DOW-UAP-D035, Mission Report, Greece, October 2023

Official Conclusion

Benign; no anomalous characteristics or behaviors identified

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 a UAP “flying just above the surface of the ocean.” The report describes the UAP as “[flying] straight above the ocean towards lands.” 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

• →At 0811Z on 29 October 2023, the crew observed a UAP flying just above the surface of the ocean, described as 'seemingly circular, too small to make out details,' moving straight above the ocean towards land at an estimated 30 MPH.
• →The UAP was lost from the FMV feed at 0811Z, the same time it was first observed, suggesting a very brief observation window.
• →The observer assessment of the UAP was 'Benign,' with no maneuverability observations, no signatures, no effects on personnel or equipment, and no intelligent control detected.
• →Full Motion Video (FMV) of the mission was exploited by a Ground Exploitation Team (GET), indicating sensor data was captured and reviewed.
• →The UAP physical state was recorded as 'Solid,' propulsion means unknown, and advanced capabilities listed as unknown.
