This is a declassified SECRET//NOFORN Mission Report (MISREP) from the 389th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron (389 EFS), 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing, documenting a 2-ship F-15E Defensive Counter Air (DCA) mission flown on February 20-21, 2023, under Operation Inherent Resolve, departing and returning to Muwaffaq Salti Air Base (OJMS), Jordan. During the mission, aircrew reported multiple UAP-related observations in the vicinity of Shaddadi, Syria, including three possible UAPs at FL240 and one possible balloon at FL210, along with a radar jamming event. A Wireless Sensor Video (WSV) was produced for both sighting events.

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 “several bright objects maneuvering quickly west to east northeast. The operator reported achieving a track on the UAP via an onboard targeting pod for approximately 20 seconds. The report describes that UAP then dimmed and disappeared from the targeting pod. 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.

Apollo 11 was the third crewed mission to the Moon and the first to land Astronauts on the lunar surface. This document is an excerpt from the Apollo 11 Technical Crew Debriefing (Volumes 1 and 2) from July 31, 1969. The document highlights three observations: one, an object on the way out to the Moon; two, flashes of light inside the cabin; and three, a sighting on the return trip of a bright light tentatively assumed by the crew to be a laser. • Page 6-33 (Vol. 1). [Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 11, Buzz Aldrin]: “The first unusual thing that we saw I guess was 1 day out or something pretty close to the moon. It had a sizeable dimension to it, so we put the monocular on it.” The crew speculated that it could have been the S-IVB stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle. • Page 6-37 (Vol. 1). [Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 11, Buzz Aldrin] “The other observation that I made accumulated gradually. I don’t know whether I saw it the first night, but I’m sure I saw it the second night. I was trying to go to sleep with all the lights out. I observed what I thought were little flashes inside the cabin, spaced a couple of minutes apart…” • Page 21-1 (Vol. 2). [Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 11, Buzz Aldrin] “I observed what appeared to be a fairly bright light source which we tentatively ascribed to a possible laser.”

Conclusion: Unresolved; Embassy confirmed no known U.S. aircraft present and requested USCINCPAC clarification.

Conclusion: No official U.S. conclusion stated; the cable notes scientists have discredited Maussan's alien corpse claims and Graves characterized the display as an 'unsubstantiated stunt.'

This is a U.S. Embassy Mexico diplomatic cable dated September 16, 2023, transmitting a weekly political blotter covering Mexican political developments from September 11-15, 2023. One section briefly reports on a September 12 Mexican Congressional hearing on UAP, during which journalist Jaime Maussan presented alleged alien corpses and former U.S. Navy pilot Ryan Graves testified, alongside videos of Mexican pilots encountering fast-moving aerial objects. The cable is primarily a political reporting document, with UAP content constituting a single section among eight topics covered.

This is a military Mission Report (MISREP) documenting a UAP observation in the Arabian Gulf region in 2020. The only substantive unredacted content is a brief description noting that at 1246Z, an observer reported 1x probable UAP in the vicinity of grid coordinate 3SKT4255899519, with no mission impact and continued original tasking. The remaining six pages are almost entirely blacked out under the 1.4(a) exemption.

Conclusion: Unresolved

A two-second infrared sensor video clip submitted by U.S. Africa Command to AARO depicts a small, indistinct area of contrast moving across the sensor field-of-view near Djibouti in 2025. No oral or written description was provided by the reporter, and no analytical conclusion has been reached. The footage is looped for viewing purposes and remains officially unresolved.

An FBI office memorandum dated April 17, 1958, from Special Agent Robert Ross Reynolds to the SAC Detroit office, documents a telephonic UFO report from a Detroit civilian named David Weaver. Weaver described observing a circular object with a crystal-type dome that reflected light, traveling northward over Detroit. The memo recommends forwarding the information to Air Force authorities.

This FBI file (62-HQ-83894, Serial 220) contains a translated letter dated March 19, 1950, from Miguel Angel Garcia Macias of Veracruz, Mexico, addressed to the 'President of the Commission of Scientific Investigation of the United States,' along with associated drawings and a Mexican newspaper clipping. The letter presents pseudoscientific invention concepts and a theory that flying saucers are atomic-powered stratospheric aerostats. The file also includes a translated newspaper article describing what is claimed to be the first photographs of a flying saucer taken over Durango, Mexico, by engineering student German Horacio Robles Jr.

This FBI file (62-HQ-83894, Serial 449) is an October 1966 memo from the SAC Los Angeles to the FBI Director, transmitting a copy of Issue No. 24 (July 1966) of 'Flying Saucers International,' the official journal of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA). The file was opened because an IRS employee in Philadelphia flagged an article in the magazine as potentially expounding the Communist Party line. The bulk of the document is the actual magazine itself, containing convention announcements, contactee accounts, newspaper clippings about UFO sightings, and a channeled 'message' from an alleged extraterrestrial named Kalen-Li Retan of planet Korendor.

This document is an annotated version of an Apollo 12 lunar surface photograph (1969) featuring a yellow-box highlight drawing attention to a small luminous point object visible above the lunar horizon near the right edge of the frame. The image shows the shadow of an astronaut in a spacesuit cast across the lunar regolith, with a dark sky above. The highlighted inset zooms in on a small bright point with apparent red and white coloration against the dark sky.

This is an archival Apollo 12 (1969) lunar surface photograph, apparently sourced from NASA film records, showing the lunar terrain with an astronaut shadow visible in the foreground. The image has been annotated with a yellow inset box highlighting a small luminous point object visible above the lunar horizon in the dark sky, presented as an area of interest for UAP analysis purposes.

This image is a processed version of an Apollo 12 lunar surface photograph (1969) in which five areas above the horizon have been digitally cropped and magnified to highlight small luminous anomalies visible in the lunar sky. The image has been editorially annotated with yellow boxes and labels (Area 1 through Area 5) to direct viewer attention to points of light or luminous objects above the lunar horizon. The document's provenance and analytical authority are explicitly disclaimed in the accompanying context blurb.

A 6-page internal memorandum dated July 18, 1963, authored by Maxwell W. Hunter II of the National Aeronautics and Space Council's Professional Staff, addressed to Robert F. Packard at the State Department's Office of International Scientific Affairs. The document presents speculative policy analysis on what the U.S. government should do if an alien intelligence were discovered, covering scientific theories of planetary formation, the plausibility of Martian life, interstellar travel scenarios, and recommended diplomatic postures. It contains no reports of actual UAP sightings or encounters.

This FBI file serial (62-HQ-83894, Serial 403) contains the dust jacket and promotional material for the book 'They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers' by Gray Barker, published by University Books, Inc. The material describes the book's premise about flying saucer researchers being silenced by mysterious 'Men in Black' figures, and provides a biography of the author. No actual investigative content, incident reports, or UAP evidence is present in this serial.

This image appears to be an annotated version of an Apollo 12 lunar surface photograph taken in 1969, with two highlighted regions labeled 'Area 1' and 'Area 2' pointing to small points of light visible above the lunar horizon in the dark sky. The base photograph shows the lunar surface with an astronaut's shadow visible on the right side. The yellow annotation boxes are editorial additions to the original photograph, intended to direct viewer attention to anomalous light points in the sky portion of the image.

Conclusion: Light flashes were observed continuously during dark-adapted periods but were absent during the ALFMED blindfold experiment interval, consistent with the cosmic ray retinal stimulation hypothesis being studied.

This is an excerpt from the Apollo 17 Technical Crew Debriefing conducted on January 4, 1973, prepared by NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center Training Office. The document records post-mission debriefing statements from astronauts Cernan, Evans, and Schmitt covering unusual observations during the mission, including a fireball sighting during reentry and continuous light flashes experienced throughout the flight. The light flashes were associated with the ALFMED (Apollo Light Flash Moving Emulsion Detector) experiment, a known phenomenon caused by cosmic ray particles interacting with the retina or brain.

Conclusion: Russian Ministry of Defense categorically denied any Russian aircraft were involved; cable authors assessed Russian denials as likely false, motivated by political and military pressure on Georgia.

This is a CONFIDENTIAL State Department diplomatic cable from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow dated October 30, 2001, reporting on meetings between Ambassador Vershbow and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mamedov, and separately with MFA Georgia Desk Chief Tereoken, regarding Georgian accusations that Russian aircraft violated Georgian airspace and bombed the Kodori Gorge on October 28-29, 2001. The term 'UFO' appears only as a dismissive rhetorical device used by Russian official Tereoken to characterize unverified reports of aircraft in the region, not as a reference to any anomalous aerial phenomenon. The cable's authors conclude that Russian denials are likely a 'bold lie' to conceal deliberate military pressure on Georgia and Chechen groups.

Conclusion: No confirmed UFO sightings in Turkmenistan, per UOU President Muradov.

This is a U.S. Embassy Ashgabat diplomatic cable reporting on a November 5, 2004 meeting between the Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) and USAID Director with the Union of UFOlogists (UOU) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan. The cable describes the UOU as a surprisingly effective NGO partner for U.S. government civil society and humanitarian programs, noting with wry amusement that the organization's UFO branding gives it unusual access and credibility with local authorities. No actual UAP sightings or incidents are reported; the UOU president explicitly states there have been no confirmed UFO sightings in Turkmenistan.
