Official Description
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2022. The original reporter digitally altered the imagery by adding a red line encircling an area of interest before submitting it to AARO. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D12, described the UAP as moving from north to northeast. The operator reported that they were unable to positively identify the UAP. Image Description: The image contains an encircled, elongated area of contrast in the top left quarter. The area of contrast increases in intensity along its length from top left to bottom right. This image description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.
This document is a USCENTCOM recommendation to AARO consisting of a single still image derived from a U.S. military sensor system, showing an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) observed in Kuwait in May 2022. The image, cleared for open publication by the DoD Office of Prepublication and Security Review on March 10, 2026, shows an elongated area of contrast in the upper left quadrant, circled in red by the original reporter. The accompanying context indicates the UAP was reported as moving from north to northeast and could not be positively identified by the operator.

The document consists of a single still image only; no video, radar, or multi-sensor data is present. The original imagery was digitally altered by the reporter prior to submission (red circle added), which reduces evidentiary integrity. No witness testimony or detailed technical metadata is included in this release. The object appears as a small, faint elongated smear in the sensor image, which could plausibly represent a mundane object, sensor artifact, or atmospheric phenomenon. Single-sensor, single-frame evidence with no corroborating data limits analytical value.
