Detail
This Mission Report (MISREP) is a standardized U.S. military form used to record the circumstances of operations, and is frequently used to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. The report's general text (GENTEXT) section typically carries the qualitative, contextual detail that complements the numerical data found elsewhere.
A U.S. military operator reported observing a single UAP over the Mediterranean Sea, describing it as triangular and metallic. The operator estimated its altitude at 24,989 feet and its speed at 168 knots (193 mph). The descriptive language reflects the operator's subjective interpretation at the time and is not a conclusive statement about the object's actual characteristics. The record was released by the Department of War through the PURSUE declassification.
