This document is a declassified Mission Report (MISREP) from the 89th Attack Squadron (ATKS) detailing an armed reconnaissance mission over Syria on 30-31 July 2022. During the mission, an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP) was observed via sensor systems, and the case remains unresolved. The document was released to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) under review.

What This Document Contains

• A chronological timeline of a multi-sensor intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) mission, including imagery intelligence (IMINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection.

• Explicit report of an “UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENON” observed at a specific Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) location, logged as UAP 1.

• Post-mission analysis of full motion video by a Distributed Ground Station (DGS) and mission statistics (20.9 total hours).

Key Observations

• “AT 310239ZJUL22, OBSERVED AN UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENON IVO 37SFU271w”7(SEE UAP 1).” The sensor operator noted the encounter while on station.

Source: OCR Page 1, Mission Narrative

Context & Significance

The report originates from a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper mission (inferred from “ARMED RECCE” type and 89 ATKS) under Operation Inherent Resolve in Syria. This is one of multiple UAP cases referred to AARO, illustrating how UAP sightings are embedded in routine combat ISR operations. The document’s declassification and release under MDR 25-0094 indicates AARO’s ongoing review of military UAP encounters in active theaters.

Evidence Assessment

What this document shows:

• A U.S. military intelligence platform detected an object that could not be identified at the time of observation.

• The sighting was recorded on full motion video and later exploited by a DGS, though resolution details are not provided.

What this document does NOT show:

• No confirmation of extraterrestrial origin or technology; the term “unidentified” denotes lack of positive identification.

• No definitive identification of the object (e.g., adversary drone, balloon, sensor artifact, or clutter).

• No data on object behavior, size, or flight characteristics beyond the location marker.

• Independent analysis should refer to the original document.

[WARN] Assessment: The evidence is limited to a single sensor report with no follow-up analysis described in this MISREP. The garbled OCR (e.g., “37SFU271w”7~”) suggests potential degradation or redaction of the exact MGRS coordinates. Without the associated video or exploitation results, the UAP sighting remains unresolved and cannot be assessed further.’ keyFindings: [] tags:
