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. Its general text (GENTEXT) section typically holds the qualitative context that complements the numerical data elsewhere in the report.

A U.S. military operator reported observing one UAP on July 14, 2024, which maintained a straight flight path at the same altitude. The report notes its speed was faster than flying speed, and the operator assessed the object as benign, following it until the distance became too great. The descriptive language reflects the operator's subjective interpretation at the time and is not a conclusive statement about the object's characteristics. The record was released by the Department of War through the PURSUE declassification.
