This declassified mission report (MISREP) was filed by the 482nd Attack Squadron and is marked as coming from the U.S. Department of War. It covers a surveillance flight on 8 August 2020 that took off from OKAS and supported NAVCENT over the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman. At 0726Z the aircraft recorded one UAP on full motion video, noted as transiting, with no impact to the mission. Iranian air defense also hailed the aircraft with a standard call.
From the source:Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 8/8/20, Arabian Gulf. Released with redactions. 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. The report describes the UAP as “transiting” and notes it had “no impact to mission.” The report also states that “dense cloud coverage intermittently impacted FMV collection.” 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.
