UAP flying just above the ocean surface, taking multiple 90-degree turns at an estimated 80 MPH. The observing aircraft, operating under USCENTCOM with takeoff from LGLR (Greece) at 2339Z on 26 October and landing at OJMS (Jordan) at 1309Z on 27 October, lost the object from its feed at 0038Z. The report describes the UAP as seemingly circular and too small to make out details, with propulsion means unknown and no intelligent control assessed. The mission report was declassified by MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff, on 22 January 2026 and approved for release to AARO on 26 January 2026.
