DOW-UAP-D109, Mission Report, Middle East, 2022 is indexed as a Department of War record with incident date 2022 and location Iraq. 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 unidenti ed 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 2022 (DOW-UAP-PR140 and DOW-UAP-PR141). A U.S. military operator reported observing UAP, describing it as consisting of six small spherical objects grouped together. They characterized the behavior of the UAP 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 re ects 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. Redactions have been made to protect the identity of eyewitnesses, the location of government facilities, or potentially sensitive information about military sites not related to UAP. No redactions have been made to any files released under President Trump's directive concerning information about the nature or existence of any encounter reported as a UAP or related phenomena.
