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 flying north to northeast. The observer reported following the UAP for as long as possible but was unable to positively identify it. 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 declassified SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY Mission Report (MISREP) from the 196th Attack Squadron (196 ATKS) under Operation INHERENT RESOLVE, covering a reconnaissance sortie flown on 20-21 May 2022 out of OKAS. The report includes a UAP section documenting a single unidentified aerial phenomenon observed at 2043Z on 20 May 2022 during the mission. The observing aircraft followed the UAP flying north to northeast but the screener was unable to obtain a positive identification.

Analyst Notes
The UAP description is minimal — no size, shape, color, or physical characteristics were recorded; all key UAP parameters (altitude, velocity, trajectory, physical state, signatures) are listed as unknown. The screener could not positively identify the object, leaving open the possibility of a conventional aircraft, drone, or sensor artifact. The aircraft callsign and specific grid coordinates are redacted under 1.4a exemptions, limiting full geospatial context. No multi-sensor corroboration or radar data is referenced in the UAP section.
