This document is a declassified U.S. Air Force Mission Report (MISREP) detailing an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) mission in the Eastern Mediterranean. The report was originated by the 50th Attack Squadron (50 ATKS) and declassified on 8 October 2025 by USCENTCOM Chief of Staff MG Richard A. Harrison for release to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). It includes a brief notation of a possible unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) sighting.

Source: Official Description, OCR pages 1-3 (MISREP narrative and metadata fields)

What This Document Contains

• A timeline of an ISR flight that took off from Sigonella Air Base, collected SIGINT, conducted IMINT, and reacted to aircraft before returning to base.

• A specific line item at 0117Z stating: “ONE POSSIBLE SMALL UAP WAS OBSERVED. SEE UAP LINE 1.”

• The original classification was SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY, with a declassification date of 29 May 2047, but early declassification was authorized for AARO’s review.

Source: OCR page 1 (narrative) and page 2 (classification, declassification, and mission metadata)

Key Observations

Source: OCR page 1, UAP line entry

The document’s sole UAP reference is a terse operational log entry:

“AT 01172, ONE POSSIBLE SMALL UAP WAS OBSERVED. SEE UAP LINE 1.”

No further description of the object’s characteristics, flight path, or sensor data is included in the provided text. The notation directs to a separate UAP line that may contain additional details not present in the released excerpt. The event occurred during the mission’s time on station in the SRO track over the Eastern Mediterranean.

Context & Significance

This MISREP is part of a batch of military records (MDR 25-0094 through MDR 25-0099) released to AARO in October 2025, consistent with the U.S. government’s effort to consolidate UAP-related information from operational units. The document demonstrates that routine ISR missions occasionally log unknown aerial objects, which are treated as discrete observed items alongside other operational events (e.g., aircraft reactions). The involvement of the 50 ATKS and 603rd Air Operations Center places this within Air Force ISR enterprise reporting channels, not a dedicated UAP investigation.

Source: OCR pages 1–2 (MSGID, MSNID, OPERATION fields); declassification statement on page 1.

Evidence Assessment

What this document shows:

• A U.S. military ISR asset recorded “one possible small UAP” at a specific time and location during a classified mission.

• The sighting was logged as a single line item in a mission narrative, indicating it was noted but not elevated as a priority incident in this report.

What this document does NOT show:

• No confirmation of extraterrestrial origin or technology; the term “UAP” here denotes an unidentified aerial phenomenon without implying source.

• No definitive identification of the observed phenomenon (e.g., as a known aircraft, sensor artifact, or natural phenomenon).

• No sensor data, imagery, or follow-up analysis is included, limiting independent verification.

[WARN] Assessment: The evidence consists solely of a brief, ambiguous log entry within a declassified operational mission report. Without access to the referenced “UAP LINE 1” or associated full-motion video (noted as exploited by DGS-IN and DGS4), the observation remains unsubstantiated and unexplained. The document provides context that the mission was operating in a busy airspace (with reactions by possible Russian-made fighters), underscoring that the UAP could be a misidentification of a conventional object. Corroborating data would be necessary to strengthen this report’s probative value.’ keyFindings: [] tags:
