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 at an estimated altitude of 1,800 feet. 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 4782130) from the 482nd Attack Squadron documenting a ~21-hour ISR mission flown from OKAS over the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman in September 2020. The mission supported NAVCENT operations to characterize Iranian/IRGCN vessels and UAS activity. At 1732Z on 16 September 2020, the aircraft's sensor observed a UAP via FMV (Full Motion Video) at grid reference 39RVM5, while flying at FL180 at 90 KIAS. No further description of the UAP is provided in the unredacted portions of the document.

Analyst Notes
The UAP entry in the observation section is extremely sparse — the gentext states only that a UAP was observed at a grid coordinate; no physical description, size, shape, color, motion, or behavior is documented in the unredacted text. The method of observation is FMV (sensor-based), which adds some evidentiary weight over naked-eye observation, but no sensor imagery or detailed FMV description is included. Two unexplained EMI events causing complete link loss preceded the UAP observation, which may or may not be related. Aircraft and asset type are redacted, limiting full context. The report does not indicate any follow-up investigation of the UAP.
