CASE FILE D-64
The Military Crew That Reported a UAP, Twice
2026-08-19 · Declassified UAP records
In November 2020, a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper — flying for the 482nd Attack Squadron — was supporting the U.S. Navy's NAVCENT across the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman.
According to the declassified USCENTCOM mission report (Misrep 5039166), the crew logged a UAP at 2143 Zulu. Five minutes later, at 2148 Zulu, they logged a second one.
What the sensor actually saw is recorded in two 'observation lines' — and both are redacted, along with the operation name and the aircraft's callsign, under national-security exemption 1.4a. The drone's full-motion video was exploited by a Distributed Common Ground System station.
For context: the Pentagon's own UAP office, AARO, has publicly released MQ-9 Reaper footage of unidentified metallic orbs over this same Middle East region. This report is a separate incident, and its footage has not been released.
Below is the declassified page, redactions preserved. Every figure here comes straight from the file.

Where It Happened
Full Transcript
A U.S. military drone over the Gulf logged a UAP. Five minutes later, it logged a second one.
November 2020. An MQ-9 Reaper, supporting the U.S. Navy across the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman.
At 21:43 Zulu — military time — the crew observed a UAP. Five minutes later, at 21:48, they observed another. Two sightings.
What they saw is written into the report as two observation lines — and both are blacked out, along with the operation name and the drone's callsign, under exemption 1.4a.
The Pentagon's own UAP office has released Reaper footage of unidentified orbs over this same region. This is another case — and its two sightings stay classified.
