Official Conclusion

Unresolved; UAP propulsion means and intelligent control listed as UNKNOWN, no advanced capabilities confirmed.

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 the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (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. This mission report accompanies video footage derived from an infrared system aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025 (DOW-UAP-PR135). A U.S. military operator reported observing UAP, describing it as consisting of “six small spherical objects grouped together, and characterized their behavior as “seem[ingle] agile,” and “frequently changing direction.” The reporter estimated the speed of the UAP to have been 480 miles per hour. 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

• →The UAP was described as '6X SMALL SPHERICAL OBJECTS GROUPED TOGETHER' observed at FL220 (approximately 22,000 feet altitude) traveling at an estimated 480 mph on a southeasterly trajectory.
• →The UAP was characterized as 'AGILE, FREQUENTLY CHANGING DIRECTION' and 'ABLE TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS QUICKLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY,' noted as anomalous characteristics/behaviors.
• →Initial UAP contact was recorded at 292022:32ZJUL25; UAP propulsion means and intelligent control were both listed as UNKNOWN.
• →No sensor interrogation of the UAP was conducted (interrogation field marked NO), and no physical effects on persons or equipment were reported.
• →The observer (rank SSGT/E5) reported the UAP 'FOLLOWED OF OWN ACCORD UNTIL LOST' and the event was reported afterwards; no engagement was made.
