USCENTCOM mission report (Misrep 9337873) documenting a 33rd Special Operations Squadron ISR aircraft's observation of a small, circular UAP flying just above the ocean toward land off Greece on 29 October 2023.
On 29 October 2023 at 0811Z, a 33 SOS ISR platform operating out of LGLR (Larissa, Greece) under USCENTCOM tasking observed what its crew described as a seemingly circular UAP flying just above the ocean surface toward land, then lost the object from the sensor feed at the same minute it was first reported. The mission report logs the object's kinetic velocity at an estimated 30 MPH, its propulsion as unknown, and the observer assessment as benign, with no maneuverability, no signatures, no RF emissions, and no effects on persons or equipment. The aircraft carried an AN/DAS-4 targeting pod and AGM-114 Hellfire variants, with FMV as the primary sensor and Link 16 datalink. The file was declassified by USCENTCOM Chief of Staff MG Richard A. Harrison on 22 January 2026 and approved for release to AARO under USCENTCOM MDR 26-0019.
