DOW-UAP-D108, Mission Report, Middle East, 2025
This 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.

Probed Assessment
The report preserves estimated and descriptive fields while also documenting important unknowns and negative entries.
Key takeaways
- The official mission report is the primary source for the report fields and narrative.
- Reported observations and estimates are retained as reported, without treating them as an identification or validated performance measurement.
Why it matters
This record makes the source report and its explicit uncertainty available for comparison with related released material.
Corroboration
The report is source-checked page by page. Its entries describe the reporting unit’s account and do not independently resolve the reported phenomenon.
Open questions
- • Whether separately released sensor material or supporting records provide additional context beyond the mission report.
Probed separates this editorial assessment from the source claims below. It summarizes what the released artifact supports; it is not independent verification.
Official Description from War.gov
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.
