Misrep 8799515
USAF MISREP documenting an air mission under AFCENT/USCENTCOM. Narrative and most operational details are fully redacted.
Analysis
Four objects flew beneath the aircraft in rapid sequence: one at 17:36:22, two side-by-side eight seconds later, and a fourth seventeen seconds after that. The crew tried to follow but cloud cover blocked any clear visual. The entire encounter lasted less than 30 seconds. Most of this report is blacked out under multiple FOIA exemptions -- unit, location, and mission details are all gone.
Key Findings
- Four UAP observed flying in the aircraft's field of view at approximately 1736Z
- Temporal sequence: 1 UAP at 17:36:22, 2 UAP side by side at 17:36:30, 1 UAP at 17:36:49
- Cloud coverage prevented the aircraft from following or getting clear visual identification
- UAP Advanced Capabilities assessment marked: NO
- Report cross-references ISR 1 for additional sensor data
- Declassification date set for June 3, 2048
