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 “shaped as a bouncy ball.” The observer described the UAP as traveling “~424kn (483 mph) consistently for at least 7mins.” The reporter described the UAP approaching from the south. The operator assessed the object as “benign.” 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 2153Z on 9 November 2023, a U.S. Air Force ISR aircrew observed one probable UAP shaped as a bouncy ball (sphere) approaching from the south at near co-altitude during return-to-base flight over Syria.
• →The UAP traveled at approximately 424 knots consistently for at least 7 minutes, dropped altitude, and safely passed the aircraft before going out of range.
• →The observer assessed the UAP as 'Benign' with no RF emissions, no reaction to observer actions, no effects on persons or equipment, and no indication of intelligent control.
• →The UAP's physical state was recorded as 'Solid,' propulsion means as unknown, and advanced capabilities were noted as YES due to the sustained ~424KN travel in a bouncy ball trajectory.
• →The UAP event was formally logged with serial number 092153ZNOV2023-CENTCOM and the full motion video from the mission was exploited by redacted parties; the UAP description field references sensor data that remains redacted (1.4g).
