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 “formation of unknown flying objects” traveling northeast to northwest along the coast for approximately two minutes. The report notes that light cloud coverage “prevented the continuous tracking of the formation.” 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.
This is a USCENTCOM Mission Report (MISREP 4685903) from the 482nd Attack Squadron documenting a reconnaissance flight from OKAS on 26-27 August 2020. The aircraft conducted a 21-hour ISR mission supporting NAVCENT operations over the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman. At 1527Z on 27 August 2020, the crew observed a formation of unknown flying objects traveling northeast to northwest along the coast, which was tracked for approximately two minutes before positional identification (PID) was lost due to light cloud cover.

Analyst Notes
The UAP formation was observed for only approximately two minutes before cloud cover obscured it, preventing sustained tracking and precluding any detailed characterization of size, speed, altitude, or number of objects. No radar data, sensor imagery, or corroborating ground-based tracking is documented. Aircraft heading, altitude, and airspeed of the observed objects are all listed as unknown. The sensor type used for observation is redacted. The formation could plausibly represent birds, balloons, drones, or other conventional objects given the brief observation window and adverse weather. No follow-up investigation or additional analysis is referenced in the report.
