CASE FILE D-19
The F-15E Fighter Crews Who Logged Three UAPs Over Syria (2023)
2026-08-17 · Declassified UAP records
In February 2023, a U.S. military aircraft during Operation Inherent Resolve operating over Syria recorded an unidentified object its crew could not explain.
The encounter is documented in an official USCENTCOM mission report, declassified and released through AARO — the Pentagon's UAP office.
The report confirms the crew observed a possible uap. But the specifics — position, sensors, identities — are withheld under national-security and privacy exemptions.
Below is the document itself, reconstructed with the redactions preserved, followed by the full narration transcript and the approximate location of the encounter.

Where It Happened
Full Transcript
At twenty-five past midnight, two F-15E crews checking in with their controller suddenly reported three possible unidentified aerial phenomena near Shaddadi, at an altitude of twenty-four thousand feet.
It was February 2023, and they were flying a defensive counter-air mission over Syria, part of Operation Inherent Resolve. Just a minute earlier, they had been hit with radar jamming at twenty-seven thousand feet. Then, this.
The declassified mission report—case D-19—shows the entry. But nearly every operational detail around it is blacked out under national security and privacy exemptions.
No description of the objects. No explanation of what they were doing up there. Just a timestamp, a location, and a note that a weapons system video was produced—then redacted.
