United States Central Command is the geographic combatant command responsible for U.S. military operations across the Middle East and parts of Central and South Asia.
United States Central Command is one of the Department of Defense’s geographic combatant commands. Established in 1983 from the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force, CENTCOM directs joint military operations across an area spanning the Middle East and portions of Central and South Asia. Its headquarters is at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, while forward facilities and component commands support operations throughout the region.
The command integrates forces from the military services for campaigns, deterrence, regional partnerships, air and missile defense, maritime security, and counterterrorism. It does not own every unit permanently; forces are assigned or allocated for missions, and service components execute much of the operational work. Intelligence and sensor data generated in the theater can pass through command, service, coalition, and national channels with different classification and retention rules.
Several military UAP videos and reports released in recent years originated within CENTCOM’s area of responsibility, including observations over Syria, Iraq, and surrounding waters. A theater label identifies where an event entered the operational system, not what the object was. Videos may lack range, metadata, platform details, or the additional sensors necessary for a confident public assessment, and ordinary aircraft, balloons, drones, or imaging effects remain possible in individual cases.
CENTCOM’s relevance is operational rather than ufological. It manages crowded airspace where American, allied, adversary, civilian, and unmanned systems overlap under combat conditions. That environment makes unidentified objects a genuine force-protection and flight-safety issue even when no extraordinary explanation is involved. The command’s contribution to UAP data collection is strongest when reports preserve sensor context and can be shared with analytic offices without compromising ongoing operations. Theater-wide consistency can also reveal whether similar signatures recur across platforms or disappear when better contextual data are available.
Again, I'm glad we have Ruppelt's audio ❤️. It's history, and it reminds us those folks had the same Qs we have now, 74.5 years later. BUT, as I said before t [Quoted] Back to sleep. What a disappointment. Glad that we have historical, QUALITY audio from Ruppelt in 1952, but 99% of the rest of this release is just not good enough to attract new attention to the subject. I'm sharing this video bc the object allegedly traveled up to 500mph. At 4:30, there's a closer shot but it quickly zooms th...
It's us again! WAR.GOV just released the 6th tranche of data. As with previous releases, we have indexed and made it searchable/filterable on clearthesignal.com. And before we get accusations of AI or just site promotion, we have no monetization on this. Its purely a passion side project a few friends put together. We just want to make accessing this info as easy as possible and filter out the noise in the space. All that to say, here's the details on the 6th release: 72 new records New agenc...
This is an interesting case. And it is great to see estimated speeds. Six small objects moving at 480mph and frequently changing direction. We're still missin [Quoted] 'The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 1 minute of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025.

I'm only sharing things that are interesting from today's release. This one isn't bad. The rest of what I've seen so far is not good. Dots in the sky or above the water. Not wasting your time with that stuff. DOW-UAP-PR135, UNRESOLVED UAP REPORT, MIDDLE EAST, 2025 The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 1 minute of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military p...
ReportAnalyzedThis May 2022 mission report records an FMV observation that the reporting unit described as UAP activity during an Operation Inherent Resolve mission. It reports estimated speed and size while stating altitude could not be determined, so the record does not identify an object or establish its performance.
ReportAnalyzedThis October 2025 mission report records a UAP incident during an Operation Inherent Resolve mission. It preserves the observer’s description and reported speed, but the form leaves velocity and trajectory fields blank or estimated and does not establish identity or a measured performance.
ReportAnalyzedThis July 2025 mission report records a UAP incident during an Operation Inherent Resolve mission. The form preserves descriptions and an estimated velocity while also recording unknown control and propulsion, no material recovery, and no asserted advanced capabilities.
ReportAnalyzedThis May 2022 mission report records an FMV observation described by the reporting unit as UAP activity during an Operation Inherent Resolve mission. It reports estimated speed and size, says altitude could not be determined, and notes that dust storms affected some collection.
