Official Description
This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized reporting form the U.S. Military uses to record the circumstances surrounding its operations. U.S. military services often use MISREPs to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. The GENTEXT, or “general text” section of these reports often contains important qualitative, contextual information, distinguishing it from the more quantitative, or numerical, data found elsewhere in the report. A U.S. military operator reported observing one UAP, estimating its speed as “approximately 434 knots (499 mph)”. The observer described the UAP as diamond-shaped, with a non-maneuvering probe at the bottom. The observer noted that the UAP was only visible when viewed via an onboard Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) sensor. The observer reported that the event occurred over a duration of approximately two minutes. All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.
Key Findings
This is a declassified USCENTCOM Mission Report (MISREP) from January 25, 2024, documenting an ISR mission operating out of LGLR (Larissa Air Base, Greece) during which a single UAP was observed via SWIR camera at 0509Z. The UAP was described as diamond-shaped with a non-maneuvering probe at the bottom, flying at approximately 434 knots at FL200, and was only detectable on the SWIR sensor. The event lasted approximately 2 minutes and was assessed as benign by the observer.
Analyst Notes
Single sensor observation only — UAP was visible exclusively on the SWIR camera with no corroborating radar, visual, or other sensor returns; no sensor interrogation was attempted. All kinematic data (speed, altitude, trajectory) are explicitly noted as estimated, not measured. Observer rank is Senior Airman/E-4, a relatively junior observer. No third-party observers or reporters were present. The document's own disclaimer notes all descriptive language reflects subjective interpretation and should not be taken as conclusive.
